Neglected Toyota Solara

[s2skimon]

Over the phone the customer told me "overall" it wasn`t bad, meaning Paint and Interior. Not !!

The interior was hideous. My pics did not show it unfortunately. Huge, huge neglect. Crap everywhere and all the panels , radio and shifter area had awful "gunk" all over it.

Then upwards above the passenger footwell, had this "haze" under the dust and gunk.

The paint would make your clay bar cry. Mine sure did. Rear end had missing clear bra protection of which I mentioned I could not fix and of which he never mentioned over the phone. I took a pick of the rear as you`ll see.

I for one will never take the customers word anymore. I`m making it a point to see, assess any future vehicles before detailing them.

But in the end, z2 pro without zfx sure came out nice. :-)

Excellent work . I feel the same way about believing customer over the phone. To them is in not in bad condition. Because theyy do not know any better. Now when I get those phone call for a full detail, First thing I tell them I need to do a visual inspection. Some agree others just hang up. But I stick to it.

Nice make-over, that interior was hideous! The paint looks really good, especially for a two step. :)
