LI Detailers :: And The 2009 Dirtiest Car Award Goes To...

[PaPaHoFF]

This customer was looking for a polish and the car to be cleaned up. He was in florida working and the car was sitting at his families house for 3 years. He said it was being used so I figure how bad could it be.. Boy was I wrong.. The car was FILTHY and stunk to the high heavens. I wound up throwing away all of my clothes and towels / wash mitt used on this car. It took me 3 hours just to wash the car and 6 hours for the whole process. The family had no idea he didnt tell me it was in this condition and asked if I wanted to leave (I should have lol). All in all the customer received a Wash, clay and wax on the interior and I substituted the polish for a carpet extraction on the interior. The leather on the car was so cracked and torn that it looks permanently dirty.

:yikes: :eek: :huh: :passout: :vomit: :jawdrop:

That just ain`t right miss treating a vehicle like that.

[POPPAJ]

Ya know, that passenger rear inside door panel just doesn`t look all that bad!

[Ronkh]

Incredible !!!!

I had to make sure it wasn`t April 1st and an April fools joke.

I commend you for going through with the job after realizing you had been duped.

[spitzshineguy]

awesome job

[atkinsonair]

I take it they were happy, that was nasty. Let me ask this question.....would that be a situation where a foam gun filled with a mix of apc and soap would have paid for itself just to loosen up all that yuck? Good job on the car.:wow:

[OCDinPDX]

My God...that thing was TRASHED. Nice turn around.

[fccs]

That is just purely insane.. aha the dirtiness and the cleaning of it!

[tuscarora dave]

that is what the van that I just bought looked like, Great turn around.

[Bellydawg]

Fantastic. :rockon

Was there any clear coat failure under all that stuff? Also might try selling them a headlight cleaning. They definitely could use some love.

[PaPaHoFF]

Thanks everyone! This was by far the worst vehicle I have done to date. The pay was horrible for what I did so after making minimal improvements on the completely scuffed and cracked leather as well as some stubborn stains I gave up. They were happy though.

I mixed in CG Citrus Wash & Gloss and Megs APC in the foamer for this and it worked well. I mean I still had to SCRUB a lot of crap off as it has been like that for 3 years. I was surprised to see it start to be honest lol.

Actually no. The paint was pretty dull and could of definitely used a good polish but the customer did not want to spend much and clearly does not care about his car. Normally if a person appreciates there car and respects the job I will do the headlights out of courtesy or for a smaller fee than usual but this guy was not getting any special attention at all lol.

Very nice job on that POS, filthy, disgusting car!
