Almost turned down a detail job

[NIBBLER]

I got a call from a lady and asks if I could detail her daughters white chevy blazer.I told her no problem.She was wanting it for a highschool dance .

I pull up to her house on friday morning bout 7 a.m.And oh dear Lord,what have I got myself into.The white blazer had large amounts of tar on both sides.Not thin tar but thick,and looking on the passenger side down the glass was something sticky that didn`t want to let go.And the wheels and rims were completly balck.And then ,I opened the doors.Man O man.The lady said I know its dirty ,and of course I was thinking ,this isnot dirty this is digusting.Almost turned it down.I have only been detailing on the side for two months ,and I have ran across some nasty cars ,but none could compare to this one.Well 4 hrs.later it was clean.Even tarminator had its hands full cleaning this.And the sticky stuff on the window like to have never come off.She told me after I was through that it had been a long ,long time since it had been cleaned.She gave me a tip,and I was thinking bout giving her one.Like next time its this bad call somebody else.
Any of ya`ll ever turn one down?

I know the feeling, we all had our share of these details.....

Yes, I`ve had detail jobs that bad!

I had a lady call for a full detail on her 2005 Chevy Impala, bright red with tan leather. She`s a 20-something business woman. How bad could it be?

Have you ever see HUGE GLOBS OF TREE SAP?!!!... All over the hood.

I`ve never seen anything so difficult to remove!:cursing::cursing::cursing:

Some of them were as large as golf balls!!!!ut:

I did tell her to stop parking under pine trees.

The tree sap on the hood looked quite a bit like this:

I`ve fought tree sap and tar, try orange paint - the kind you get if you run over a freshly painted stripe in the road. Interiors? Did a Tahoe the owner uses to carry 6 large dogs in.

I now turn down the really crappy ones - send them to the local "autospa"!
