    Craziest thing you have found in a detail

    What is the craziest, most off the wall, gross, interesting thing that you have found while detailing a vehicle?

    I have found some thing like $1300 under a seat, said she didn`t know it was there. A few years ago at a detail shop I was working at I found a lady`s "speacial toy"

    Let`s see: petrified McDonald`s happy meals, tampons (new - thank God), condoms in the pack, half a joint, and a thong.

    I used to work for my friend that owns an Avis Rent a car franchise, we had to repo a rental one time that someone wasnt paying for. When we took it back to the shop and opened the trunk there was a grocery bag filled with packages of ground beef. It appeared to be in there for over a week in the dead of summer. There was pepsi spilled all over the dash and ants crawling all through the speedometer and instrument cluster! The smell was overwhelming.

    In an RV party bus: Tampons (used), condoms (used), thongs, mold filled refridgerator

    Regular vehicles: Crappy diapers, molded sandwich in a bag (think it was a sandwich), vibrator, drugs, vomit, and dog crap..... yes, dog crap.

    The smell alone must have knocked you out.
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

    After reading these posts I`m glad that I only do my own vehicles.

    If this was a contest Chris, you would be winner hands down.

    I guess I`m lucky. I did run across a used condom once. I found a hand gun in a car bought from auction once. That`s all I can think of after almost 20 years of detailing cars.

    I have an account that the cars I clean are havens for spiders. I have to be careful because Black Widows keep nesting in the trunk seals.

    Yea, I had some nice dry heaves. I think the one that took the cake was an expedition that had a 50lb. bag of catfish food break open in the rear cargo area. It shouldn`t have been bad, but a gallon jug of water also broke open and made slush out of it. From what I understand, catfish food is made from fish as well? Or an ingredient in it? Correct me if I`m wrong. But the smell at 7AM made me lose my breakfast, over and over... lol That was a looooong day

    You mean this wasn`t a contest????!!!!???
    Never came across spiders, just red ants.
    The dealership I have a contract with, told me to look under the cars first when I started. I was like . Come to find out, the lot in the back where they store some cars, is by a huge field. I guess rattle snakes like to come out and lay beneath the cars to get out of the sun. Never seen one yet, not sure I care to either.....

    Several nasty dipers and an unknown needle was found once. It really doesn`t get more nasty than that in my opinion.

    No entry from me. Luckily I have a more mature, civilized clientele.
