yea I generally price these on what I feel I should be getting for such a job *edit (as opposed to what my market will typically bear here from my experience)... ... which I did here.... honestly if she declines I will not in the least bit be disappointed
if she says yes. well, at least I`m being compensated for my time and effort the way I feel I should be

Re: Random thoughts thread
I look at those Interior Jobs as a challenge - me against the dirty machine.. :)
Worst one ever - this one made me sick for 2 weeks - New Audi AllRoad - putrefying smell inside soon as you sat down in it - nothing visibly wrong - some hay from bales - (they have horses) - in the back but not all that bad..
After going through the front seats, etc., Steam, Einszett Deep Plastic Cleaner, Meguiars APC+ - all the heavy hitters I use, and the smell still there - I got to the back seat......
Whoa - smell still very strong back there and coming in for the prime location now -----
Pulled the bottom seat out - There it was!!!!!
The Biggest ! The Blackest ! Nasty ! Mold Plant ever devised to kill Humanity ! Growing on the Floorboard and into the Foam underneath the seat bottom !!!
Talk about scary looking - almost 12" in diameter, growing straight up, a big Black Flower...
Had to go full BioHazard OSHA Respirator, Gloves, etc., to grab hold of that nasty thing and remove it from the floor - it did not want to come out easily...
Steamed, Cleaned, Steamed, Cleaned, sprayed a very strong chemical designed to kill mold I purchased from a Shop that sells giant Extractors for trucks, vans...
Finally killed the Beast, kept vehicle an extra 24 hrs to make sure it was not going to grow back...
Cause of Monster Mold Growth -- the kid that sat on that side had been stuffing food down the seat belt holes for some time...
The food - hamburgers, french fries, bread, all kinds of stuff, combined with STRAW - the accelerant - that came from the back and fell down between the back carpeting space and the back of the 2nd row seats into the 2nd row seats bottom, and there you have it - a license to grow and kill everyone in the car.... :)
Lucky I got there in time, they were all sick all the time and this was I am sure the reason why...
Audi turned out beautiful and no more smell of death inside...
I removed the 50+ little car wash smell-trees from the dashboard and put them in a big Uline clear plastic 4mil 4 gallon bag and left them on the passenger seat..
So see, sometimes, we HAVE to go in there and do the mucky work, to save lives... :)
Good luck !

+1. I just love awesome before and after shots and I see a trashed interior as a great opportunity. Take some after pics and add them to your resume!
