The Gloss Boss
You Mirin'?
I wanted to share this interior detail with you all since this is probably one of the worst I have ever done.
Let me paint you a picture of what we're dealing with. A woman calls me a couple of days ago and lets me know that her boyfriend hauled a dead dear in the back of their GMC Envoy, so they need it cleaned up. I couldn't help but just shake my head, roll my eyes, and give the customer an awkward laugh while saying "really?" She had a few choice words to say about his decision. :lol2:
Fast-forward to the detail which I started on yesterday afternoon and I get even more suprises when I do an initial inspection of the vehicle. Who would ever guess that someone that would haul a dead deer in their car wouldn't care about its tidiniess? This car looked like it have never received an interior detail, or it atleast had been a pretty long time. The dash, door panels, console, leather, etc were all coated in a thick layer of dust and dirt. The carpeting which is supposed to be black is now grey and brown with dirt, dust, and grime. While blowing out the cracks and crevices with compressed air I find various petrified french fries as well. Did I mention there was pet hair too?
Tools and products used:
Compressed air
Pet hair removal rock
upholstery brushes of various sizes and shapes
detail brush for crevices, vents, and other tight spaces
6.5 hp shop vac
Dupray Carmen Super Inox steam cleaner/extractor (various attachments)
BioVap degreaser
303 Aerospace Protectant
303 High Tech Fabric Guard
Now here are some before pics. I haven't finished the detail yet so unfortunately this is just a teaser right now. I've invested 6.5 hours into it so far and it's turning out real well, just slow going. The following pictures don't do justice because I was in bad lighting, using a cell phone, and I'm not a pro photographer.
Here are some door panels coated in dust and dirt.
This area looked a lot better just by taking out all of the customer's personal belongings, but it was still a dusty, dirty, sticky mess.
Here's the motherload. This is where the dead dear was. The customer had put down baking soda before he brought it by to help with the odor.
The leather seating was really dust and shiny and full of grime and crud.
Some carpet shots. You can clearly see how dirty the carpet was that wasn't protected by a floor mat.
Some more dust and dirt.
After photos will be posted this weekend. So stay tuned.
