Since my sisters car was having some problems I had to loan her one of mine and go and pick hers up (what a joy driving back home :o). After I got it fixed I thought I would give it a "quick" detail (wash/vacuum) which turned into a pain, lol. I think this is the first time the cars been cleaned since she got it two years ago when she was 16.

How I got the car.

I tried to get a pic of how dirty the car was as I was washing it, you can kind of see the line in the center of the picture. (the bottom half of the door was unwashed)

The water drops on the car is b/c it rained last night.

I know I missed some things (didn't get a chance to shampoo the carpets or seats, so yes there still stained) as I am no where near happy with the way it turned out, but she came early to get it so I had to do what I could. Cleaning the carpets took me a while as I had to vacuum, brush, repeat like 5 times. Luckily I got her floor mats when she bought the car or else I think I would have just got new carpet, lol. The lint on the dash is from the cheap MF towels I was using. All together I think it turned out 100% better then it was. When I get a chance again (sister is a few hours away) I am going to shampoo/polish the car. Hopefully it stays half way clean so I don't have to redo my work next time, lol. I'm done!
 
This triggers a mini rant for me. First of all, good job. You are a good brother.:bigups

Having said that I would also say that you probably should atleast give her a hard time for not taking out all the loose junk and personal stuff.:huh:

I don't think it's too much to expect your sister (or in the case of my rant, customers) to clean out the loose junk and if they want the compartments all detailed out then they should empty those as well. I know when I have my carpets cleaned at home, I take the time to get all the kids toys off the floor as well as laundry or anything else that would get in the way and slow them down. It only makes sense to me.:hmmm:
 
Wow - that's pretty sad that she does not own a trash can where she lives. And I guess all the gas stations where she lives does not have any either.

Great job - I hope you put all her trash in a bag and had her dispose of it for you.
 
Thanks guys for the kind words.

And yes I've had talks about the bottles and such. She said she "collected" them from a party, lol. But yes they were removed from the car. I can't say much being 20 myself.

And nope, I gave her the change back, lol. I found probably the same amount as pictured in the trunk also.

And its hard to picture people riding in the car, but when I went to pick it up, 4 girls where getting out of it and thats the way it was when I picked it up.

When she called me I asked her how her car was looking, she said its clean, it just went through the carwash, lol. I guess she couldn't open the door there.
