The definition of black-Worst interior ever!

[Carbon Blue]

Upon arrival this Jeep Commander on 22’s pulls up to my driveway Thursday night. After talking with the owner for a little bit he kept asking me if I could clean the seats, mind you I have not seen the interior prior to the vehicle coming. I say “im sure I can take care of it�. The owner leaves and I give the commander an exterior inspection, the paint doesn’t seem too bad lots of swirling and some tar build up but that’s about it. Once I opened the doors it was a whole new story. There were MASSIVE stains on every single seat (imagine pouring a can of Pepsi onto each seat and leaving it to sit). The carpets were a mess which had melted gummy worms on the passenger floor and along with pieces of gum etc. I pull the floor mats up and find crushed cheetos and Doritos. You name it im sure it was underneath the floor mats somewhere. There were plastic Tupperware bowls along with plastic utensils underneath the seats followed by a nice bag of soda cans. I bring the halogens out to further inspect the paint and every single defect and their mom came out (so much for being in decent condition). I also found a key mark down the passenger door that was hidden underneath the swirling. Im sure I could have gotten it out if I had wet sanded though. I really don’t understand how people can invest so much money into their car and then not care for it. Enough of the talk and onto the pics, I KNEW my skills were going to be put to the test both interior and exterior wise. Total time for this was 2 full days of detailing. Oh yea the owners exact words upon arrival to pick up his freshly detailed commander “OHHHHHHHHHH heeeeeeeelllll yeaaaaa!!�

Nice turn around! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but how did the seats come out? It looks like there's still a little staining in there. What did you do/use to clean them? Those things were terrible!!!

 

[dmw2692004]

wow nice turn around! and in the last pic, i just picked up 3 of those lamps at sears for 15 bucks a peice!



Those seats were hideous. what did you use on them?

 

[Carbon Blue]

thanks for the compliments. THe seats were treated with folex, blue magic. blue coral and everything else I had in my arsenal followed by a steam cleaner and wet dry vac. The rear seats came out fine but the passenger seat was so stubborn that I could only get about 90% out. I talked to the owner and asked him what it was and of course it was a spilled pepsi can that was left to sit for a day. He attempted to clean it up by pouring water onto it and left it as is which explains the puddling look.

Great detail!! It looked like it was a two day job on the seats alone. The owner should be proud with that turnaround.

 

[Todd@RUPES]

Nice job on the interior! The seats came out great. On the exterior, was there a specific reason you did not do a full correction? (Curious). Thanks for sharing, nice job!

 

[P1et]

Damn, huge improvement! I hope you charged accordingly!

 

[Rickrack]

That's a huge turnaround!!



At least if you got hungry during the detail there were plenty of snacks under the seats!



So did you snack on any gummy worms? Ha, ha...



That interior was pretty disgusting!

Great job. Seeing cars like this make it clear to me that I could never detail cars for others. I would get really pissed at people for treatng their cars like that.
