OMG the horor!!!!!!! What the heck is all over those seats, are they pee stains from the dogs you mention?

I've absolutley no idea, but I think I'll be needing a steamer and an extractor!

Yuck.

I have 2 dogs and my cars don't look anything like that.

I suppose regular maintenance has a lot to do with it but my dogs know not to pee in the car at least.

Still, why would you wait so long to have it cleaned.



I'm sure you'll have it looking good as new, but I hope you get paid what the work is gonna be worth.
 
Bought a Taurus wagon over the summer that had an interior that looked just like that. Spent over 60 hours in the detail. 18 hours on the carpet alone, and 10 more on the seats and general interior. The dog hair would not come out. I got it all out though. Took many hours with a vaccuum and brush, then a steam clean. Too much work.
 
It was a car I bought for me. I would never bid a job a like that as you could never charge enough. It was a mess inside but the mechanicals were excellent, good service history, documented, decent paint that polished up and shines nice and a low price.
 
I didn't really bid on this car. It's a trader friends client's car who wants to sell it, and he told them straight up that it wouldn't be going anywhere without a serious detail. He asked me if I wanted to do it (no obligation), so I said I would as a challenge (good for the website etc) on the basis that there was no panic for the finished article. I am getting paid decently as well.



I've got it for as long as I need it for, so will do it in drips and drabs. I feel like running it through the swirl-o-matic for it's initial wash. After all, it's not going to make it any worse than it already is...
