Anthony I think you missed a spot!

Man that was bad. Fire extinguisher "stuff" is tough

But the worst interior has to go to the flood car that a dealer wanted me to make look new. Used two bottles of bleach, and a lot of masks.

Yeah - mold is definitely a tough gig (which we have done a few of) - but I can say, to hit EVERY crack and crevice and have to tear apart the interior was a feat! We took all seat bottoms out to clean separately, took vents out so that we could clean as far back as possible in the chambers, removed/cleaned/replaced any component that didn't require unbolting basically! We worked our tails off on this one!
 
I can understand being tired after that workout. Looks like a new vehicle, outstanding job!
 
nice job 30 man hrs ? what can someone get for a job that big and late at night and all ? 450 500 in just pay. 50 60 in stuff.1000.00 job ?
 
Nice work Anthony!! That looked pretty much as I expected as we talked the other night. I guess one of our batteries died before the end of our conversation. Thanks for the call though buddy, it was nice speaking to you again!! Keep up the great work Man!!
 
Great job! If the driver was in there when it blew, how did you clean the excrement from the seat? lol
 
Judging by the thread I was expecting vomit or something along those lines.

But I imagine that is just as bad as dust can get into every nook and cranny.

Nice work on the cleanup.

We had about $20 in product (Mainly APC and Steam) - and Tyson and I are salary and had already made our bottom line for the week - so really we just had to pay 1 employee 10 hours + taxes + gas to job..... so maybe 150 in cost but we charged $600. A descent profit I think.

It seems like this powder would've been an easy vacuum and go home - NOT at all! We triend vacuuming it first then just turned to the apc and steamers cause it was still leaving a thick layer after the vac. + Dismantling alot of stuff made this job one of our toughest interiors for sure.
 
Wow. :props: to you and your crew. That was a feat.
 
I don't even wanna know how many rags you went through on that job...
