This interior detail is probably listed as the top 3 interior details that were very difficult. The previous owner of the car was a hoarder and the car was in very bad condition. If I had to rate this car 1-10 scale, 10 being disgusting, this car was around 999. For normal interiors, it would take me 6 hours to do and use a total of 5 interior towels and 10 gallons of water for extraction. This car I used around 250 interior towels along with 150 gallons of water. I had to make 8-10 passes with my extractor in order to achieve the results I achieved. The carpets were heavily stained with red wine, coffee spills, dirt, oil, and tar from smoking. There was permanent marker sightings on plastic panels and on the roof. The roof of the car was brown and black from years of touching and smoking. To clean the seatbelts, it took me 2 hours. I had to take off the seats and all plastic trims to get a good cleaning. The carpets were glued so could not get them out to powerwash them, which would of saved me a lot of time. All in all, 95% of the stains came out, and most of the red wine stains came out (99%). All coffee stains came out as well. The owner of the vehicle was so suprised she cried in front of me and sang hallelujah lol. When other detail shops rejected her car, I stepped in to save the car! What a good experience and details like these make me better at what I do! First time using half a gallon of APC and 1/2 of degreaser in a car....

Things I used.

1. Mytee Extractor for all carpets.
2. Mr. Clean Pads
3. Tar x on carpets to remove oil and tar.
4. Degreaser
5. All Purpose Cleaner
6. Determination
7. Dedication
8. Also. my Dupray Hill Injection!
 
Here is a picture of the headliners and one pass with extractor on the front seat. About 95 percent of the carpet stains were removed and the car looked outstanding. Wish I knew how to upload quality pictures !
 
Good Lord, Sam!

Unbelievable turn around on that. Kudos. :xyxthumbs:
 
Snap bro. Biohazard levels. Lol. Looks absolutely amazing. Wonder if new carpet would have been easier... Lol. Seriously though great work.

Sam that is exactly the type of job I love and my son hates. I tell him we need these type of jobs so that every job after that seems like a vacation. Your work is excellent, hope that is for a new owner? Just remember not to confuse that 24 hours of Sebring is a race not how much time you should spend cleaning them :buffing: .
 
Fantastic job! Can't believe someone actually got in and drove that thing. Judging by the crayon marks on the back door let there kids in it also.
 
Nice work. So I'm curious, what did you charge for that cleaning job? 30 hours x $50.00 = $1,500
 
I need to add a bissel at least to what I have, Technically when someone asks me to work on their car, im only doing the main parts and not the carpet but sometimes it could help to have one.
 
I'm curious as well as to what you charged for that interior detail. Very nice work, my prediction in a month it will look almost as bad as when you got it. People that keep a car like that don't change over night.
 
Wow. Incredible work. I hope that the new owner keeps it as clean as you got it. Well done. Phil
 
Is the iron used to replace a steamer? Great work btw and I can imagine what that dirty water smelled like
 
I hope you charged appropriately for this! I can't imagine doing anything that bad for anything less than $1k.

That’s probably what the car’s worth... Nobody’s going to pay $1k to get a Chrysler Sebring detailed. Lol.

Might of been a lot easier but the carpets were glued down pretty good with couple of clips so probably be close lol...

Hey Wing! I love these jobs because it test my patience. Rather than working on clean cars, I love going after cars that other details can not detail. This car is for the new owner and wanted to detail the car.

Crayon marks but mostly permenent marker. Can't believe I took the client home in my new lexus RC-F before the detail lol! I detailed the passenger seat right away!

Hey Bill, if you are trying to get an extractor for yourself get a Mytee Tempo. I have the bigger version and had it for 3 years. Probably did over 200+ interiors in that time and the thing never broke down on me. I had the machine on for 8 to 10 hours at one time and the thing is a work horse. I think the Bissel is fine for your own car, but you need something a lot better if you are doing other cars. Plus it will save you a lot of time.
