I did a good thorough wash on it including wheels, tires, fender wells, and around all seals and logos. I then used iron x and followed that with clay bar and wash. I polished it with HD Polish (forgot my HD Speed) and waxed it with Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax. Been using Collinite 845 applied by machine but didn't have enough so had to hand wax it and man i forgot what it was like doing it by hand lol.

On the interior i used Mckees 37 APC with my Vapamore MR 100 Steamer for the panels and carpets (took a lil while but great results as you can see with the 50/50) Then followed up using an extractor to get a deep cleaning on the carpets. Everything got dressed with Mckees 37 Interior Protectant. I must say the more i use the Mckees 37 line the more i like it.

Wow, I get in some ways this is our jobs and we like doing it but could they keep the car just a bit nicer? Thats like trashed literally, great turnaround.
 
Great work! That interior was brought to you looking like the bottom of a trash can. WOW!
 
Two things come to mind after reading this: 1) people are slobs and 2) you guys all are great at what you do.

Absolutely fantastic turn around. Looks like new.
 
Unbelievable and intensely thorough, oboraballa03! Beautiful work. I also have been using more and more of the McKee's line and have been very impressed.

I really enjoy these posts of "trashed" resurrections from you guys and gals.
 
There should be a law against returning cars to owners that do that. If the interior is that bad, I can hardly imagine how the rest has been maintained.

Nice work! How many hours do you have invested?
 
First, isn't it common manners to at least clean up after yourself. Second, what method did you use on rear hatch and the drain wells? Third, I love these turnaround stories.
