The exterior wasn't bad other than some tar and leftover wax on the plastic from the previous detailer (which is why I got the call this time around). The interior was somewhat neglected but not AS bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still a mess.
First step was to simply vacuum everything and see what was going to come out with the least effort. Next step was to get into the crevices and get the dog chews and French fries out. As I was cleaning the door jambs, I hit the rear hatch and found an active bees' nest near the top of the rear hatch. I keep a can of bee killer in my crate for just such emergencies. I pulled out the rear seats to get into the seat tracks much to the surprise of the customer. I wound up using a hard bristled general purpose brush to brush the hair loose from the carpet and vac it out. Used a MF cloth and OPC to wipe down every surface in the vehicle and get the crud off the dash and the mystery stain off the driver's seat. This was a time consumer as it seemed every time I thought I'd gotten that last spot I found something else. Lightly sprayed the stains on the carpet w/OPC and let it sit while I cleaned the glass and leather. Washed and extracted the spots on the carpet . Thankfully nothing was permanent. Gave everything one last pass with the vac to make sure no hair was left behind and moved on to the outside.
Outside went very smoothly. A couple of shopping cart looking paint transfers came off with a little elbow grease and the tar came off within about 20 seconds of applying Tarminator. Wax went on and off quickly and included waxing the windows. Total time spent was 4.5 hours.
