Yesterday, while doing the Lexus, I received a call from a local attorney. She was referred to me by another client.......the owner of our local theater. I did his Caddy earlier this week. She said that she would drop it off at the theater's parking lot and I could detail it. I gave her the price and finished up the Lexus. When I arrived to do it, it wasn't what I expected. When you hear "attorney" and "Suburban" in the same sentence, you think new and clean. Nope. Not this one. I should have asked more qualifying questions on the phone! It was old and 189K mile on the clicker. Ok, not to bad on the outside. I opened the door and WOW! Let's just say my had would literally stick to floor. I called her and said I could do nothing for the carpets. We then agreed to just to a wash and wax with a vacuum.

I busted out the PC with Poorboy's Polish with Sealant and let fly. Turned out ok. Well, here's the pics.....

I tried that number with no luck..................
Kidding!

It's exactly what I told her though. 300.00 will get her a new blanket. And I will have save my arms and stomach!
 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!! That is disgusting!! It looks like a whole family with banchees for children were living in that car. What the heck were they doing in there?? Definitely needs new carpet, but if she's an attorney, she should be able to afford one without too much difficulty.
 
Sweat mother of pearls....what do you call that? Just wrong and more wrong wow...I'm speechless over hear....is that mold in the carpet's???

Good thing you phoned back because you would have been there all day trying to clean those carpets.

The paint doesn’t look that bad though, I would of loved to see a picture of the pad. I'm sure it didn't look yellow hehehehe.

Thanks for posting. I'm sure you learned something from this one huh.
 
That's pretty bad Justin. Some people just don't care. I would be embarassed to have any one ride in anything that dirty.

i wouldn't have even gotten in there for pictures... i hope you showered...
 
I was just thinking, she's an attorney.....in that beat azz truck...ummmm did she ever meet or have a client ride with her in that lol?
 
WTF is that red crapola

I dont even think my bush basher was that dirty inside....
 
Justin,

Have you considered grabbing a Carpet Extractor? Considering you do a substantial amount of vehicles each week and are a Full Blown Professional, it will greatly speed up & vastly increase the quality in your interior Details. A Vapor steamer will also help as well.

Woo

I have a Duramaid extractor. The point mainly on this one..........I don't have to do vehicles that are in this condition anymore. In the time it tooke me to do this one, I can do 3 wash/waxes with will yield me about 200.00 more in profit.

That's the nice thing.
 
Geez, that truck was bad.
Didn't anyone else notice the pink shoes? Justin are those your detailing shoes????
You can tell us, we're all family. :grouphug:
Why didn't you wear them at DF? j/k:D
