Just how....

I try everything from baby wipes, toothpaste, lots of APC, and much more. I haven't dealt with this much, but he bought the car for cheap after his blew up. Good dad and just wants the inside clean. He bought it in this condition not long ago. There'll definitely be a lot of photos for this.

Hey OP...

Just remembering some of the content of
your past postings/thread-starters...
Does someone, (however so discreetly), keep on
putting a "Please Kick Me" sign on your back?

Sometimes it's best to just say no.
And without giving a reason why.
Let someone else be the one to go:
Isn't time for others, to clean a sty?

The reason for me taking this on... I posted on my Facebook page about wanting a dirty, but cleanable, interior. Don't have many photos of dirty soccer mom vans. Like the one posted with the suburban the other day. The story he brought about the kids and what's happened lately is why I took the job. I did do a background of him, Facebook and a asked a few people that know him, and he is an excellent dad that got screwed by a buy here pay here and the motor blew shortly after. Now he got stuck with with this car.

You do good for others, and good will be brought back to you. Also, only doing it for $100. Money is not an issue when you know he will tell 100 people about the good deed.

:iagree: If I was blackmailed to deal with this abomination, I just don't see a better way.


Either that or:

Just do the best you can with what you have. Anything will be an improvement.
 
Looks like you got your work cut out for you. Honestly though, some things reach a point of no return. I'd let the customer know that too. I'd tell him "unfortunately this interior has reached the point of no return. I will do my best but I want you to know it will look better but it's not going to look perfect."

I'd vac then get a cyclone carpet brush n hook it up to your buffer. Scrub the heck out of it with megs apc not diluted and the brush. Then use the Bissell and repeat a good 5 or 6 times.

Good luck man that looks rough

I want to say the cost of that car is not worth the cost of the detail that is needed to restore it (if restoring it is even possible).

Would be "cool" to use it as a test car to try out different products and tools though.
 
First off, that's just nasty. You don't know how many times I've done extra stuff at no charge thinking people would run to everyone they know telling them how great I am.
If I were you, don't count on that. People typically remember when you do bad, not when you do good.
With that said, for me it would be a $400 detail, if money isn't an issue for you you should do it for free and write it off.
It is doable but you'll need to use steam and a good extractor.
Take seats out, pressure wash them with a good upholstery cleaner, take carpet out and pressure wash it. More than likely it will not get 100% clean buy about 4 cans of carpet and upholstery dye. Dye it and it should look like new.
