Want to see a really trashed ride?

Every once in a while I get a call for something like this. Those calls where once you get there and eye ball the ride you wonder how they can let it get that far. I suppose with kids it's not that hard (I will know soon myself ).

Leather treated, vacuum, carpet spot treated(shampoo/steamed), vinyl cleaned, door stops cleaned, glass, engine bay spray and scrub, wash, wax, clay, single step.

Every inch of this 325i was trashed. Every crevice covered in filth.

Exterior Before


Exterior After


The vinyl before cleaning(btw, every handle looked like this before and after)


Vinyl doors and handles after


The floors didn't have any mats on them. :confused Some of the staining would not budge.



















Afters. I don't have a great selection of afters. To be honest when I am in the middle of a 9 hour detail I start to tire and don't feel like making a great log of my work. /shrug

Jeebus!! You're a detail guy, not a Hazmat first responder. Next time kill it with fire. Who knows what kind of cooties you might have picked up.

Very nice job I really don't understand how some people can drive in such filth... just gross: is it that hard to pick up a vacuum? Did you find any old condoms?

With kids, avoid light colored interiors.
But ya, i've learned how to clean interiors that dirty a few years ago.
Nothing like seeing the before/after work.

BTW, what did you use on the leather(rette)?

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
How old was that beast? I am not surprised by how dirty it was, but by how clean it came out. The vinyl after shot was pretty amazing IMO.

I could never sit in a car that filthy. I think I caught something just looking at the pictures. Great work, what did you use to clean the vinyl staining on the doors and center console?

That is absolutely disgusting! Even an occasional full service car-wash would be able to vacuum most of that sh*t up. I can't stand people who treat cars even remotely this bad...and the sad part is, this type of thing is all too common. Although, I have to say it makes gives your work much more impact. Gotta wonder how long this will last though
