Some pictures of a dirty ass car my shop detailed.

back in December we had this guy bring in his toyota and he wanted to have the interior detailed. The seats were pretty ripped up and it was just totally filthy, i've never seen something this bad. If you even touched the interior your hands would get dirty.

Take note, the first picture shown was while we were in the process of cleaning the headliner. This black portion is NOT a shadow, that's how dirty this thing was.

 

I have no idea azn. we just clean up their mess. Probably from driving with the windows open all the time. All the deisel fumes usually stick to the upholstery. It was a bitch to clean. Had to go over it a couple times to get it looking right.

Here's a few more pics. First two are a before and after of a '00 expedition engine that we did. The other is an engine of an '02 CLK and the last is a pic of a '98 C class brought the paint job back to life.

 

May have been flooded at one time or another. The door panels looked like it had some flood damage.

 

It's actually a car wash and detailing shop. Exterior, interior and engine detailing, Lime and scale removal, tar and adhesive removal, waterspot removal and headlight cleaning. We also do tinting and paintless dent repair. Just small stuff, I'd like to get into painting and mechanical work but my space isn't big enough for all of that. I work full time and i have my small shop to put attention to on whatever small time i have left. Just something i thought i'd do to keep me even more busy.lol

 

DREAMZmustang, That's usually what we do also. We just pull out the whole interior and clean it outside the car and then reinstall it. Once you put it back in you never have any odor problems.

Pedro, we use a lot of different chemicals to clean the engine. For all the aluminum parts we use an aluminum cleaner it's very consentrated so we mix it 10:1 (take another look at the CLK engine and look at the evaporator) the stuff really makes aluminum look new again. It's just a little dangerous to use if you don't know what your doing. We also use all purpose cleanerand lime and scale remover. almost all of the stuff i use is either Mark V or Mothers. You actually can use armor all on the engine, the trick to it is just water it down a bit with water about 1:4. That way you still get the amor all look on all the black plastic but the dust won't stick to it as bad. Where i live in the Philippines, it's VERY dusty here and i also have to consider that. I do my engine myself all the time and i don't have any real problems with dust sticking to the plastic.

Engine detailing is a real pain in the butt cuz we have to clean every little screw and bolt, Draining some of the fluids in order to clean the inside of the plastic containers/reservoirs. I can't explain how much of a pain in the ass it is but maybe DREAMZ can vouch for that.
