Chase@Adams Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 This is a new client, GREAT people, plenty of cars. This is the first run, the wife's/mom's Mercedes. None of the other cars are this bad (I hope), but I'll find out in the next week, as I have them all lined up. I feel they're about to trade this one, but want it resurrected before doing so. Today I just tackled the interior ONLY, had 5 hours absorbed in this. Not very many products used, but a great turnaround. Here's how I tackled it: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner, & Adam's Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner were the chemicals of choice Adam's Horsehair Interior Brush, Adam's Carpet Brush, Adam's (old) Lugnut brush (have the new one, but kept the old one JUST for tasks like this), and plenty of my "dirty" job microfibers were the tools of choice Touched up the wood & metal bits with Adam's Detail Spray Conditioned all door panels & seats with Adam's Leather Conditioner Along with my ShopVac, some good ol' fashion water & elbow grease, we got down to business Here's the interior upon my arrival, pure dirtyness: Back middle hump....this is SUPPOSE to be creme colored, not gray/brown... Tanning lotion kills your seats FYI. Hasn't even been vacuumed in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@Adams Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 At this point, I had seen enough, time to get busy with my boys. Nasty, unnecessary closeup of the passenger front floormat....poor thing.... Came up with my own drip dry system, lol. Got all the personal belongings out of the cubbies, doors, and seat pockets. Time to get the crud out of the cracks. Scrubbin' on the console. Moving the seats around revealed all kinds of junk. These guys are workin' overtime.

Chase@Adams Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Makin' some progress. All buttoned up. WHEW. I know it's not PERFECT. Some stains were BAAAAD. If I'd had been at home, with my HOT tap water outside, there'd have been more progress. And if they paid me more, lol, I would have gotten it further corrected as well. For the pay, the time, I'm VERY happy with the turnaround, and so were they! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCandySHO Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 People that do that to vehicles should only be allowed to own 10 year old KIA's. I saw a Ferrari the other day sitting at a stop light that was so filthy I just wanted to get out and smash him in the face. Nice work.

SHOdded Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 We all know that's not the same care (before/after), right? :bolt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nice job! Do you sometimes find with certain cars it just makes more sense to get new factory mats? I mean if somebody has a lot of money, adding money onto the bill and they have new mats might be the way to go.... Car looks great, but for me, that driver's heel spot staining would make me buy new mats. Again phenomenol job!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can STILL see some residual staining left behind just slightly. Now with hot water & more time, I could've gotten those out. But YES, if it were my car (although my cars never even get CLOSE to this level of filth) I would've just bought new floormats. The cool part about this client, is this allows me to show them what I'm capable of, so it worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 ^^ I agree wholeheartedly with every word. I used to detail cars as a business in college (not of the professional grade like you) and did simply buy new mats from the dealer from time to time, as not only did it impress the client, but saved me hours of work for a not perfect end product. If they did not ask if they were new mats, I didn't tell them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yes, Shoman...Adam is the name of the guy who founded the company...Adam Pitale, he's a really great guy. I've been lucky enough to have spent some time with Adam, and I can't begin to tell you how nice of a guy he is and how hard he works to make sure his customers are happy. However, our guy here is Chase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@Adams Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 ADAM I'M right next door in Ga. how much for the full detail like that? May have to come vist it. Lol. I'm CHASE. If you are really serious, feel free to call me, so we can discuss specifics. No two cars are alike, so a "blanketed" estimate usually doesn't work. But I can give you a rough idea. My contact info is on my website if you become serious. And I can come to you if need be. I travel to my surrounding states, no problem. My contact info is on my website!! http://www.insanepaintdetailing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interceptor Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wow. It's amazing a 2011 could be that filthy, let alone a Mercedes. No wonder the dealers love my trades. I wouldn't treat a Geo Metro that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
