CRAZY interior: 2011 Mercedes C300


Recommended Posts

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:

 

 

Here's the interior upon my arrival, pure dirtyness:

Tanning lotion kills your seats FYI.

Got all the personal belongings out of the cubbies, doors, and seat pockets.

Moving the seats around revealed all kinds of junk.

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! smile.gif

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.

 

Thanks, I thought I was the only person who felt that way!

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!!!!!!!!

Yes I do. That's what I WOULD DO also. 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. :)

^^ 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....

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!

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!!
