Hey guys, She's A Dirty Dirty Car, Dirty Dirty Car, You'll Never Ever Want One...:headbang: This civic was WAAAYYY dirtier than the previous one I did, writeup is here: http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/show-shine/30267-atd-detailed-2006-honda-civic-interior.htm Must have been pre-owned by a smoker based on the following clues: Black Headliner Caramel coloured substance on ALL surfaces Burn holes on the driver's seat Here are the pics (I have to go and shower now...:tiptoe: Before - Driver Door Panel After - Driver Door Panel Before - Rear Left Door Panel After - Rear Left Door Panel Before - Rear Right Door Panel After - Rear Right Door Panel Before - Front Passenger Door Panel After - Front Passenger Door Panel Before - Steering Column After - Steering Column Before - Cup Holder After - Cup Holder Before - Shifter After - Shifter (Can't Save Everything, Plastic Was Just Messed) Before - Arm Rest Before - Radio Before - Hand Brake After - Hand Brake Before - Rear Speaker Deck During - Rear Speaker Deck (mmm...caramel) After - Rear Speaker Deck Before - Door Pillars (Assorted) After - Door PIllars (Assorted) Before - Clean MF After - Dirty MF 50/50 - MF Towel (My Precious Towel!!!!!) First Pic Is After HALF of Driver Door Panel 50/50 - Headliner (Do I Even Need To Tape Off A Section? LOL. You Can Clearly See The Cleaned Portion) After - Headliner (Can't Save Everything) This car was filthy. Can't believe the owner's drove around in it for so long. I am sure it is a health hazard to be driving around in this thing. But it sucks since I couldn't remove everything in the car. Especially the carpet, it was hammered. It was as if occupants purposely spilled drinks all over it to stain it on purpose. :crasy: Ay Crumba. Thanks for looking guys.
What happened with the headliner... That truly is an amazing turn around, great job! What did you use to clean the headliner?
To me it looks like, someone put a porter potty in the car and then put 2 kg of dynamite and this was the by product
I hope you used gloves and a hazmat mask. That's sad that someone would let there interior get that filthy.:crasy:
That is seriously disgusting. I hope you charged them an arm and a leg for that. Nonetheless fantastic job!
That's awful. What the hell did that owner do to the poor car? My friend and I smoke in her car all the time and it doesn't look near that bad. Great turnaround though, you deserve some sort of award.
thank you for the comments guys! i used APC, sprayed on lightly and wiped off...had to scrub some spots, couldn't get the headliner too wet
Holy hell, the shot with the apc running down the pillar, I just imagine the smell of stale tobacco. It looks like someone dipped and then spit it out onto the pillar.
You did great work but when a car has been trashed and neglected for so long there's only so much you can do!
That was so gross, I almost puked... True that...have you seen Jackass 3D? This vehicle kinda reminds me of porter potty scene...
Holy Cow ! That car is a direct violation of the Pure Food and Drug Act !!!!!!!!! I dont ever want to know or see what their living conditions are where they live. That is just nasty dirty! You did an incredible, awesome, job here of removing tons of - well it has be - filth - and giving them back a very clean car!!! Kudos to you, man ! Thanks for hanging in there and helping to Clean Up America !!!! Dan F
there was caramel coloured substance on every vinyl/plastic surface...call me crazy but it's sometimes good to get a car like this, it really tests the products and your detailing methods...=) true dat, right on. thank you Tim and Dom for viewing the thread and commenting. i'm not sure, the female driver bought it second hand and never cleaned it. they are not the type of person to do their homework when buying a car. more of a carefree lifestyle (car gets me from A to B and thats it), but the reason i cleaned the car was b/c her sister in law paid for it! i don't know the history of the car, but i would like to know who owned the car before...haha lol...this is a very funny and humorous reply. thank you Dan.
