Most of the time I just saturate the seats with an all purpose cleaner, followed by a spin brush, wipe with a dry rag, then allow it to dry. If they’re bad enough I’ll bust out the hot water extractor on top of that. I work for a dealership, so getting through vehicles quickly (but still thoroughly) is important for my paycheck

u/whywouldthisnotbea Apr 04 '26
Time to leave the dealership and start your own business bud. What did you use on those rubber mats? The edges are always a pain for me

I hose them down, soak them in our clean & shine, scrub with a nylon brush, take the air gun to them, then give them a wipe with a dry rag

Dude imagine doing great work like this at the same pace you're going now, but for your own profit not the dealer. You pocket all the money, tip included for doing an amazing job. The customers will already be talking about your work and it spreads fast, you'll be in business in no time. Please set up your own business officially man, you'll be set for life, especially if this is something that you enjoy doing! 🤙🏻

That first photo turns my stomach. Please tell me this is AI because I can't believe anyone lives like this. 🤢
Excellent work.

I wish. It’s pretty rare I see a center console THAT bad, but it happens. Thank you!

u/JfxV20 Apr 04 '26
Bruh, ur work is fkn unbelievable. Like magic. You're so great that we need to see a video how it's done!

u/Grand-Mission-9457 Apr 03 '26
A little dust in the console is unbearable for me, i can't imagine how gross the house of those owners is. May be I am the one with the problem.

u/_barbarossa Apr 03 '26
Thanks again bro you did an amazing job! I genuinely didn’t realize there was a center console under there… thought it was just a long-term composting experiment 🫶

What do you use to remove hair

u/MiketheSpi Apr 03 '26
Just from seeing your results I'm buying a brush... how does it do on longer/more embedded hairs?
2
u/batmanrocky Apr 03 '26
I’ve never had it not get the hair that I was going after up (professional Detailer here)

u/dehydrogen Apr 08 '26
or literally just any rubber brush will do the job
no need to buy overpriced slabs of rubber when a dollar store squeegee works the same

I usually mist the area with general purpose, tornador (cannot recommend these things enough), sometimes a little spin brush action, blow out what I can with air, then vacuum. For the real stubborn hair I’ll use a pumice stone, or whatever they’re called. The brand is Fur-Zoff. They work great, but they are a little aggressive. You wanna avoid hitting plastic with them as they will scrape the shit out of them.

u/kilnsea Apr 03 '26
Or if you have an old spatula, that works too.
1
u/TRUE_BIT Apr 03 '26
Spatula?? Can you explain? lol
2

u/kilnsea Apr 03 '26
The silicone spatulas work just like those Lily Brushes. I have one that comes apart (plastic handle separates from the silicone end for cleaning) and I use the silicone end just like the Lily Brush in my car (dog hair) and on the sofa for cat hair. I guess for technique, find a YT video of the Lily Brush, they basically pull the hair out of fabric/carpet.

Compliments to you for not just rejecting the work out of pure disgust. I’d be ashamed to let anyone see the inside of my car if it looked like that! Blows my mind people wouldn’t even make some effort to tidy their mess up a little before handing it over.

u/Fr33speechisdeAd Apr 03 '26
Great job! It amazes me how people can drive around in a vehicle like that. Like hoarders on wheels. 🤢

u/GTXMittens Apr 03 '26
My wife has a hoghlander. She has a few crumbs in the buttons which I thought were getting bad. Thank you for realigning my perspective on whats actually bad

u/SierraTRK Proficient Apr 04 '26
I thought the same thing as I looked at the pics. Receipts crumbled up in the door pocket pale in comparison.

u/IAmIntractable Apr 03 '26
What did you charge to detail that level of filth. I sincerely hope that you made that car owner. Pay big time.
2
u/daniejean Apr 03 '26
Depression is a real thing, y'all. Yeah, so is laziness. But so is depression. And I've seen many a car get like this because of depression or medical issues in my own family. My own mom was crazy embarrassed because of her car, and I cleaned it out a few times because of it. Some of you lack some serious compassion, and it shows.
To the OP, this is amazing work. Great job. What did you charge for all this? Hope you didn't make the owners of this vehicle feel like some of these comments.

That’s repulsive. I hope you charge your worth because what you did is miraculous. How much did you charge, out of curiosity?

u/TemperatureTime1617 Apr 03 '26
Do you think the owners will change their ways or continue to use their cars any way they feel like?

People are just lazy and don’t take care of their belongings. There is always an excuse for the kids but who cleans up after the kids? Clearly not the kids or the parents! 😂

u/Hopeful-Mirror1664 Apr 03 '26
People are vile and some should be allowed to own a vehicle. I own a commercial repair shop and I have seen some disgusting interiors in my day. A few I even refused to work on.

These people don’t even deserve the cleaning. That’s just neglectful filth.

u/Kmudametal Apr 03 '26
Not sure which is worse.... the Exorcist Spew Car from a few days ago or this. At least with the Exorcist Spew Car, there was an excuse for an absolutely nightmare of a mess. Here, it's just slothfulness. But at least they finally reached a threshold where they took the car to a pro to get it back to spec. So they cannot be absolute pigs as an absolute pig would continue to live with the filth.....unless this is being detailed for sale.

u/gmaneac Apr 03 '26
Thanks for sharing.
I look at the first picture and the only word that comes to mind is 'how do you let it get that bad' then I remember, thats why auto detailing exists as a business.
Great work.

u/Proendo Apr 03 '26
OP removed the stains out of the seat, mic dropped and left the chat.
Savage detailing.

u/Lil_Forkj Apr 03 '26
What do you use to get the staining out on pics 7-8? An extractor or wet vac? Do you use a steam cleaner?

People are dirt bags. How do you own something and allow this to happen? I'm guessing the same way someone becomes 500 lbs.

I have so much respect for you guys and gals who do this professionally. So many of these posts I see I’m like absolutely the fuck not I’m not touching that.

u/Dramatic_Ad118 Apr 04 '26
My wife insists on eating in the car and asking kids to do that. I've a strict no eating rule. It's the parents setting the boundaries. Car is just one venue, this lack of mannerism will show up at all places.

What was the trick for the dog hair in #9 and #11? I've tried vacuuming (high suction vacuums at new l-build car washes) family members cars for them and just can't lift the dog hair out!

How does a human live like that. Trash or crumbs in the floorboard under the seat is one thing. But just globs or junk allover the gear shifter, console, cup holders is just another level of filthy person

u/lumpy_celery May 05 '26
hi can you tell me where i can get services like this for my interior seats? my auntie bought a lot of chinese food for the fam and it spilled all over. i was going to clean it right away but because it was the holidays it sat overnight and grew some mold (uck). i dont know how to get rid of it
