    Trashed Volvo S90...lots of pictures

    Hey guys, My name is John and I own Radiant Appearance, a detailing business in Clinton, CT. I have been a member on here for a while now and love reading you posts. You guys do some amazing work. I figured I should finally post up some work that I do to contribute to this site!

    This Volvo s90 was dropped off for an interior detail and and exterior detail. The car has been sitting outside for the last 2 years with the passenger side window down! That includes CTs large snow storms and crazy weather the past 2 years also! The customer was more concerned with the inside due to the mice that moved in and the mold. They attempted to get rid of the mice using mothballs so that made for a wonderful smell as well!
    Due to the exteriors condition I explained to the customer even though they are not looking for a perfect finish we should at least polish it to remove 80% of the defects.

    Thanks for viewing!

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

    thanks...getting around to taking pictures while trying to get the cars done during the day can be difficult but with internet setup at the shop along with the camera now it should make it easier to post up some work!

    Gee, if you had waited one more week your first post would have been on the 4th anniversary of your sign up date here on MOL (12/20/07)! But no matter, we're just glad to see you posting, and what a post at that! So this was accomplished with just a wash, clay and M205?? Amazing.

    Can I say Holy Moly? You had me at Mice and Mold, lol. That car was a mess. What was your procedure for the interior? That must have been fun.
