How the hell does it get that bad.
Yeah kids blah blah. Take care of your fucking automotive conveyance.
Is there not an hour in which the van can get a once over once a week?
Before it turns into this.
As a technician, if I had any seniority I would be passing this off to a newbie. And if it were my shop, it would be rolled out the door and left there for the customer to tow elsewhere.
Sick.

Nothing irritates me more than that. I always figure their house looks like that. Then again (as much as I find this line of logic unfathomable) to many it is just a car and it's only purpose is to drag their asses around town.

I've found that the way a person treats and cleans their car is analogous to how they treat everything else in their lives. Their home, friends, family and so forth.

That's absolutely disgusting. Growing up with 2 older brothers, my mom's SUV was still fairly clean. She'd make us scrub it if we made a mess... That said, there's blood all over the inside right now.

Once saw a car with mold growing in the rear cupholders. The white, fuzzy kind.

I'm lucky I haven't got anything close to this at the detailer I'm working at. whew. I mostly get food crumbs out of tight spaces, and the moms apparently love the Edge, and those are ALWAYS full of food scraps everywhere.

Coming form a household that keeps their cars relatively clean, seeing this makes me feel bad for the person. If their car looks this shitty inside, imagine their house, or even worse their lovelife!

We had a Caravan come through that looked exactly the same. Ice cream and fast food all over. I think if I was the service manager I would of told customer to come pick up their van.

There is a guy (pictures and quotes from 'beko1987' on DetailingWorld.co.uk) on a detailing forum I'm on who was asked by his girlfriend if he could clean the inside of her friend's car. The pictures are his from the forum and show just how bad it was and after he'd done most but had to come back to finish it off to his liking.
"The owners 10 month old daughter has had a bad cough for a few months, and no one knew why. Bear that in mind..."
Under the rear seats.
Floor under front seats.
What it was like and after he'd started on the drivers side.
"The child's cough has subsided significantly, so has the one I got from doing it!".
There is no reason a car should get this bad, kids or not. When it starts affecting the health of the children you know something needs doing but it shouldn't have to get anywhere near that far. Merely a carrier bag (grocery shopping bag) for waste packets and bottles and a weekly vacuum which would take all of 15 minutes if that if done regular to keep in some semblance of tidyness. Its ridiculous that after a house and raising a child, a car is in the top three of the most expensive things an average person will ever buy get most people have no concept of cleanliness of the interior or exterior or how to maintain a car. These are the people I refuse to clean their car for. If they have no pride in their car, then why should I give up me time to do it for them.

Wow, hats off to that detailer. I think that car is one of the few cases where I'd consider it a write-off, and just torch the thing. And if you'd've seen some of my projects, you'd know that never happens.

Oh, man. When I was younger my best friend's mom drove a first-gen green Mercury Villager and the interior was just as shitty as the one in the picture. Sticky, full of junk, torn fabric, all that nonsense. Plus the rear speakers were blown out so whatever music we listened to sounded awful.
The mom was and is a super sweet lady, but dear God was her car in terrible shape.

To be honest many of us would relish a chance to do a clean like this. After doing a few cars with just a little traffic film and general debris its nice to get your teeth into something that shows why its all worth it. Nothing better than spending a couple or a few days cleaning a car that is so far to the wall its not worth it to clean, to bring it back to its former glory and make it look like it had been pampered all its like.

They had kids, they already dropped their priorities for any sort of love life.

I worked for a huge dealership in the detail department and I would look forward to used trade-ins. You could actually see results and feel accomplished. People thought is was strange, but the dirtier the cars, the more I enjoyed working on them. If they weren't used cars, or higher-ups cars, we'd be prepping cars that were just sold. It was horrible. Brand new BMWs, but you still would have to spend 30 mins on it doing barely nothing.

I had a 'pet car', took two weeks, a couple of hours or so a day awesome feeling to see the difference afterwards. It was a black Citroen XM estate.

It was the bosses 'quick turnaround', it was in such a state I said I would sort it out on my spare time and wouldn't let it get in the way of my work. It belonged to a farmer who used to let his sheep dogs have free rain of the car and on cold days rather than fire up the tractor he would put a bale of hay in the back and use the car to take it down into the field. Poor car, but they are made to be used.
