So this guy's Audi needs a small detail job...
 
"First I want to thank DJ Mayo, David Fermani, and Barry Theal for their ideas and thoughts on this detail.

I got an email from the owner and said his Audi had some mold. I have done some light mold work before and wasn't too worried about it I decided to go check out the car to put together a more exact estimate. This Audi had a leak coming from the firewall, causing the drivers side floor to be soaked. It was put away in a garage for about 4 months or so for the winter.
So what does 4 months of wet car interior look like..."

Quite a famous car. There is also another one of what I believe is to be an E30 325i convertible which suffered the same fate.

Bio-hazard much? :lol

Just imagine all the mold INSIDE the vents and cracks of the interior...

gloors 04-09-2011 05:44 PM

Holy shit... Wouldn't the mold be inside the door panels too n shit like that?

jpark 04-09-2011 05:44 PM

apparantly the detailer charged less than $1500? jesus.

AVS_Racing 04-09-2011 08:36 PM

damn wtf

LOL at the bottle of hand sanitizer attached to the shifter.... What upsetting is the car will probably be sold to some unsuspecting buyer who will likely contract some sort of illness from the remaining mold spores.

oh god. kill it with fire!

2002 Audi AllMold for sale.

I would have probably pushed that thing off a cliff or set it on fire. Nobody should ever have to sit in a previously mold infested car, especially if it hasn't been cleaned properly. By not removing the panels or the upholstery/leather mold could still be lurking and will probably end up getting the next owner sick.

Lets hope the owner isn't listing this thing on Craigslist as we speak.

Detailer's profile says northern NJ.

Will insurance cover that kind of damage?
