Interior Flooded Rescued By Muyo: Epic Reconditioning

[muyo]

Good day,

a friend of mine called me up ask me to detail his brother's car. unfortunately i heard a bad news from him, the car interior was fully flooded badly due to heavy rain at Bedok Reservoir Street @ Singapore. the only thing his brother can do is use a cup to scoop up the water and dry it with a cloth. however when he deliver the car to me after 2 weeks time when the incident happened, i still find the carpet is wet and the underneath carpet's fiber are full of dirty water (air longkang) and imagine it has been there for 2 weeks? the interior definitely have a strong odor smell which i cant tolerate.

Some news from STOMP - STOMP - Singapore Seen - Heavy rain leads to floods in eastern region of S'pore



all the way from Singapore

check this out, water beading comes from the carpet

nope, its actually flooded. dirty water aka longkang stain all over the carpet

major surgery begin, using the right tools to take out the seat

tadaa!

after every necessary parts been removed, its time to check out whats inside.



luckily didnt find any fish/frog inside

mini swimming pool?

metal rusted only in 2 weeks!

how to clean?

OPC to clean

50/50

after

move to clean all the console/plastic part

using 1 product to clean all the way, the Optimum Power Clean

turn this

to this

how? just simply dilute OPC to suit your needs and start brushing.

the interior metal parts are also clean and dusted

after the cleaning/drying done, its time to install every parts include the carpet.

Epic job indeed Mun! Keep it up! :)

Nicely done!

I would've sanded down the rusty bits and sprayed it with some protective paint though. My old Kelisa was flooded like that and took me a day to dry it up like you have. I sanded the rusty bits and sprayed it black and it was the pedals that rusted in my case.

I can't believe there was a huge puddle of water after 2 weeks though, the stench must've been horrible! Imagine driving down from Singapore with that smell!

wow remove seats edi. level up~~

 

[Veloc]

I don't know what to say... You even removed the seats and carpets? This is royal level of service already... Take detailing to a whole new level... bravo bravo! I wouldn't have the guts to do this kind of thing for fear that I cannot fit and clip back all the fittings together. CAr's interior assembly can be a b*tch sometimes...

thanks veloc, i actually took some time to learn how to remove it. but its not as hard as you think but for german cars, you need a special tools to remove the cover and seats. i have detail a few golfs, all the screw are specially made, need to get another tools to take off some parts. japan's car is far more easy.. hehe, at least have gain some experience
