This car was already detailed by someone twice, and unable to remove dog's hair to a descent amount. Did a lot of shortcuts and places under the seats were not cleaned.
This case is very familiar with some detailing places, the problem is time. Some will concentrate in production instead of quality. Specially the cheap places as they need to gain their $$$ by using so-so products and cheap labour.
So the client contacted me since the car still had a pet smell and hair everywere. Upon the inspection the smell was very present and dog's hair in the carpet. So a full detail was scheduled orinigally one day but took two days due to rain. This process took a total of 12 hours but this was necessary to do a real job. Tan interior is the most picky color to work with but with patience and experience great results can be achieved.

First day I started with the interior, right away took pics of the places ignored by previous detailer, seats were moved front and back, back seats were moved down to find many surprises there, spare tire wasn't vacuumed.
After 4 hours of work
