Thanks for another great write-up.
Whenever I see these I get inspired to go a little farther for my detail clients, which is a good thing.
The owner of this car should be punished for allowing a car such as this to come to such a state!

I agree with the above statement. People who use their cars as dumpsters shouldn't be allowed to own something like this. Great job on the emergency cleanup!
