Our Car Detailing Blog

In my service as a California toll collector, I daily encounter dogs in cars. it seems like every third cars or so there’s some pooch with his head out the window enjoying the ride. Actually these days you see dogs everywhere you go, in office buildings, stores, where ever we go, so goes our furry companions.

I remember my Jack Russell Petey (RIP), he would rush past me every time he heard my keys jingle, in a rush to the door to make sure he didn’t get left home. This became the norm because he had gotten use to riding and somehow felt entitled to being my co-pilot. He trained me to accept this position by chewing up my shoes whenever he was left at home. So Petey was a true rider. He kept me company on long rides. The only down side to having a furry co-pilot was watching any human passengers riding with me pick dog hair from their clothing or constantly brushing it off.

In my 25 plus years providing professional detail services, the single most dreaded and rewarding car to do is the Mommy Car. I know you’re thinking, rewarding and dreaded what an oxymoron. But yes, dreaded because you know you got your work cut out for you, but rewarding because of the gratification you will receive from your customer (and the little passengers) when they see the results. Besides making a living this is an added reward for most detailers.

Mommies are constantly on the go. From taking the kids to school, shopping, running errands, after school activities, play dates, park runs and well you get it, just constantly busy. The car is a pivotal part of all the madness and often takes a beating.
