Ouch!

I'd read a similar story on A detailing forum about a Proton Satria Gti that the owner had left in an underground carpark for a few months while they went overseas. Came back to a similar sight.

Apparently it was due to long term exposure of a damp underground environment. Without any sunlight, the car became a became a breeding ground.

The detailer used a product called "Rip Off" to get rid of it

ZAS also have a product that may work, which is a Ph neutral anti bacterial interior cleaner: http://www.zas.com.au/product/367/fi...ner_946ml.html

Good luck!

First thing i would do is give it some sunlight and heat from sun.

That will help get rid of some mould...then use a product from ZAS afterwards.

Happy Motoring

The Finish Kare product that was suggested is what you need, but you also need professional equipment to use it with in this case.

Hands down, the best thing to do, is pay someone else to do it! They'll have it cleaned up in no time.

Lol yep, definitely one of the few things to do with car detailing that I would HAPPILY pay someone else to do

Wow
I thought I had problems with paint protection.
I agree with the advice to get the car into a dry sunny environemnt ASAP.
QUiclk action is necessary wahtever method yopu decide to use.
Mould eats into the surface if left.

That looks like a nightmare!! Unfortunately i dont think theres a silver bullet in this case.. Take out the seats, carpet door trims.. Its much easier to clean outside the car.. With the carpet, use some of those products/washing powder then scrub with a broom and hose it down with high pressure and leave it in the sun to dry.. Then before you put it back in the car, clean the dash and anything else.... Whats the boot like? If its the same, id be stripping it and giving that carpet the same treatment too.. If the seats are really bad you could take the fabric off them to clean if you want. Its held on with little round metal clips normally. Its not easy to get off and even harder to get back on... Depends how thorough you want to be i guess.
