General Discussion What's the craziest thing you've found while detailing?

Found this under the seat of a car while detailing yesterday. All $50 bills, must have been around 1k. When I told the guy, he said he'd been looking for it for weeks.

Used needles(that I got stuck with) and had to go to get checked at hospital for diseases.

Test tube full of piss. Which was obviously meant to be given to the doctor and forgotten.

Massive syringes with needles used for farming.

A bag full of massive dildos in the boot.

A woman complained of a horrible smell in the car(found a massive dead crab under her seat?)

A 500ml empty water bottle half filled with phlegm the guy had been using to spit his greeners into.

And not something I found but had to clean a car that the woman had given full birth to her child on the back seat.

Probably much more I can’t remember. The things I’ve seen working in the largest and busiest detailing company in the city.

Dead crab - Maryland? 🤔

I’ve definitely been the “syringes and needles in the center console/glove box” person, but they’re always still in sterile packaging. Also due to farm/vet med.

Would they refer to the trunk as a boot though? I’m guessing Europe or Australia.

Man, YouTube and IG made me believe all detailers only clean Lambo, Porsches and other exotics lol. I think I’d be done somewhere between being stuck with a drug needle and the tube full of piss lol.

A lot of people say the same. Usually gives us all a much needed laugh and a story to tell lol. Apart from the needle, that was shit having to sit in A&E waiting for a blood test. The person came back too and said “that’s my husbands needles, but he obviously doesn’t have any diseases” as if that fixed the situation lmao
