That said, since having my daughter it has slowly accumulated more and more JUNK. And crumbs. But NOTHING compared to that photo you shared! I am itching to get out there and clean it out, but it's just been too hot lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243703 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:39:33 +0000 mediagirl 2243703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: mine is a disaster This weekend we are going to wash the outside, clean the upholstry inside and vacuum. It needs it badly. Maybe I'll take a picture. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243699 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:34:23 +0000 Anagram 2243699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm working during the school year, I commute 2 hours each way and then I have to get home and walk up a flight of stairs holding LO, her daycare bag, my work bag, etc....so then, the car can get pretty messy because I can't hold other random items (art projects from daycare, etc), so they pile up in the car.</p> <p>But right now, in summer---both of our cars are spotless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243683 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:18:26 +0000 cat620 2243683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My car is a little messy with kid toys and some food crumbs (I often give DS snacks in the car), but it looks nowhere near as bad as that pic. I clean it out at least once a week, so nothing gets caked on for weeks at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243650 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:45:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 2243650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that bad at all! I wipe it out and clean it out every time I get gas. It could use a detail though (especially around DD1 seat) but all I can say is YUCK on your picture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243643 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:41:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2243643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is clean- I just washed and vacuumed it yesterday!</p> <p>However I would love to get it detailed! All the nooks and crannies have crap in them and the floor boards could use a good scrub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243642 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:40:14 +0000 Alivoo01 2243642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's pretty clean (I think). It could use a light dusting since there's some crumbs from DS eating in his car seat and a few milk spots on the seat next to him, and the floors mats could be shaken out/vacuumed, but otherwise, it's not bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243631 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:31:20 +0000 anonysquire 2243631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's crazy how many messy cars I've seen then haha. Maybe it's a utah thing. Mine isn't this bad either and I know growing up there wasn't a single thing in my parents cars. So weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243289 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:16:59 +0000 Truth Bombs 2243289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: I agree. My car is no where near this dirty but I still always give it a once over before bringing it to be detailed. I don't expect them to throw out my trash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243278 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:54:08 +0000 Synchronicity 2243278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My suv is almost spotless, but it's brand spanking new and I make sure that the kids I tote around don't turn it into a disaster zone, so it's only dog hair that I really have to contend with :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243268 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:36:34 +0000 rachiecakes 2243268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got sun hats and coloring books on the seats but it's pretty clean.</p> <p>There's a stain on the back seat from where a catering tray dripped oil at Thanksgiving. It's been cleaned but still stained, maybe I should get it detailed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243266 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:35:39 +0000 matador84 2243266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that is super nasty! I don't think I would even get in that car. Mine has kid crap, toys and the occasional pouch or goldfish, but I use the DustBuster daily on it and it's leather so it wipes clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243263 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:27:25 +0000 808love 2243263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be embarrassed to take my car to be detailed looking like that! And my car is the messiest place in my domain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243254 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:17:03 +0000 Keybee 2243254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got some lose papers and articles of clothing in the back, some candy wrappers and water bottles in the front, but other then that it's clean. I detail it every few months myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243251 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:14:02 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2243251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean, I need to vacuum the inside (I have long hair and dogs who shed) and the outside needs a bath (but, hello monsoon!) but my car hasn't looked that bad since I was a teenager. I have no problems giving anyone a ride in my car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243247 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:08:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2243247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your picture helped convinced me to get a steamer! Ours is messy and LO's side needs a cleaning because of her shoes scuffing the seat (backwards facing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243244 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:05:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2243244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's shining like the top of the Chrysler building compared to that filth! Gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243241 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:01:35 +0000 Bao 2243241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Messy but just with kid stuff...that is gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243233 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:43:29 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2243233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has the random crumbs and dust, but it's not really dirty. I'm more embarrased by the crap that collects - work papers, clothes, shoes, I don't know what else but it seems like a lot of other stuff too. </p> <p>I'd be that weird person that cleans up my car a bit before I get it detailed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243224 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:35:55 +0000 chopsuey 2243224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's car is spotless.<br /> Mine is super clean, but there are some toys in between the car seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243222 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:31:26 +0000 honeybear 2243222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cars are close to spotless. We have strict no eating and no drinking anything except water rules. Dirt or sand from our outdoor activities sometimes piles up on the floor mats, but we're pretty good about cleaning them out routinely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243214 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:23:16 +0000 Reese 2243214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew is that mold? No! I might have loose papers and dirt/dust but nothing even close to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243210 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:15:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2243210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to take great care of my car and leave it pretty spotless, but ever since DD.... It's not nasty dirty like the picture, it's just stuff and trash all over the place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243209 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:15:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 2243209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would say that my car is a bit messy and chaotic! Not dirty though!</p> <p>Although the back windows are full of dog slobber :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243208 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:14:43 +0000 travellingbee 2243208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Messy but not THAT messy. Just some crumbs and kid stuff around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243207 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:14:13 +0000 MamaG 2243207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My car doesn't look like that! I've got kid crap all over it. Toys, papers from school, etc. Day to day my car smells fine, but if it rains suddenly I have this horrendous odor that clears again when my car dries up. We have no idea what is causing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-current-state-of-your-car#post-2243188 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 15:52:15 +0000 anonysquire 2243188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of people live in their cars (me!!), but what does your car look like right now? I'm curious! Could you give a friend a ride this second without being embarassed?</p> <p>I started a little detailing business and 90% of the cars I get are in rough shape. I'm trying to figure out if it's normal, or if only people with messy cars go get details? </p> [attach=1857/15/nrwpz3.600x600.IMG_20150623_202706.jpg]
