Interior Flooded Rescued By Muyo: Epic Reconditioning

Good day,

a friend of mine called me up ask me to detail his brother's car. unfortunately i heard a bad news from him, the car interior was fully flooded badly due to heavy rain at Bedok Reservoir Street @ Singapore the only thing his brother can do is use a cup to scoop up the water and dry it with a cloth. however when he deliver the car to me after 2 weeks time when the incident happened, i still find the carpet is wet and the underneath carpet's fiber are full of dirty water (air longkang) and imagine it has been there for 2 weeks? the interior definitely have a strong odor smell which i cant tolerate.

Some news from STOMP - http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/816420/heavy_rain_leads_to_floods_in_eastern_region_of_singapore.html
