Dog Poo Car Transformation

**EXCLUSIVE**

A SHOCKING VIDEO shows the incredible transformation of a car littered with dog poo, hair, and nail clippings.

Aaron Wilton-Jones (29) originally from New Zealand and now living in Wollongong, Australia, charged the customer just AU $357 for the stinky job which took four hours to complete.

No task is too extreme, as seen in the video where he washes thick dog poo stains out of the Hyundai’s upholstery despite the smell making him gag.

He uses specialist detergents, steaming and vacuuming equipment to dissolve and suck away the dried dog poo which has left brown stains all over the front and rear seats of the car.

Amazingly, the car looked almost brand new by the time it had been dried and polished – with the faintest of brown stains still in the driver’s seat.

Not only that, but Aaron managed to get rid of the smell with an odour neutraliser too.

Aaron said his mission is to help people, not judge them, and he felt satisfied upon completing the job and seeing the dramatic difference.

“So the owner of this car called me up and said their dog had an accident in the car and they’ve been too busy to clean it,” Aaron said.

“Apparently the dog had diarrhoea and couldn’t make it outside but, man, when I saw this car I was shocked.

“I’ve had some pretty bad cars in my time but this one takes the cake.

“I was reluctant to take the job but then I realised this is a serious situation and the owner is not in a good state of mind so I put on my gloves and got to work.”

Aaron began his car detailing business after losing his job as a skydiving instructor during the coronavirus pandemic.

Because he was classed as an “essential worker” as a cleaner, he was able to work during lockdowns and quickly built up a solid reputation.

Now his videos have millions of views and he has encouraged other people to start their own caer detailing businesses, with the dream of setting up a supportive community.

Sadly, Aaron briefly gave up his business because his dad became very ill and needed him to leave Australia to take care of him in New Zealand.

After his father passed away last year, Aaron was depressed and considered never returning to his business.

“I had to fly back to New Zealand because my dad was dying of cancer, and had to shut the business down completely,” he said.

“And then he actually sadly passed away. This was 2022.

“So just over a year ago now, and then I came back to Australia, I was kind of like a little bit lost again.

“A bit unmotivated, a little bit depressed for a while, but I started listening to some podcast, and just realised that I had a whole bunch of like video content on my phone from some of the cars that I've been detailing.

“And I wanted to start posting videos and build a business again.

“I was not expecting a result but people just ended up really liking the videos I was posting and I started building a following.

“After like six months, I posted one video and it got 22 million views.”

The video of the dog poo car was watched more than 6 million times and Aaron’s followers said it was so satisfying to watch.

Some people have even claimed his videos help them fall asleep.

One viewer said: “It would have been so hard for them to ask for your services. You did a great job!”’

A second commented: “Some jobs you’d really rather not take until you realise the client is saying ‘Please help me.’”

“Good on you for doing it and charging through the roof,” said another viewer.

Despite the “grossness” of the car, it was actually not the dirtiest one Aaron has dealt with and he said it’s common to have to deal with vomit and bodily fluids.

“I get a lot of cars. I can't really be like judgy,” he said.

“I have to make them feel comfortable, in a way. You kind of just have to make them feel it's okay, that you can do it.”
