Thread: How to clean a car of rotting flesh and blood.

On my recent trip to Bathurst and back to Darwin, I ended up passing through Longreach during night hours. Anyone who has been through this area during the night will understand the number of roos there are out there.

I didn't hit any roos but the slaughter on the road was simply unavoidable. even if I had driver off the road, the road side was also littered with carcasses.

So I was lucky it started to rain by about Mataranka on the way home and I went through some pretty decent down pours.

Unfortunatly it mustn't have been enough to clean of the blood and bone from under the car because the stink from the shed is enought to make a person heave and the flies have started to come into the house.

I removed a couple of dead birds from the grill and sprayed the whole front end with carwash and went for a drive in the rain. Apart from a few grass hoppers, it looks pretty clean, I just can't work out what stinks.

This is my Skoda Yeti, not the Disco.

It's in for a service on Tuesday so if there is an animal wedged underneigth somewhere I guess it will be found then but I don't really want to take it to the Mech smelling like it does.

I hope I have painted a good enough picture for you guys.

Happy Days

I like this idea. I was going to rotate the wheels after the service but the Mech might appreciate it if I do it before hand a clean the wheel arches while I'm at it.

I have the service manual and am very confident in checking everything myself but I need the book signed my a licensed mech for warranty (oh and the hoist is handy). I have some good guys at a garage up here that let me in to help them with them service so if any piece of meat or dead animal gets missed, it will be as much my fault as mine.

Happy Days.
