    Good afternoon! Client has been a good friend for a few years and wanted their Audi cleaned up. This has been a tremendous turn around!! Client is very busy with job's, young children and living the great adventure. This post will be picture heavy, but so exciting to see the outcome! We, as detailers are not here to put down others for the condition of their vehicles, for I am thankful to have a chance to turn a vehicle around because they are busy with life!! Clean it up, seal it up and send them on the way! See you again for a refresh before the snow flys!!!

    I had to wait for the mail to come with iron x order, so got started on interior. The following are salt stains under drivers seat from shoe/boot run off this winter. Advised client to invest in Weather Tech mats to prevent this next winter,

    Thanks guy's!! I wonder if rolling dirty has advantages sometimes instead of car washes tearing up the finish....hmmm.
