Hey Guys, I'm new here on Autopia but I have been detailing for a few years now. I am 16 and fully licensed and insured, working out of suburban Detroit. I got a call from my regular client asking if he could get his daily driver a maintenance detail. This car is a 2008 and has covered about 14K miles. The interior unfortunately has a caramel color that I don't like to much because it looks dirty all the time. I only had about 6 hours for this detail because i had about 4 details that weekend. Even with a clay-bar once over and a good coat of Adam's butter wax, it looked great when it was done. I dont have many After Pictures like of the trunk, sorry about that in advance.
Enjoy!!!
