Silver Volvo S40

I did this couples Accord a couple weeks ago and they wanted thier Vovlo done next. These people are the kind of customers I would love to deal with for the rest of my life. They are extremely nice, very appreciative of the work I put into their cars, keep their cars very clean and always tip! Truth be told, tipping is so unneccesary with them cuz they are so nice. There's not much I wouldn't do for this couple. That being said........here's the detail.

Wash w/ Dawn
Clay with Megs Clay
Polish w/ OP and orange CCS pad
There were a couple spots where I had to use XMT #4 to bring down a couple deeper scratches
KAIO w/white CCS pad
#16 x 2
1 coat of AW the next day
Wheels and wells were done with Megs DG and HD
I actually did the insides of the rims as well. I was going to take the wheels off to do it but found that I could just jack the car up and crawl underneath. Was still quite a bit of work but better than removing the wheels!! They got a coat of DG #105.
Engine - DG and HD also (I didn't post any pics of the engine cuz the lighting sucked!)
Interior was vacuumed and dressed w/HD
Spot cleaning was done wtih Folex

Re: Silver Volvo S40

Car is a little older than mine, but still has some of those stubborn S40 traits. Looks great. Those rims really look amazing with an AIO on them in case you ever do another one again.

Re: Silver Volvo S40

Klasse and Vanilla Moose seem to work best for me on the Volvo Rims.

Looks very nice!

I know you had a jackstand under the car, right?
