MB S320 full detail

Our next door neighbour (wife) came over one day to ask me to detail the husband's car while they were going to be away on vacation. This was his Bday gift from her.

I did the detail over 2 days. Spent 6 hours on day 1 and 7 hours on day 2.

Interior Process:

vacuum
apc mix to clean
steam
NL to protect

Before

Re: MB S320 full detail

I did the car last sunday/monday and the husband was very pleased. He thought I washed his shirts. LOL. I am not that far gone!!

I just folded those shirts because they were clean. He just didn't know that.
