Its Christmas eve, food , celebrations & holiday around....many turkey will be sacrifices as well
but also a sad time as to say good bye, one of my church friend is going back to Australia with her whole family, henceforth their 5 years old family ride need to be disposed ! Do u do steam cleaning for cushion and at the same time they wanted the ride to look pristine & show room condition!!!
Over all looking great for a 5 Years old car - original paint & parts

She called me weeks ago, telling me the dates they are leaving & the dead line to clear their stuff & the sells off their ride but there is seems to have some stains here & there.
"KC can u do steam cleaning!!!" some stain on the seats -probably by our boys
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_LW0SC8XIpiA/TRN3VbfyolI/AAAAAAAAAXw/_Ox_Ra7utNk/s800/IMG_4754.JPG
All she ask was for seats steaming but ended up ....another treacherous adventure
This wonderful couple`s has help me & my family alot through - our 4 years of friendships, they will be leaving in 6 days time
I did it free for them as a token of our family & friendship!!
My week - Chronology
SUN - detail a coupe 330i
TUES (public holiday) another full correction In & Ext (E46 coupe) 11 hours
wed & thurs travelling to South for a tournament, hardly could even lift my arm for a game of golf
Fri back to office
Sat did the 911 porsche - carrera another 11 hours
SUN - when i am about to call it a quit but I remember my promised –If i would have - I wouldn’t have written this thread, I was a bit groggy after church & took a ½ nap & Left only 3 ½ hours to complete this "cushion Steaming" ended up a semi or full correction details –
How I wish: If only I have 25 hours to complete this detail, to be fully obsessed & possess in detailing but I am only good in doing few hours detailing job & a few minutes weekly maintenance. So let me take the pleasure in sharing with you:-
