I just moved to the San Antonio area and am rebuilding my business here. So right now I will take any detail or ding work I can get. That said. The folowing photos are of a volvo that has over 150000 mils on it. It looked like it was washed maby two times.

I started with the interior first it was standard work just very dirty. There was a little chewing gum and an xtrx set of mats. Did the hard surfaces first followed with alot of extracting. This took all of 3hrs.

The exterior was a wash followed by alot of claying. I polished two times both with Tri-Cut.Lite cut pad & final polish Pad.
After I used Vanilla Mouse to help clean the paint followed by a coat of GS-1 paint sealant with the DA.

The following are the final product. The inside came out great. Outside was not what I wanted. It looks great but I probably could have used a wool pad first to remove a few more scratches
The customer got well more than he paid for and was very very happy.

You can still see some scratches in the hood but these were deep deep.

Ron, that what kind of vehicles I have here in NC. There is a limit to what you can do with a beater. Your work looks very professional and very clean.
Good job man.

Nice work, I love a good before and after. Good luck with rebuilding your business. You sound like you will have no problem if you continue to over deliver.
