Up for Detail today is a 2010 Ford Escape. The owner of this car admittedly hasn’t taken much care of it since he bought it new in 2010. It’s a family car driven by 4 different people each week (all of which are smokers and parallel park by “sound”). This winter has been very harsh on pretty much every car in Chicago, however, it have been more so hard on this one due to the fact that they clean the snow off of it with a push broom. When this car has been washed in the past, it has been taken to the dealer for free washes and to local “brush” style washes.
Anyways, on to what you come here for.
