Nissan Armada

[1kwikf]

Up for detail today is a Nissan Armada. They are getting my silver package with leather. It includes a wash, Decontamination, single step polish, wax and interior wipedown + vacuum and in this cars case Leather cleaning and conditioning. Upon initial inspection, the Armada wasn’t as bad as the cars that Ive been doing lately. It had some oxidation, and swirls from visiting delta sonic (unlimited wash sticker in the window) but all in all, not that bad. Even the interior wasn’t that bad. It was well taken care of and aside from the leather, showed very little dirt.
I did not get a chance to take as many pictures as I normally would. Which was kind of disappointing, but when you’re rushing to do the job right, pictures aren’t the most important thing anyway.
In the end, both myself and the owners were happy with the finished product.

Thank you! This was the largest non-commercial vehicle ive done. It was physically exhausting to finish as quickly as i did. If it had been any dirtier or the paint gave me any problems, i dont think i couldve finished in the quoted time.
