what made this even better was the owner had a covered pad in back to do the work in. it wasnt a hot day, but with a black car, it kept it cool and spot free. i read somewhere...
his ride was in desperate need of a wash. i have more pics, but like they say 1000 words. besides it was just my basic xpress wash package as stated earlier.
