IMAGE Auto Detail SLK 230...w/x3

Since it seems to be such a hot topic, I thought I would use the rest of my sample up on the little red Mercedes SLK230. Now I do believe that the system one polish works very well, like anything it does have its downfalls, and price is at the top of my list. Although ait can be a time saver, I will have to way out some options to see if it will be used more often in my shop. Another thing that I dont like is the ability to change products for certain jobs, I like the ability to switch if need be it. But once again it is a great product and if a gallon showed up at my door step, I would gladly use it.

Wash/claysponge( body solvent in a few spots) rinse IF carglow

Awesome Job! ... Quite the turn around ...

How is it that you guys get those perfect strips in the carpets? ... Can this be done with a wet/dry shop vac?

Re: IMAGE Auto Detail SLK 230...w/x3

Why do people buy high end cars and let them degrade to the extent of this example? And after treating the car like a rolling toilet, they bring it to you and ask you to make it like new. Kudos to you for not telling these people off and by the way, you did a great job.

Re: IMAGE Auto Detail SLK 230...w/x3

First off- you do amazing work. Thats just increadible. I am also amazed that people let their cars get that bad. Whoever owns or owned that car is HARD on vehicles-thats for sure. I guess one good thing about people letting their cars get that nasty is the great pictures of the turn arounds you do!
