Its Christmas eve, food , celebrations & holiday around....many turkey will be sacrifices as well
but also a sad time as to say good bye, one of my church friend is going back to Australia with her whole family, henceforth their 5 years old family ride need to be disposed ! Do u do steam cleaning for cushion and at the same time they wanted the ride to look pristine & show room condition!!!
Over all looking great for a 5 Years old car - original paint & parts
She called me weeks ago, telling me the dates they are leaving & the dead line to clear their stuff & the sells off their ride but there is seems to have some stains here & there.
"KC can u do steam cleaning!!!" some stain on the seats -probably by our boys
All she ask was for seats steaming but ended up ....another treacherous adventure
This wonderful couple's has help me & my family alot through - our 4 years of friendships, they will be leaving in 6 days time
I did it free for them as a token of our family & friendship!!

Although the exterior look good - but....but...but
this is what I did - to bring back the ride to its pristine condition:-
engine hood close up
close up stains & dust dirt on the front panel - aged the car
more
Oily stains - on the power steering fluid reservoir tank
dirt stains on PVC
master brake pump before
air filter cover
more dusty & dirty pics
if this is to expose to the buyer - he will take advantage & ask for more discount as it looks abit neglected
