As I have been trying to find more ways to get my name and detailing business out, I donated 3 details to a charity auction partly for good will and partly to help word of mouth spread. One winner called, so I had the pleasure of working on this 2007 BMW 750Li last week, giving it an interior and exterior detailing for the owner. The car lives outside for the most part so it had the typical grime caused by the dusty air and the sea spray from the marine layer on the coast. The interior was gorgeous and it was apparent that the owner rarely had people in the rear seats which made for an easy cleanup. I was very happy with how it turned out, and hopefully the good work follows through to a few referrals!
A big thanks goes to my friend Jeff for helping on the wheels (royal PITA, btw!), it was nice having some company!
