Various edgeless microfiber towels

I heard that the car owner really loved her car so the Glass Sealant and a clean up of the plastics in the engine bay was done, and CG Black on Black was applied (sorry no pic!)

Best of all, while detailing i had three individuals come up to me and ask me questions about my services. Out of the 3 i am positive on a modified Escalade sometime this early summer.

Thanks for looking!!!! :buffing:

The wheels are originals. There was some minor corrosion on one of the wheels, and another had about a 3 inch long corrosion/oxidation on the spoke. Both corrosion/oxidation was on the front wheels.

You did all that with ONR?!?! How many towels did you use?

Nope! Diluted ONR for windows, as well as after rinsing the car down i sprayed ONR on the panels before doing a 2 bucket wash with CG Citrus Wash and Gloss. :)
