Well this car needed some attention inside and out.

The owner has it parked out side both at home and work. It would get washed maybe every other month.

Interior needed some attention. My photos are not very good.

A full vac followed by a full wipe down using DP total interior cleaner. Then I topped all the trim and leather with Poor Boy's natural look. Glass cleaned with 2 microfibers 1 clean down and second to polish glass to streak free finish. Tyres where coated with Wolfgang Black Tyre Diamond Gel 3.0

Best part about doing jobs like this is seeing the look on the clients face. He couldn't believe the transformation. Very satisfying

nice work!

i've been looking into getting Scholl a15 for a one step polish. i'm just wondering if it works any better than Menz PF2500.
