You guys do wonders! I just dont understand why people don't use your service if your local or any detailers when selling a car. I remember a buddy who was selling his e60 and had tons of interest but overall the paint was looking dull ( black paint). Took it to a detailer paid about 300.00 and I kid you not it looked like a different car. It sold the next day.
