Eventually I am going to run out of catchy titles lol... anyways....

Worked on this Focus today that was in pretty bad shape. Seems to stay outside a lot and is driven very often. Hood and front bumper was repainted at one time and lets just say...I have seen better work from Maaco. Customer again just wanted a wash, clay, 1-step and waxed to bring some condition back to the exterior.

Before:

I spy some heavy fading and start to oxidation...

After washing and claying here's what most of the panels looked like...

Once I pulled the car into the garage here is what the hood looked like...

What do you want to see for interior jobs? I can do everything from full reconditioning interiors to shampooing carpets. I am just not one for posting a interior shot unless and interior is just that bad... which if you want someones recomendation 91Lube, I cleaned up enough pet hair out of his car to make a medium sized dog.
