UBELIEVABLE.........Why not own a pick up truck?
So one of my customers who I had not seen in a while asked me to come by and detail his other vehicle. This Audi RS4 which I had never detailed has been used as my customers "Stable" vehicle over the California winter months. It basically has been used to go back and forth to the horse stables and for carrying the riding gear and the dog.
This vehicle was trashed, looks like the stables and this Audi got their share of the wet weather we had this winter. So after spending an exhausting amount of time prepping the vehicle, we had to thoroughly wash it twice... we finally had a very clean vehicle to start detailing.
Here are some before shots.....

David, you're details never cease to amaze me, I love the stories that go along with your project cars. I was looking at those pre-detail shots thinking 'there's no way he's going to get that clean!'.
Can you say that you charged a 'bit' more for this particular job, I mean come'on, you're client didn't even wipe off the paw marks off the rear seat.
I hope you're client saw this, and said out loud "this thing looks fantastic, I think I'll get another vehicle to take to the stable" It would kill me to see it again next spring when he calls you for a repeat in the same, or worse condition. It'd break my heart.
Love the write up dave!

Why thank you very much, I appreciate the good words on my work!
You would of thought so....the owner of this vehicle finally decided to by a Ford F350 as his stable vehicle, thank for the compliment!
