Good Afternoon gents :waxing: ,

Customer, a member of autopia, dropped the SUV off Friday night. I gave it a quick foam and wash under the halogens while the sun was setting and finished the car the next morning. I have no before pictures but, the owner says he hasn't touched it since he's owned the car. Overall the paint was in good condition pertaining to swirling, but marring and contaminants were high.

Extreme shine on tires.
Interior process:

Interior dash dressed w/ nxt vinyl protectant.
Leather conditioned with Gold Class.

Befores:
This is where I stepped my game up. I wasn't happy with the way the jambs looked on the rear hatch. They were filled up with a thick black stuck on material. I took a special solution and small detailing brush and cleaned the areas and hinges There was some remnants from this sitting for years, which was expected. Doing this took and extra hour but the customer was impressed :woot:.
