2006 Range Rover. Owner is the daughter of a regular customer, was just looking for a thorough interior cleaning and protection for the upcoming winter, such that we get in north Texas. Moderate swirls and contamination but interior was better than expected. Range Rover clear isn't particularly hard so one step really made a nice improvement.

2006 Volkswagen Touareg. Owned by one of my cycling buddies-actually he started off as a customer but since he lives close by and we both road bike, we've also become good friends. Just looking for a basic detail, at some point he will need to have the headlights wet sanded and polished out.

The green picnic bench you see in the background was where we changed a flat on his bike a week before when we did a 50 mile ride on Labor Day. Just so happened his office was right along the route we took.
2005 Honda CRV. Honestly, this was probably the nicest CRV I've ever detailed. Usually they are absolutely trashed. The owner was giving it to his daughter and wanted it cleaned up for her.
While I was working on this CRV, I got a text from a customer whose M6 I coated a month or so ago that said "you are right across the street from me". Small world, didn't know where he lived because he had me take care of his car at his office.

2000 BMW 528. Owner purchased this car from a BMW mechanic, so despite the miles (160k) its in amazing condition mechanically and the owner himself is a hobbyist detailer so overall the car is cosmetically pretty good too given the age and mileage. However, it did have moderate spider swirls and the owner also wanted Opti-Coat Pro to protect the paint.
