Got a call while i was out of town. She said she was selling her Lexus ES 300 and has been for a while. It has been sitting for more than a month so her and her boyfriend decided to get it freshened up to be more appealing to sell. It was a disaster! The car probably has never been clayed and its a 1998 model. So i knew the job was gonna be hard.

The boyfriend came outside while i was working and said i was doing a good job. He asked about his mini cooper and what i could do to make it better, i told him a wash/wax would make the paint (red) richer and really stand out and dressed the exterior plastics and also do an interior detail. He agreed and plans to get in touch with me when he comes back into town from a business trip. :alright

Thanks for looking!
