    Soldiers wife contacted me about her Husbands jeep and wanting it detailed for when he gets home. Now where I come from, women worry about interior and men exterior. So initially she was more concerned about getting the interior done, which it was real dusty as she had been driving it around with out the top.

    But I talked her into my full detail which includes interior, but also clay, paint cleaner and sealant along with engine detail. And needless to say she was overly impressed!

    Pre-soak with Zep citrus and agitated with various brushes. The spray and dried with compressed air. Dressed w/mix of Meg HD and White Pearl.
