    Looks great! That detail should easily make that car a quicker (and higher priced) sale!

    Nice work cleaning this thing up. I always find that polishing out the lights make the biggest difference.

    Sure did, neighbor came over and was inquiring about the car and the first thing he said was I am surprised the headlights aren't fogged up for a 10yr old car.

    Thanx, owner was happy.

    Looks great for a quick clean! I've always loved these cars. Feel like I should make one into a gangstermobile or something.

    Thank you, I say quick bc I used and AIO and skipped the normal multi-step process, on the interior I used mostly VLR and spot cleaned with APC+.
