I've seen those pics before on another forum... simply stunning results!

how much does a detail like that cost? (seems well worth it)

Start to finish, that entire cleaning (interior and exterior) only took 1 guy 6-1/2 hours!!!

Even at $100 per, that's still an amazing bargain for the results....


Given that the original post was 4 years ago, it's very likely that this car belongs to someone else now. I wonder how they'd feel seeing the "before" photos???

+1 for Autopia! I learned so much from those forums through the years and learned how to do all my detailing myself and do it right.

To the owner of that car, they shouldn't be allowed in any decent car. Those before pics were horrific! When I saw the engine bay, I felt so bad for that car. I'm sure the next owner will be in for a horrible time with the car. If they let the car get that bad, you know they most likely did nothing for proper maintenance.

At first when i saw the outside pics, i was like, what's the big deal, mine's been dirtier before. Then i saw the rest. Wow, that interior was trashed. The detailer did a great job.

I really hate to see these cars neglected like this. But I'm glad that she got the attention that she deserved....finally.

e63 p30 estate
the outside is just a car that's daily driven on an unpaved road. but gdamn, that inside... I mean, I know my dog f'd up the back of my old wagon, but we laid rubber covers, etc. why'd they let a suburban dog trample leather like that.. bonkers.
