    Dirty Durango

    I do alot of these vehicles as well. I work for a dealer and I full detail all the used vehicles that get traded in. This is pretty much my everyday life untill i get my shop of the ground but its alright because there are plenty of people out here with dirty daily drivers that need detailed!

    How do you detail badges

    What ive done before is take a MF rag and wrap it around a soft bristle tooth brush. Use a little finish polish and use the brush/MF rag combo to get into those hard to reach areas.
