This was my detail from Saturday. A friend of mine wanted to have his 2004 Mercury Mountaineer detailed inside and out. I went up to his shop and did the detail there.
The interior plastics and leather were pretty dirty and the interior needed an overall thorough cleaning.

The interior plastics and leather were pretty dirty and the interior needed an overall thorough cleaning.
