MOST EXTREME ENGINE TRANSFORMATIONS - this is a true story of how one from Rag to Richness, ever told by Detailien

My buddy drove down 500 KM from upnorth state of PERLIS to ask me to detail his ride -

A date set & all necessarily arrangement for this full correction

a good mileage for a good reliable ride

Many would have avoided this section of the ride -
too much hassle & too little satisfaction

Back ground
No - high pressure jet - only a few pairs of brushes & hands

But as for me.....I had a little help from my apprentice - my youth from a children home - who love detailing & we did it together

Enginebrite wont get results like that!

spray, scrub, wipe- piece by piece. Outstanding work.
