Well I had the same guy come back and do the interior today. He's done a great job, cleaned and treated all the leather etc, it looks great. I just need to change the stereo now for something more aesthetically pleasing,

Its always hard to detail a car that is THAT clean to start with...... he done good though and gave the paint alot more of a deep shine.

What wax/sealant did he use???
