Looks very good, especially the engine bay. I might have to stop by once I get things sorted with my car...

A little bit cold for washing cars though, eh?

Very nice Job. Glad to see you detailing a STi. I need to invest in that polish you used to clean the exhaust.

its cold but I still have the customers coming so I guess I'll still do it if they are coming to me.

Typically I do 2-4 cars a week.
