Looks good. Can't belive someone could let an rs4 even get in that condition. I guess we all don't love cars as much as others

yeah the car wash bad but the customer drives his car hard and is a hard core car guy.

he just doesn't have the touch to clean it and detail it...I guess that's why there are guys like us out there...

Very impressive..

Im afraid that I'm the same as the owner.. I don't quite have that touch to keep my car looking nice...

I also find it very nice of you guys to actually post the list of products you use to get the results..
Job well done

You look like you're making some serious coin...bite the bullet and buy a used SLR or something. The pictures are far from bad, but a great photo could make your jobs look that much better.
