Very beautiful results! If I may ask, what's the "Secret Prewash Soak"? I won't take any offense if you want to keep this secret/proprietary.

Wow, I just don't understand how people can live with that much junk in their car. There is very rarely ANYTHING in my car except for maybe my iPod and a bottle of water.
I see you are quite a fan of vacuum stripes, huh? Haha.

It is her favorite car and I have to admit, for long road trips its hard to beat. I now use it to go snowboarding as well, and its great in the snow and much quieter and faster than my lifted Jeep I use to drive. Quote:

! I love Audi's. This A8 is a bit out-dated as far as looks, but everything else is perfect. I love the motor, the tranny, the seats, the ride, and the comfort features. I am surprised that soo many people but 7series over A8's. If I was in the market for a big sedan I would for sure buy a S8 and call it a day. Quote:
! The CG Citrus Wheel Cleaner is.....well......not too bad. I keep making it stronger and stronger than the recommended 1:7 dilution ratio CG says to use it at. For the price it is a good product, but next time around I am going to drop the money and buy the 5 liter of P21s Wheel Gel because it is by far the best wheel cleaner I have used.

Wow. I gave my wife's Lexus a nice detail for MD. It took me a long time, but compared to yours, I might as well hosed it off with the garden hose. I hope your Mom enjoys her new car.

WOW! Great job Jared as usual. I like the way you used the fotos to demo what you were using, you could start your own detailing "how-to" forum. What we need on this forum is more how to foto's and the products that were used.

! I am sure you did a great job on your wifes car and I am sure she loved it! My mother loved it as well and thinks she might keep the A8 for a bit longer than expected.Quote:
! When I have the time like I did on this detail I will be sure to make a similar post. Everyone seems to want to see all of the products and the steps.Quote:

Do you mean "She is lucky to have me detail her car?" It was a mothers day gift for my mother.
