    Emile Welcome to Detailing

    Very nice work! It never occured to me that there would be ECU upgrades available to get more power out of the bi-turbos.

    looks great! ... don't show the owner the rag you were using on the badge though! did u take it for a quick spin to be sure everything was AOK with the engine detail? j/k ... I am in a "silly" mood today.

    Believe it or not, the rag is clean. The stains don't come out anymore, so I dedicate them to wheel and chrome polishing.
    With the engine detail, I didn't even spray it down with water. I just used Opt. Power Clean, and cleaned with brushes and old rags, and then wiped clean and dressed.
