    This in one of the most neglected vehicles I’ve worked on. It’s hard to believe that its
    only 2 years old. I gently chastised client that he needs to take better care of his car.

    Brake dust baked onto wheels requiring acid cleaning and it still couldn’t remove all of it.

    The brake dust was baked on. I had to use acid and elbow grease to remove what I could. I probably could have gotten it all off but I only had 1 day to get this detail done.
