Thanks for looking​

 

Great work Jason - I really love these babies.

How do you like the 1Z vent cleaner?

 

sweet job Jason. How did you like the 1Z einszett Klima-Cleaner - A/C Odor + Bacteria Cleaner?

was thinking of ordering some . . . . . how much of the bottle did you use?

Car came out stunning as usual.

 

Fantastic!

Nothing like a freshly polished black car!!!!

 

Thanks Marc.. You and me both curent day Detroit muscle!

I love the Klima, I have been offering for a couple seasons now and customers love it so much the now ask for it... Changing the cabin filter is also recomended.

Thanks man....

I love the stuff... I use an entire can per vehicle

Thank you sir!

 

:worship2: Amazing work, Jason.


I split a can of the kilma on my mini cooper and my bmw x5 and couldn't of expected better results. I spoke to a 1Z rep that said you can use one can on mulitple cars if you choose to. I used it on two and the outcome is night and day compared to before applying kilma. Fresh, crisp, non stinky air. I recommend!

 

does everyone change the cabin filters after? i would imagine that a lot of funk ends up in there? in re to 1z Klima

looks great jason

 

Incredible job Jason...

 

Car looks stunnning also love this car, gotta love a family wagon with some heart!

 

Thanks Impakt... Glad to see someone else using/benefiting from the 1z Klima!

I have heard of others using one can of the Klima for more than 1 vehicle. Being that this is an upcharge item that I command a decent price for I like to use the entire can on customers vehicles

Jedidiah.. What's up buddy?

IMO to do the process properly the cabin filter should be changed because, like you stated the filter is also a source of much of the odor

As always thanks for the kind words Pat!

Thanks Z... I agree, a family hauler with some ooomph! Gotta love it!

 

I never noticed the caddy had a 6 bolt wheel / hub

 

beautiful work, Jason! You can really capture those beauty shots!!!
