Great work, Phil! Came out beautiful!

 

Great job once again Phil!

 

that's the cleanest xc90 i've ever seen. for whatever reason, those things have a tendency to get TRASHED

 

X2....especially with the way the 2nd row slides its a paint to clean the back row easily! oh and the center cupholder cover is always broken

 

that is clean. six years of neglect washed away.

Whats the deal with that B5 S4 in the background? A future detail write up I hope!

 

the a4 is dan's maybe one day he'll do his car LOL

 

Wow, it looks brand new again guys! Awesome as these get lots of wear and tear shown

 

You don't see many of these getting the royal treatment. It looks showroom fresh now!

 

ah yes, I see the A4 badges in the reflection now
