jessica alba's car. not really, but man this girl looks just like her. gotta love 100% columbians. she had an 03 jetta. not in the worst shape, but it definitely needed a good cleaning.

at first, i didn't realize how dirty the seats were. then i rubbed them a bit and it turns out they were gray, not black...

i should have taken some engine bay shots. i didn't detail it all that much, but removing all the grime and cleaning off dirt and dust sure does wonders. if she were going to put her car in waterfest it would have passed with flying colors the way they judge. we'll leave it at that.
5 hours later my fingers, arms, and back are a little tender. the interior is what she paid me for because of time constraints so that's what i concentrated on. i couldn't hand her a dirty exterior though so i washed the outside and cleaned up the wheels (brake dust was eating through the finish). and even though it wasn't my car, it felt good detailing a car again. can't wait to do it to my own soon enough.

what day would be complete without the sentra though? i removed the rear tint, found my old europlate, threw on a DW license plate frame and installed my clear corners the other day.

if i had some i would have posted them.

 

nice work bud.

 

i was honestly surprised they came out as well they did without using some special leather stuff. a barely damp rag of soap/water and some leather cleaner after i cleaned them was it.

 

nice
