Detailed: 1995 Volvo 850 GLE

Well my first post on this site as a G35 owner as well as a detailer. Hope everyone enjoys the post as much as I enjoyed detailing the vehicle. Here are the peculiars.

This particular detail was last year. I was lucky enough to get a client that wanted his newly acquired but used Volvo 850GLE. The owner thought Turtle wax would suffice in terms of maintaining the car and used sponges to clean the car. You will be able to tell by the pictures his approach was a little short of successful but never the less he did try.

He decided to bring it to me for a full detail. The paint is beautiful we just needed to get rid of the blemishes

I apologize for the dirty hub caps. I had not tackled them yet.

Enjoy !

Jay Diem,

It took about 15-20 hours. I can't quite remember. The paint although single stage still took time to finesse. I did paint touch up and wet sanded quite a few areas.

Thanks for the compliments

4DGS you've been pm'd
