Detailing

I just picked up my S60 today. Absolutely adore the car, and now I'm thinking about how to beautify and protect it, and I'd love to get your thoughts. My car is on a two year lease, so I don't want go too crazy (saving the splurge for my Model 3 P100L coming in 2018!). So cost-effective...

It has been brought to my attention from other detailers around the country about unauthorized Opti-Coat Pro detailers selling Optimum Gloss-Coat as Opti-Coat Pro. Fooling many customers who aren't educated about this coating line and what to expect from it. After doing some research in my...
