I don’t even keep anything in my trunk or glovebox in my car other than a few napkins lol. I hate dirty cars
This is the FIRST car my wife has owned that I've been WILLING to take care of (other then the Fiero she owned when we 1st met). The rest of the "family cars" we've had, haven't really been 'detail worthy.' Her last car was a hand-me-down, tan, 2003 Ford Explorer that was rusty as all get out and had a LOT of that plastic trim that loved to collect wax and NEVER let go. Plus it was HUGE, and "dislike" detailing things that big (I DETEST needing to use a ladder to wash/wax a car).
This one is (for an SUV, fairly small) and is a color that really looks good after it's finished - the Explorer was just a light tan (blah). Ladder work on the Escape is minimal and it takes a similar amount of time as it does to detail my Camaro - which I CAN'T WAIT for it to be out of the shop. It NEEDS a full detail like the one I did to the Escape, BAD.
