That excuse of "I've been meaning to clean under there..." is ancient, so let me show you how to can get your engine bay looking good in 30 minutes or less.

You should probably fix it on your website then. I clicked the link to contact you and that is what populated in my mail client.

I'll be in Palos Park next month for maybe a week, detailing out of a heated garage. It's about an hour drive, but its a way to get it done before the winter hits
