You do it by simply googling car sales 😂

[@xVansTV]

The one doing the job, deserves the money. When you clean and boost the selling process you are just making the sell faster and may be a couple bucks which will never pay your working time. Larry is cleaning (doing his main job basically ) and finding cars that are way bellow their market value so the profit he makes can actually pay part of his work, but he also is creating content for us and memories for himself. He also will never have a problem with selling a car since he have so much fans and “influence”.

He could've sold it to me instead of leaving it in that crap yard with the guy who neglects cars.

This is one of my favourite Mercedes-Benz models ever! The W140 - with the W124 and W201 - chassis were the last of a dying breed of over-engineered vehicles. This specific model, the S600 V12, was the higher-end of this chassis, so all the best available at that time was through in. I am very glad to see you preserve a unit of this amazing car! I cleaned many times my father's W201, and I remember loving seeing a clean rim - which was pretty much similar to those ones you cleaned. Cheers Larry!

[@jennisonkoshy3151]

I worked at a carwash in 1997 and had a customer with this same car. It was a beast! I loved diving it, even though it was only a few meters at less than 10 mph. The car was immaculate! 😃👍

That’s one of those things that separates pros from armatures out in the field. I used to do mobile detailing and you wouldn’t believe the difference it makes. Especially on big aftermarket wheels where you can see it easily. Customers knew you did your best if you did that. That, and streak free glass and cleaning visor mirrors. Customers noticed and outs you a step above. Like exhaust tips. Hell I can go on and on lol.

Try some meguiar's ultimate compound on a soft cloth and just polish away, it will make a huge difference.
