Subject: 2013 Audi S4
Requirements: New Car Prep with Opti Coat 2

Customer dropped me an email about a month or 2 ago about his 2013 Audi S4. He asked me about or new car prep services and opti coat. The customer called me 12 hours of delivery of his new car to make sure it was properly prepped and protected before he starts to put the miles on it.

I need to pick a few things up from you guys! This is a relatively simple, and very nice detail.

For blowing water out of difficult spots to get MF towels into (i.e. brake light area), is there a particular power leaf blower you guys have found to work best?

yup a very simple job that dealers seem to always mess up
