He spoke about it, but said he wanted to keep it.

It's common to hear, "I want this detailed really good so I can get the most out of it when I sell it."

Then they see the finished product and decide to keep it. I mean, if you let your car get this far gone would you think it could be saved or look this good again? Most people don't know how a proper detail from someone who's willing to take their time(and charge for it) will get their car looking like new again. Too many folks are used to the $85 full detail and the car still looks like garbage.
