- MMMichaelNov 2, 20255.0Ron and the crew are Awesome! Nice and friendly, Great service! My old truck never looked better! I love how they have glass cleaner for the windows and protective coating spray for the dash and tires. They supply microfiber clothes also which is a plus. The vacuums are heavy duty with a lot of suction power! I like the floor mat cleaner too. Very convenient, and I speak from experience. I had my own detailing business.
