On this episode we catch with Lee's Auto Detailing in Ballarat Victoria. It might be only an hour west of Melbourne but to me it still has that country feel about it and good old fashioned word of mouth still works these days. And that proves it to where LAD has become a well known name in the area for his quality of work.

Enjoy.
