REALLY nice 85 D I'm getting ready for a customer to sell

I'm going to totally detail the engine, and steam the interior. any important items I should focus on to get in perfect shape before the listing?
I wanna get maximum dollar for this guy.
it's a topaz metalic blue sedan, low miles, fantastic shape, everything works on it. sad story, the man has several MB diesels and a few VW's, and he wanted a D for his wife. he found this one, and she loved it. then she died.
he's kept if for the last two years in the garage, and the paint is perfect, he just wants to sell it.
soooo, all helpful hints toward restoring this baby for sale will be appreciated.

Probably worth taking it to a non Armoral detail shop for the final shine.

Leave you more time to do mechanicals.

THAT"S THE TRUTH!!!
I hate the look of an armoralled car! ickky!
not much mechanical to do. the car is cherry. I just gotta clean the gathered residue off the hoses and engine compartment, then give it a thorough going over.
I've been thinking about the idea of dropping it off with a full detail shop. they'd have the right tools, and would do a very good job I'd think.
