Started doing a little detailing on the side. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. ;]
They're all cell phone pictures, so forgive me. I'll break out the camera for the black Mercedes I'm doing this weekend.

Wash/Wax/Oxidation Repair (That's water on the car. Had a freak drizzle right after I finished.)

Wash/Wax/Removing Sap from top/Minor scratch and swirl removal

I did all three cars in less than two hours. All they wanted was a wash/touch up. The lady with the Audi made it clear that she didn't want her headlights polished, that's why I left them hazy.

Wash/Clay Bar/Wax (Did it in his garage, but it was raining outside. Gave him a free touch up a couple days later to get rid of the water spots.)

looks good, need real photos though! wonder why she didnt want her headlights waxed? (sounds dirty lol)

I have no idea. She said she had trouble seeing at night with them like that, but when I told her I'd clean them up for free she wouldn't let me do it. No clue why... it was weird.

Illiterate people sometimes don't understand that their headlights haze and need to be cleaned... You should have done it anyways haha.

If she hadn't been standing there watching me, I might have. Lol.

Too bad you are far away, id have you do all of mine once a month for that price. Its at least $100 in NJ for a half decent detail.

Theres a guy here locally who all he is going to charge me is cost of materials and a case of beer because he enjoys cleaning cars that much. He's been doing it for 6+ years.

I'm excited to have him detail my stang but I have to get the money together.... sucks being unemployed.

I can't sit down and detail like that. I just can't. Maybe thats why I love 4x4's covered in mud.

I find it funny how the chebby vert has antique plates while the real antique sits in half a foot of grass.
She said she had trouble seeing at night with them like that, but when I told her I'd clean them up for free she wouldn't let me do it. No clue why
No need, she only has to drive toward the only house in America that still has Christmas light still hanging in July.

I use the bat to detail boys that stare at me too long while I detail their cars.

No mullets here, thankfully. And the guy that owns that 'stang claims that he's going to fix it up one day... I've been trying to get him to sell it to me for months.

Except mine... I don't like cleaning mine. But I don't mind spending hours cleaning everyone elses.
