Wash and wax blaaaah (56K, maybe)

[coupe]

I have to say i wasnt gonna do this car at all. The owner called me up and said he just bought a winter beater and wants it washed and waxed. I told him i dont wash and wax vehicles, i only do paint restorations. Then he says right away that the top of his trunk was messed up, looks like someone sanded it or something and wanted to see if i can fix it. I figured sure, i will clean it up, clay it, AIO product and then seal the paint and buff out the trunk. I made it very clear to him that if it wasnt for the trunk needing buffed out i would have turned down his buisness, I DO NOT WASH AND WAX VEHICLES!!!! lol


91 Cadillac
Megs gold class wash
rubber made super degreeser on rims and tires and wheel wells
No touch on tires and then megs hot shine aresol
Stoners on glass both inside and out
Clay magic blue clay, megs #34 for quick detailer
Never dull on all chrome
Loung Hual polish/sealant (AIO)
Duragloss agua wax for the sealant

Trunk got:
Rotary Edge yellow wool and optimum compound @2400rpm
Rotary Edge yellow foam and optimum compound @1800rpm
Rotary Edge blue foam and megs #80 @1000rpm
And its nowhere near perfect in anyway shape or form. This trunk got scrubbed with something that completely destroyed the clear coat. Damn shame.

dude seriously, you bring the life back into cars something fierce... like to the point that i'd drive out to MI just to have you do up my cars!

Is this just your side thing or your way of life?

Its something i did for fun for a long time and then people started to ask how much i would charge if i where to do theirs vehicles. So i did a few here and there and then even more people started calling me and asking about what i do. It snow balled into a little buisness. This past spring i got my buisness liscence and am now doing this as a side buisness.
