I "had" a decent ralationship with a buddy from highschool that runs a bodyshop & used car lot. He would buy these beaters from hell at the auction and I'd do my best to detail them. Now, he was a good guy and taught me a few things about rotary buffing and he turned me onto 3M Extra Cut and Ultrafina - so he ain't all bad. BUT, when you get use to doing at least one detail a month (small biz) and 2 months go by and nada - you get to wondering. I called and he said well, it was slow but he had a couple coming up, then he says (like I'm a kid) "I have to get on ya about that last detail" OK what? Well, you didn't clean the trunk on that Altima. OK, I say, I really just forgot it, I spent 8 hours cleaning that dirt bag and getting it looking fit for sale - all for 75 bucks I might add, and I just didn't think about it. He starts back-pedaling a little and going on that it ain't a big deal, so I'm thinking if it ain't then why bring it up. I do these for him cause I need the cash and if I do like to practice on the rotary (trust me, these cars are a step away from the crusher) so it's a learning thing. OK, I learned you can't work for peanuts, you can't rely on old school buddies and you have more fun doing cars that people care a little something for.
