1993 Jeep

I didn't clay it although I should have but again he just wanted the basic detail. (I think I would have clayed it all day). So I did:

- nxt wash
- ssr2.5 on the hood
- aio
- nxt tech wax

thanks - you don't see that color too often

I forgot to mention that it rained 3 times today. I started at 8:30 & finished the job at around 4:30

The Jeep looks especially cool to me! The color REALLY pops with the wax.

Muchos gracias everyone.

Glenn - Dusty? What do you mean?
NXT is awesome. Thanks! How is DACP for you?

Sean - not busy enough but I am being lazy putting flyers out.
The "scretch" on the back of the Tahoe was removed with SSR 2.5 and a cutting pad after the picture was taken.

Thomas, your a generous guy.....wash and wax to me is a wash, and a coat of #20, done. Ok, a quick vacuum, wipe down interior, and windows....$40.00 for the Tahoe, $30.00 for the Jeep. I try to keep all wash and waxes to about 1.5 hrs each.

Well, initially he wanted both vehicles in & out. (full detail) but thought that my prices were not "high" but he didn't want to spend that much. The Jeep's interior is trashed so I wouldn't have done it anyways. His kids use the Jeep in the summer to go to the beach. It will be stored. The Tahoe had the usual swirls and the inside was also pretty bad. I explained to him what it takes to get rid of them and he didn't care about the swirls but wanted good protection.

Now if I told you how much he wrote the check out for....
