As I first started to claybar his Victory Red 2006 Corvette I was commenting to him how good a shape it was in and how he had little to no swirls on the vehicle.:xyxthumbs



Then he pops a question on me, "I throw in an extra $20 if you can guess the mileage within 1,000 miles"?



I said okay, let me finish the claybaring first and I`ll give you my best guess. I asked how long he`d had the car (just less then 2 years) and if it was garage kept (obviosly) as well as if it was everyday car or weekend only, (everyday driver in all weather conditions as well).



I finished the clay, then took a educated guess of between 16-17K, I said 16,700 miles total. He drove down from VA so that added a few.



It had just over 17,000 miles on it, I guessed 16,700, he took out the $20 and handed it to me and said, "wow, you really are good". :sign :xyxthumbs



Just thought I would share.;)

yea, it was pretty funny, cause he said, he knew I came highly recommended (from the CF forum) and said he almost swallowed his tongue after that cause I nearly hit it dead on within a few hundred miles.



Needless to say I ended up with $45 more then I charged him for. :nana: :woohoo:

They say you can tell a lot about a person by their garbage...

I`m also convinced that a good detailer can tell more about most people than they might be comfortable with sometimes by the condition of their car.
