Next up is a black BMW for the modbargain guys like in the first set...
This car was absolutely trashed from an exterior stand point...water spots, etching, swirling, etc...I would have loved to spend more time on it, but he was leaving for a show the next morning, and the shop I was at was closing 3 hours after I started...

Chevy S10 Extreme...this guy takes his car to shows all the time...bagged, awesome stereo, touch screen blah blah blah....he is a car audio installer...
Tonneau will be replaced sometime next week...and no, I DID NOT BUFF OVER THE STRIPES...that was courtesy of the previous detailers at the car wash...made it look worse...it has a crappy paint job, and was in need of wetsanding, but with only providing a two step, I wasnt really concerned with the cover (especially since it was getting replaced...
The whole car could have used a three step process, but you have to work with what you are given sometimes...

Jaguar XK8...needed a full reconditioning, but only wanted a wash, wax, interior clean up...I did what I could on it, and even did a one step to remove the oxidation and fill in some light swirling...car was the property of the Navigator above...same condition from the start...BAD

LIKE i MENTIONED...ALL THE CARS RECEIVED NO MORE THAN A TWO STEP, EVEN THOUGH SOME NEEDED MORE TO CLEAR THINGS UP...ESPECIALLY THE S10
IT WAS A BUSY WEEK...THAT WAS FROM THURSDAY TO MONDAY...AND EVERY NIGHT BUT SUNDAY i HAD WORK AFTER THE DETAILING AT MY RESTAURANT JOB...i CANT WAIT FOR THE DAY when I can quit the restaurant...and also when people wan to pay me to FULLY RECONDITION their cars...
I had some more cars mixed in, but they were more simple and a wash...
total cars done: 9
total days: 5
total red bulls: 7
total smiles on clients faces: 8 (one client had two cars :lol)
supplies used: a lot
total time slept between 5 days and work/detailing: roughly 23-25 (normally its a 8+ hour night, but this week it was averaging 4-5
Would I do it again, you bet...it was worth it!
