Back for my second post! Been busy!(image heavy)

[WizardofOz]

After my warm welcome to the AF I have had my hands full from referrals! I wont complain one bit! A little refresher, I restored the paint on a 86 Monte Carlo SS that had not been touched in 26 years.

Ended up Detailing the guys Denali after:

Someone told someone about what I did, gotta love how word of mouth can spread! Landed a gig doing some work for a used BMW/Mini dealer doing a single stage polish and wax on just about his whole lot (~50 vehicles). Because he was unhappy with how his detailer was doing things and wrecking the paint with buffer trails. I kind of feel bad cause I work next to the guy every day... fixing all of his mistakes :rofl. Anyhow, I have gotten through about 20 of the vehicles in the past 2 weeks.

Here are some pictures of what I have been doing:

I am now also the on call recon guy for the dealership as well. Got a Honda Accord that look like it went under sprinkler filled with iron... Nothing a little Iron X couldn`t take care of!

All of the paint was like this:

Really good work. Looks like you got in with one of the dealers who actually care, which is a good thing. I done an old Monte Carlo like that not too long ago. Very odd body lines and sharp points on those cars, but it was a lot of fun to work on. Good work :)

[Old Pirate]

Great to see you been busy, that 50/50 of the Monte Carlo is one I would love to see of more.

[Pats300zx]

[Todd@RUPES]

Wow it looks like you have been incredibly busy! All of those cars look amazing.

[mjlinane]

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I just went to a classic car show this weekend and I will hopefully be having a few more projects to come. One or two 60`s corvettes! After that hopefully will be making a nice order from the store for a new flex polisher!

I have a few more bimmer`s to complete this week. Here is a preview:
