If you do polish out that one spot its like getting paid to do a test spot for a potential client. You could look at this as a little teaser and use it to entice him to get the whole car done after winter or when he has the cash.
I personally dont see why you wouldnt want to do it. I know you arent getting the whole car but you will get paid to do that one section and possibly get the whole car later.
Thats just my :2 cents: and I know you will wow the customer Barry
I will definitely not turn down the job. I guess I was just worried that it would dissapoint the customer. Don`t get me wrong. I know I can buff out that spot and make it look 100% better.
My only concern is that the car will look all out of wack if one spot is bright, glossy and haze free, and the rest still looks dull.
I am in no position to turn down any work, but I was just concerned about how it will look.
That`s the point I think everyone is trying to make. He`ll get tired of seeing one perfect spot on his car, and will eventually break down and ask you to do the rest! It`s a no-lose situation.
I have a customer who has a car needing a new paint job. He has some nasty rock chips in the hood, that if left untreated will rust over the winter, so he is saving up his money to have it re-painted.
He has a section over the rear wheel well that looks like the previous owner tried to sand it, and wants me to polish it out.
I have tried to talk him into letting me do the entire car, but he really doesn`t have the money to do it. He wants me to do just that section.
My question is, would you guys do this? Is it wise to polish one section of the car while the rest of the car gets no treatment?
What`s your feelings on this?
my feeling is that, to each his own! perhaps when he see`s it, he will go for the rest of the car. Get paid for your time and material and treat it like any job.
