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.

I guess it would bother me, more then him.

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 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.
