    I`ve had my fare share of disasters for details. Really I don`t take them on any more, I don`t need to.

    Did an X3 that was like that on the outside last weekend. Car hadn`t been washed in over a year and spends most of its time outside, the silver wheels were completely black and took 6 applications of IronX to get them `acceptable`. And it was black, of course.

    Some people...

    Stay strong!

    I used to have a goat farm fleet. Needless to say and I am serious I would not eat lunch before doing the vehicles. The things and smells I cleaned out of those I even still got dry heaves.
    Although I did his collector cars that was fun. I dreaded the "fleet week" I feel your pain. Best of luck!
    One day I`ll get to do my own car.

    I actually like cars like that personally, there`s a bigger difference in the final product.

    I prefer to look at as there is an easier difference..!

    If you can take a car that most people think looks great, and make an appreciable improvement, that is a talent for sure!
