    I have the opportunity to start a detail business in my area that requires me to pay about $3000 a month rent. Do any of you have a large business and pay rent, or are you mainly a sole proprietorship or a mobil detailer? Thanks for any input.

    1984 Bronco Original Paint! 23yr old single stage.

    I can't take credit for this because it was stunning when I got it. All I did was Menzerna's final polish and some Natty's blue... but thought you all might enjoy the pics of a 23 yr old vehicle properly stored and cared for.
