Golf for Life Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yes I love my black cars also, on my fifth. Yes they are a pain to keep looking perfect, but well worth it. Nice recovery Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOWpoke Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks guys!!! The entire process took just about all day 10am-5pm I'd say but hey I got some PRACTICE!!!! ....and an achy back...and achy shoulders...and I worked the next day..and working 5 more after that BUT..as I said this is PRACTICE for me, and he was super thrilled and happy. Which is all I care about. I'm 100% positive that future paint corrections and details will be better as my technique improves. I'm still VERY MUCH LEARNING!! Fortunately I have 5 more cars lined up over the next month (Dylan and Adam) expect some orders There's a red Audi I MAY do a write up on, probably skip pics and all on the red Chevy truck, my moms pearl white G35 I'll skip pics on, a friends black BWM (sorry I'm Lexus through and through), and my dads silver 350Z drop top I WILL do a write up and pics on. Along with 2 interior details..busy busy busy! So LOTS and LOTS of practice for me in the near future!! Parents cars are a part of their Christmas presents, the rest I'm charging for to cover product and my time on my Saturdays off BUT if everyone is happy maybe word of mouth will get out and it'll be a regular deal..will see on that though..I certainly wouldn't turn any away as I need to hasten my house funds apartment living is great and all but my 5'5 135lbs butt needs SPACE and 800sqft ain't cutting it!! lol HOWEVER I am MORE than blessed to have a GREAT job with a company I love and am passionate about, a roof over my head, what I consider a VERY nice car that gets pampered with AMAZING Adams products and rests in a garage, a DD that is reliable and gets me from A to B, food on my table, a great dog, awesome family and friends, and an UNREAL Drop Dead GORGEOUS sweetest thing on the planet as my girl Very lucky to have those things in my life and very lucky to get turned on to Adams products for car care at a young ole age of 26!! Again thanks you guys!! Knowing I got ya'lls seal of approval means I'm on the right track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
