    Hi Mitch, not sure if you'd be interested or if anyone has mentioned before, but after watching a few videos I had an idea. While removing items from a customer's car instead of using plastic bags to return them, you could use fabric bags (like the ones for groceries) and put your logo on them. I doubt you have trouble finding clients, but it could generate more business in your area and double as a "gift" to the customer. Just a thought :) And congrats on the new studio! Can't wait to see the the first car detailed there.

    The condition, distance, and being sold at auction all reinforce the "used for something illegal in a previous life" thoughts I had at the preview post. The new owner is giving the car a new life, whether keeping or reselling. This detail is the best start to that.

      Being from New Mexico it's actually in decent shape for here if not garage kept. Especially with the windshield intact. The sun here just takes the clear right off if you're not waxing.

      When I was 14 years old, my dad lost his insurance business due to unforeseen and terrible circumstances. My parents had to file for bankruptcy. We lost our home (which was not fancy at all - it was a 1969 ranch house). Our cars were repossessed. My family never did anything illegal and we are not gross. But plenty of people are like you and they treated us like we were gross and stupid. It was painful. My mom kept a clean house and my dad kept the cars clean. My dad later filed for divorce from my mom.
      We are people who had hard circumstances, not people who dealt in illegal things.
      Bad things DO happen to good people. Life’s not so simple as only bad things happen to bad people.

And I honestly wish my customers cars where a lot dirtier. I have noticed you have not done any really old cars. I just resently detailed a 57 Chevy which was scratched so bad all over and detailed a 76 beetle. Came out both looking new. What’s the oldest car or truck you have ever worked on?

    I just detailed a car the other day, and the battery died on me midway through, which has never happened to me before. I had turned off the door lights and stuff, so it must have been a draw or bad battery. Anyways, I used a trickle charger and that allowed me to use all the electronics in the vehicle for seats and stuff, and it started right up when I finished. Definitely recommend having one on hand

    The grasshopper was the least of this charger's problems. The dumping of the dark water was impressive, that was pretty gross. That interior was a lot of work. An amazing job on the exterior. The polish you put on there really made the black pop. I am happy to see the tan lines around your eyes, that means you have been getting out a bit, even if it's just to clean up the new studio grounds.
