I got an email from a guy on Passatworld.com after posting a link for my services in the Classifieds. He bought this car 3 months ago and the thing had scratches, dents, and major scuffs all over. The previous owner must have lived on a blueberry farm , b/c this thing was scratched to Hades and back. He had gotten a quote for a respray and didn't want to shell out the bucks, so he asked me to perform a minor miracle and fix the paint as best as possible. He bought some paint from paintscratch.com, and I included it as a step in the detail by applying it to some deep scratches as well as two MAJOR repair areas. While I thought (by Autopian Standards) that they came out "Ok," he was ecstatic. He thought the car looked amazing and I was stoked to help him out. The whole car took 7 hours, with 6 of them spent on paint. The charge was $325, after giving him a $25 break for driving to me from Baltimore Area (I live in Lancaster, PA). After he got home he posted a nice reply to my thread and my phone literally lit up for half an hour with detail jobs. Pictures cam out OK, but theere was never great sun so I did the best I could. He is a great guy and here's his car:
Interior: Vacuum, Clean all Surfaces, Protect with Wolfgang, Detail Jams w/ Z6.

How did the paint get that bad? And is that mold on the carpet? Yuck!
