Thanks for the input, guys.
So far, I've worked out 2 barter agreements: 1) with the hardware store. I'll maintain his company pick-up for full-price and receive in-kind store credit. A good deal since I'm mobile and will get a lot of visibility from passing traffic while working on his p/u. I'm also buying stuff there frequently, so I'll get a chance to use my credit.
The second was with the ad exec of the local paper I'm advertising in. Check this out. She has a Lexus RX300, metallic champagne color (so I thought) and a pit. I asked if she'd be interested in a barter- she was interested. She admitted that she hasn't waxed the SUV in 3 years and it looked it. I did the exterior in exchange for a free ad ($60.00 value). After washing the car, it kinda looked like it might be silver rather than champagne. After compounding/polishing, I discovered the car is actually silver and it turned out quite nice. She's having me back next weekend to do the interior. The best part is I picked up 2 new detail jobs from her neighbors who saw me transform her car!
