Hi everyone!
Well, I had my worst day yet as a detailer today. These past couple weeks have been awesome, I got a contract with a large company in NC and a guaranteed detailing day out there once a week. They also went ahead and purchased about $3,000 in business insurance for me and a mobile oil change guy so we could be thier vendors. Anyhoo, today was my first day out there, and I had a couple express details that turned out to be full details. I had a black 99 accord that was a swirly mess, and I couldn't just use a cleaner wax on it, had to smr2.5 it and get it right. Took me and my asst waaaaay to long to get it lookin right. So next we take on a 98 Avalon, even worse. So we're bustin it out, I'm about to start buffing when a gust of wind hits out 10x20 tent, rips out two poles which in turn fall and scratch the side of the Avalon three times down to the primer! If I was flexible enough I would have kicked myself in the head at that point. Also, it happened to be a senior VP's car there. Nice. Anyway, he was really cool about it, and the intermediary company who got me the contract was cool and is helping me find a body shop to come out and give him an estiimate for my insurance. So what was supposed to be a great day turned out to be an absolutely crappy one. Just venting, hope you guys had a better day.
