This car needed alot of help inside and out. It had never been clayed and under the hood, well...........take a look at the pics.



First off, Ill be the first one to say I am slow and still learning. Before I had any paying customers, my wife though I would never get one to help pay for all the detail stuff I recently purchased and you all know how quickly it turns into an obsession buying everything. Well, it seemed like everyone I asked said either there car gets washed when it rains or could I detail it for $25? I ended up offering a co-worker a deal. I would detail his RX-8 for $100. I was thinking how easy it should be since it is a small vehicle and he loves it so much. Boy was I wrong. The only thing I didnt do was shampoo the carpets and after the pics were taken, I sure wish I had. I actually burnt my DA up while doing this car! So with that being said, I didnt get it to 100%. Anyway....
