Well after almost four years of my neighbors watching and making fun of my obsession with keeping my paint clean they finally broke. After seeing the work I did on the Equionox last week they decided it couldnt hurt to let me have a go at it. Car is about four years old with close to 45K miles. It is washed about once a month (mostly by the delearship) and waxed at most three times a year. Worked from 3-7, total take was $75 woth a $5 tip.

She was rather pleased with the car. Her husband couldnt tell a difference :sosad. I called her to come over and pick up her car and she brought her 11 year old daughter. She saw a bug on the hood and procede to jump onto the hood and wack the bug with a hand that had a ring and watch on. I feared for the paint, but luckily there seemed to be no scartches from its ordeal.
 
Great job Beason, some people just dont appreciate quality work.



I know people like that too and they all seem to have $70,000+ cars that they would never even consider taking care of. It just kills me to see Audis, Lexuses, etc, get abused like that.

He has a cusom build 67 Ford Mustang he built himself. He takes pride in everything because he did it himself, however the only problem is the paint. Swirled like no other.
 
Saw this on OT too. Excellent work, paint looks really wet.



Main problem with that color from a detailer's point of view is that it looks pretty good even when dirty so to the average person, they probably don't notice much improvement when it is cleaned up.
