This job was exciting for me as it was the 1st of a few things. The 1st time I did an engine detail, believe it or not, and more importantly, the 1st job I did for a dealership..in this case the local Infiniti dealer. It was a used car they got in Toronto and their in-house detail guy was sick so I was asked to do it. We agreed on $300. which would normally equate to 12 hours of work. It actually took me 13 but I'm not complaining..I really hope this job leads to others from them. The car had multiple scratches on it; I think it had a lot of trips through the automatic car washes
. This car was also the 1st time I tried ARO at full strength as well as diluted. I used it diluted on the convertible top and it did a great job..the crap that came rolling out of there..yuck. I also used it full strength on the wheels and behind the spokes. The wheels alone took almost an hour. I also used it diluted on the engine..cleaned up real nice. Used the leaf blower immediately afterwards. It was pretty funny..had 3 machines (2 rotaries and UDM) going at the same time..easier than switching pads!
