So, what kinda of a vehicle do you wish/dream to detail? I want to detail a Doctors Ferrari. I'm sure I will have the chance to detail that one in the near future. :cheers: I'm doing a 1 stage to one of his friends Toyota 4 Runner right now. After I passed out fliers, in the country club area I live right next too, I'm starting to get quite a few request. On Monday, I have to do a one stage on a Dentist Merceder S500. After that, he wants me to wash all of his employees vehicles. There is another 10 vehicles waiting to be done by me. I guess I better hire a 2nd person to assist me. LOL Im the MAN

Feed back please

Are you insured? Expensive cars are expensive to repaint. I mostly do friends and family, and none of them have exotic cars. I dream about a car that has no need for tape. Just like painting the inside of my house. I hate taping.

I do not wish to drive the Ferrari or anything exotic. I just wish to be able to detail one and say I've done one of those before. I tape many of my clients vehicles up anyways. I do not wish to mess up any special areas on vehicles.

Sometimes I dream about getting a new exotic car but I never dream about detailing them. I never think about detailing a car until after I get it. One of my friends keeps bugging me to detail his motor home. I do have bad dreams about detailing that thing.

My retirement car when it's released.

Acura ZDX | Future Vehicles | Acura.com (http://www.acura.com/FutureVehicles.aspx#/FutureVehiclesCUV)

Actually any car pleases me. I find more satisfaction when transforming a dirty, beat up mess into a sparkling clean, brilliantly shined car.

I do this for a hobby and I have two family cars coming up. Until then, I've been giving my lawnmower a second thought :D

hes not talking about insured if you wreck it, hes talking about if you mess up the paint while buffing/polishing etc

Well, I'm very good friends with the owner of the body shop that the Ferrari owner takes his vehicle too if needed. My friend know what I can do, so, there are no worries. He sees my clients vehicles before and after quite often.

Prime example. Here is the MB E320 that was at his body shop before I got the vehicle:

And here is what it looked like after I did stage 1 of 2:

I actually dream of something different, I dream of someone else with talent detailing my car for me. I can see Asphalt, Harleyguy, or even Toto (sure I missed some) showing off their buffing displays and finally getting some rest from a black finish. I dont have the time, patience, or desire to do it every weekend any longer and do not or should say cannot find someone I can trust locally.

Well, I'm getting pretty darn good with this new Flex. Two or the Three vehicles I've worked on, at this time, have been Black. That MB and an '08 Range Rover. Some major car wash place, down here in the valley, detailed it and really messed that black Range Rover up. Swirels, white wax marks on the black rubbers and other issues. It's corrected now. :righton: Next week, I will have to do a Stage 1 on a MB S500. He is also going to pay for all of his employees vehicles to be washed, just washed, at his office next week too.
