first i'd like to start off by thanking everyone who helped me along. i'd aslo like to thank everyone who posted and gave me inspiration to detail.
i just started detailing and am starting a side hustle because #1 I love cars, and #2 i need more $$$. i started last week after my orders from AG arrived. so far i have "detailed" 2 cars besides my own one was a NEGLECTED interior shampoo that took 4 hours and the other a wash&wax and vac. nothing exciting. so this week i had 3 cars lined up, but i keeps looking like rain so i get 3 rainchecks. so before work monday i decide to clean my car and top with KAIO, tuesday no rain again so i layer the KAIO with Colli 845. looks super shiny. impressed yes, overwhelmed no. Wednesday RAIN!!! now i'm impressed...
