Okay so since I have been washing my car outside on the street for sometime now, I decided when spring weather comes around I'd start a neighborhood car wash service under the title of "hobby auto detailer". I get plenty of compliments on my personal car, and how clean I keep it, why not make some money on the side.Nothing big time, just to get extra money here and there...I forgot my camera at the time of wash, so only used my camera phone. I made a business card via vistaprint (the cheap free ones lol) to put on windshields of cars in the neighborhood in the spring. But I made my first album, some before /afters, as to show my work. What better than to show an extremely dirty car before and after from a family member. Plus I got to test out the Cobra Guzzler HD which I got during the AGO 20% sale, I have been using meguairs waffle weave previously and they are laughable in comparison, the guzzler is great. So here's my first album: Volvo C70 for potential customers to check out online.
