This is the type of job I deal with from time to time. They are not normally this bad but the processes are normally the same. I'll have this bus through November 5th and in the end will post up a few after pictures with some process descriptions and types of machines/products used to get it looking as good as I can. I consider this type of job as extreme detailing/low budget restoration.

This is called working for the ability to survive the first few years of growing a business. When times get tough you can't just lay down, and you can't say no to the work that comes your way. You have to do what you have to do and you have to take the bad with the good. This client really has no budget for this type of service so they had to contact their network of support to come up with the money to pay my fee. We came to a certain dollar mark where I just wouldn't budge, not one penny less. Trust me when I say that this particular job will not in any way be a lucrative deal, but it has opened the door for future work through them that will be more lucrative and not near as cruddy.
I guess you could call this job a necessary evil or an audition of my skills for this steady client to come fully on board with booking my services.
