1999 Civic Sedan

[devst8]

Did this car on Saturday, the car itself is a Civic 1999 and was in ruff shape. The cars must have 15+ tents and tons of heavy scratches. This was supposed to be just a wash and wax type of job but I did take car of the major scratches anyways! I felt too bad leaving them there! lol And I always like to do just a little more then what the customer asked

She wanted to wax her car because she wants to sell it but after seeing it when it was finished she said she might keep it another year :-)

I will be doing her husband’s truck later this summer and she asked me for a couple of business cards to give so it's all good :-)

Total Time: 5h30

Wash

um...is it just me or is somethign wrong...I can't see the pictures I just get a nice little box with a red x in it?...am I the only one that cant see the pictures?

Question, what did you think of the Ricardo "yellow" clay?

[devst8]

To tell the truth I only have worked with 2 brand of clay, Megs Smooth Surface and Ricardo. Between the 2, Ricardo wins hands down. This clay is laterally bubble gum; you can stretch it like mad! And it never breaks down.

I would like to try the Pinnacle clay though. Maybe someone would like to exchange samples? *wink wink*

Wow bro, nice turn around. I would keep it to....Outstanding job, she looks better than new.
