First paid job done

[House of Wax]

Well, I completed my first paying job on Saturday. Wasn't a "correction" type job or anything, but the guy drove away tickled and wants me to do his Black 95 GMC truck whenever I can.

Interior was vac'd, hard surfaces and seats wiped down with a diluted citrus cleaner, protected with Aerospace 303, and carpets lightly cleaned with Folex.

Exterior:
Washed with ONR
Prepped with Nanoskin Prep Towel
Polished with Menzerna Final Polish via Rupes w/ white Lake Country flat pad
Topped with Collinite 845 via Rupes w/ red Lake Country pad
Glass cleaned with Stoners
Black Trim wiped down with 303


I was pressed for time so I don't have a ton of great before and after pictures, but thought I'd share anyway.

Congrats on the first of many hopefully! Turned out nice

[Brody]

Looks fantastic! Nice work. Tell the customer to check the air pressure in his front left tire. Looks low on air to my eye.

[R4IDER]

congrats!! really good for a 1 step polish

[House of Wax]

Thanks guys. I was nervous as hell haha. I've done my own cars for years and have done freebie work for family members, but it felt totally different doing it for money. I work with the guy and I know how picky he is, so I'm not sure if it made if better or worse knowing him lol

[Paul Mitchell]

Great job!

[Chicago Tommy]

Paint looks great. If you really want to wow 'em next time, wheel wells and tire shine.

[jankerson]

Nice Job. :)

I fully intended on it but the guy showed up before I was done (the guy is incredibly hyper and was getting antsy lol) and he insisted I not worry about it. Drove me nuts all the way home not having it done though

[House of Wax]

Well this is escalating quickly. The guy I did the jeep for wants me to do his truck whenever I can and his neighbor saw their jeep and that guy wants me to do his truck like now lol.

I noticed some people like to blur out the license plate#.

[OnsiteDetailing]

Nice job on the paint, chrome, and wheels.

[HateSwirls]

Looks really good man.
Yeah word of mouth goes a long way when one does work like this.

I'm booked for the next three weekends, all started from the guy who's truck I did over this past weekend:)

Congratulations on your first, more to come:)

Yeah, I was kind surprised at pretty much getting lined up for two more jobs off of this one already.
