2010 Toyota Prius ~ 2003 Honda Element ~ 1997 Holiday Rambler Vacationer
My part time detailing business has been doing well. I have made a couple of key contacts and if things go as planned I should get a steady stream of quality referrals. I continue to invest in better equipment. My latest purchase was the SunJoe SPX 3000 and foam canon with a 50ft hose. I am very happy with the combination and it performed as needed/expected.
The Prius is owned by the wife of the guy who owns the blue Sonata I did the day before Thanksgiving. She is the next-door neighbor of the woman who owns the Ford Excursion and Mustang that I did a while ago. The Honda Element is owned by a neighbor 2 doors down from the owner of the Excursion. So, I’m spreading like a plague in the neighborhood! ☺ The woman who owns the Excursion also introduced me to the shop owner of that white Chevelle I did and Holiday Rambler you see below. Through her I’ll end up doing at least 9 vehicles.
The RV won’t get polished until Thur as I’m waiting on supplies.
The Prius was a straight forward wash and seal. The Element had some paint correction. The Element has some VERY faded/dirty exterior plastic. PERL did a great job making it look great again. I strongly suggested DLUX treatment, but the owner will paint the plastic and wheels soon. They really love their Element…in Element forums and go to meets. Both vehicles had clean interiors, which was a nice change of pace for me.
