I know and you’re exactly right because he seemed like exactly 1 of those guys. Expensive cars but expects them done cheap and probably picky as hell.

Meanwhile I’m thinking let me dial each car in perfectly then maintenance will be a breeze but trust me it’ll be so worth it and your cars will be perfect at all times… But I doubt he would’ve had to patience to see that vision.

I still have his number. Maybe I’ll try and call him again someday and talk some sense into him. Lol

For your own mental health, I would urge you to not go there!

I "fired" my biggest client in 2020. For 15 years I had been maintaining up to 6 properties for one of the richest families in Australia, lawns at two commercial properties and lawn and gardens at 4 residences. For the most part, I was left to get on with the job and I would charge very conservative figures for what I was doing. The grandmother was hard work but sweet, the son grateful for my efforts. The father on the other hand could be terrifying, but again, generally left me to do what needed doing.............. apart from calling me after hours and on weekends. When Covid hit and the lockdowns started, suddenly the old man had a lot of time on his hands and nowhere to go.

Mid 2020, he started to question my prices, told me that what I was doing wasn't "rocket science" and that I needed to cut my prices because of the economic climate brought on by Covid lockdowns. While this guy was extremely wealthy, I NEVER ripped him off, I just did my job, often over and above what was required. The biggest insult was the "not rocket science" thing, belittling my chosen profession and making me ashamed at asking for money in trade of my experience, knowledge and hard work. I suggested he could find someone else, but no no no, I just had to control my prices. All of the above took place outside of his newly completed multi-million-dollar mansion with Greek goddess statues and gold leaf pillars and fleet of Rolls Royce and Bentley's in the garage. To suggest he was short of a quid because of Covid was jaw dropping.

I persisted till the end of 2020 and decided I didn't want to start 2021 having to worry about him anymore. I politely and quietly resigned with some protest from his wife and son, she knew what was going on because she would come out on and slip me some cash on the quiet to "buy some lunch". His son later found out why I left, and has tried to get me back a few times, but I won't be subjecting myself to that again. I dare say he now knows how little he was paying me for my services.

I say all this knowing that sometimes the rich are the tightest people on the planet, often coming across as if they are entitled to be arrogant, demanding and downright rude because of their wealth. That its ok for them to earn a healthy living, but certainly not you. As such, I say avoid those seemingly lucrative jobs, they are not worth the mind-fu.k.

On the flip side,for years I detailed a wealthy man's Mercedes and he was always very gracious. Never questioned my fee and in fact, gave me a 100% tip! I had to stop working for him when I moved and I felt so bad to hear he recently died
Not all wealthy people are stingy and arrogant. It's a negative stereotype.

Decided to get outside and enjoy this mid 50 degree weather this morning...LET'S GO️

Started by using Griot's Garage wheel cleaner and my 4 brushes to clean the winter tires & wheels (6 days till they come off)

Next I had the IK Foam Pro 12 loaded with 4 oz of Bilt-Hamber Touchless and a gallon of distilled water and just did a foam/dwell/rinse/ dry. For a drying aid I used an old mix of DPC spray wax (so much stuff to use up)

Later on I'll be doing a "boost check" on my new N75 Stage 1 tuned ECU

Are we ever going to have a decent Saturday in PA? Knew they were calling for rain. But against my better judgment did the Maintenace wash on the truck. As i was finishing the light rain came. Finished drying it, dressed the tires and called it good. Is what it is. Not going to move for 2 days, so it should stay clean. Typical PA spring weather. 4 months of rain. 1 month of summer. Then back to fall. LOL.
