    Can I even go on Facebook since I don't have an account? I dunno, but I'm pretty sure I've been denied access to even look in the past... Oh well, screw them if I can't even brouse. Lol

    What to do if you run out of time?

    .... And yea, I do like the Allante. In fact I just purchased an original 1987 rare hard to find 1st year 40 pg. brochure that's in mint condition stored since new. Got a good deal too. I'll post a pic when it arrives in a few days.

    Re: What to do if you run out of time?

    If you think the work will require more than one day to complete you should absolutely keep the vehicle as long as needed.

    I used to almost kill myself trying to do mobile full corrections and coating installs in one day. A few times I'd be at the client's house until midnight which was just ridiculous. Now on any coating install I keep the car for 3 days minimum. Day one is usually prep, interior, pull rims, test spot and however much correction I feel like getting done. Day 2: Finish correction, final polishing, & panel prep sometimes begin coating some panels or complete first layer (if multiple layers are requested). Day 3: finish coating install and IR curing. I give a free loaner car for the duration of the appointment so it makes it easier for people to be without their vehicle for a few days.

    I haven't even taken the time to look at them yet, but I can tell just by the care they were packed and the person I bought them from that they're all original and mint condition as advertised.

    Inside the package:
    1969 Cadillac Full Line Prestige brochure
    1971" "
    1972
    1973
    1974
    1975
    1977
    1978
    1979
    1988 Eldorado Biaritz brochure
    1995
    This shipment cost a pretty penny, but these things are only going up in value.
    I now have an original full line deluxe/prestige Cadillac brochure for every year between 1952 through 2000, except for 1968 and 1976 [and 1998 because they didn't make 1 that year]...




    Plus I have several rare special edition ones like that 1987 Allante brochure that I bought today

    Re: What to do if you run out of time?

    I just ask when their next available time is.

    My assistant threw out his back two days before we were scheduled to do a duct cleaning truck. It was a game time decision, and he just couldn't make it.

    I had to do it by myself, but it took one and a half Sundays.

    Tell him if he could drop it off at night, that way you can take care of the wash and clay part [because you can literally do that in the middle of the night if you have to]

    Then you can start on the serious business early in the morning and tell him you can have his vehicle done by 10-11 if everything goes as planned. Leave the car in the garage overnight after applying sealant? Lol. Not necessary. Just seal that thing up and have them drive off, it's fine.
    This plus use a1. Step to save time like menzerna cut and gloss
