    First "real" customer: 2008 Lexus GS350

    Hi AG,

    So as im setting up my business web page, finalizing business cards and facebook page i get a call on friday for a detail job. Guy tells me he picked up my number from Google so i agree to go meet him for an estimate on what he would need for his newly aquired Lexus.

    We agreed on a polish/wax, his main concerns were a few straight line scratches but when i educated him on the swirls that were present he noticed that he needed my services ASAP so we booked the appointment for this morning.

    Washed with:
    2 bucket system of course
    CG Wash + wax
    IronX the wheels
    CG wheel cleaner for the leftover
    Lake country sponge
    Meguiars Shammy


    Paint Correction:
    Flex 3401
    M205
    Optimum MF polishing pad wasnt giving me the results i wanted
    LC CSS orange pad
    M105 on the hood
    Sealed with Collonite 476s applied with PC7424 red jeweling pad


    Customer was very happy with the result, hopefully he passes the word and bring in future business.

    Thanks for reading

    Thanks guys im glad i could get this setup in about a year (although still need a garage door or mobile van), all thanks to AG and recently Brian Tracy the motivational speaker to get me back on track and working on accomplishing my goals and dreams.


    I forgot to mention:
    clayed with Ricardo's clay bar
    ONR clay lube


    These are some panel swirls.. Didnt take the after pic though i was rushed because customer had a deadline before he had to go to work

    Great job,

    Thanks guys!

    Luckily i have a great friend who has a garage spot in his condo, a guy who i actually showed the AG ropes to (made him get a PC7424 last year to detail his beloved Subaru 2004 STi). So thats where the magic happens for now.

    Seems i am scared of doing work outdoor, been thinking about a canopie but not sure of the size required and if setting it up either at my place or at customers would be time consuming? Any suggestions on how the mobile guys hide from the sun would be great.
