First paid detail and first show n shine

[timbo7]

This is my first time doing someone elses car. Until today I only ever did my wifes TL and my Legacy GT. Both turned out great but neither of our cars were as bad as this. I did this for one of my friends. We agreed that I'd do a one step and I think it turned out great for what I used. It took me about 7 hours from start to finish and hes going to pay me $200 which I think is pretty fair for both parties. Hes out of town so he wont see it till next week. I told him I was just going to do the outside but I couldnt resist and tidied up the inside a bit. Didnt touch the seat other than vacuum and the headliner needed help but I didnt touch that either. Maybe in the future.
