I would need mad business to even come close to my actual job interms of income.
I like having it as a side/fun job that brings in some extra cash for spending.
how much do you usually charge? I mean i know it wont happen but you leave those cars looking really nice.
Also yesterday went to harbor freight and got me a 120$ worth buffer that was on sale for $60
have everything i need to leave the paint looking amazing just need the time to do it maybe on friday

You want a soft pad and an aggressive compound, but honestly get the 2000 grit out and wet sand just don't do the wax on wax off ****, one direction for wet sanding. Try a little 4"x4" spot first and you'll get an idea of how much work is needed

Yes, it may take a few extra cutting coats but you'll see the difference right away. I could do a write up (gf's Black Audi is in rough shape, PO must of liked the lots of love touchy car washes) it would be with my drill not the polisher though

Last year was my first season of detailing cars (other than mine), and I made out pretty well.
I started in August last year, so I had a late start.
I already have a few customers lined up for this spring. Here's to making easy fun money!!

Yeah its not that I loved these or anything but I needed a wheel and fast. So where as if I went with something I actually wanted I probably would have needed new tires or look up the best fitment.
I went with these knowing the tires would fit and these were a lot cheaper than some of the other wheels I had thought about.
So I was a little skeptical on if i would like them or not but as soon as the shop dropped the car I was like woah. That looks good
