We had Menzerna and a Paint Guy look at this car when they were in for meetings and they both agreed that this car needed to be wetsanded down and re cleared it was pretty bad.

Wow, what a great job. I would charge about 250 here in Bama for that kind of detail. Most people dont want to pay that kind of money for a job like that. Again, great job.

No, I don't play soccer!
Stained dirty carpets and crap in/behind the seats that looks like it's been there for ages? I'm not saying clean it daily or even weekly. Maybe try pulling out the vacuum and washing it once a month - that's all.

great job as usually phil 
did you have pics of the etchings from before and after? and did you wet sand the car or did you mention that bc thats the only way to get rid of the etchings? a little confused here.
what he said or customer could have recently purchased the car in this condition?

as for the etching shots if you look closely at the trunk (finished) you will see some of the stains in the shot.

Another AWESOME detail! You know what bugs me some times...is the fact that some people don't understand the amount of work that goes into this sort of detail, but then they complain about the price! I never understood why you would pay 40-50k for a vehicle, then treat it like trash-I guess some things we'll never understood huh? LOL
