This pic is behind the passenger seat. There is a little compartment there, this is the lid of that. Very dirty

Car is covered in swirls...apparently he was having another detailer maintain the cars but the guy no longer details...probably a good thing!

Spot in the seat is a small tear. He's planning on having the seat replaced I believe.

And the outside...I must say that Fuzion really looks great on this color

Thanks for reading!
 
Good job! Looks like he has two more Mercedes' for you to detail. And you can use your silver HHR to show him what his silver paint can look like!

Jason - My chenille mitt has started coming apart inside, have you had any issues with this?

Nice work, Fuzion is a dream to work with isn't it?
 
Jason,

Did you do some correction, or just use the Fuzion?
 
nice

what's with the big sticker on the right side of the back?
Looks like an oversized keyhole
 
Good work Jason. Hope business is staying busy for you now that you have made the change.

That car would be fun to have on a maintenance plan.
 
Awesome work Jason! How's business?

Business is good right now. Been keeping busy M-F. I actually took last weekend off.

Mine isn't falling apart on the inside, but the cuff is coming off. They certainly are not made that well.

Fuzion is awesome to work with. I didn't have any shade yesterday and I didn't know how Fuzion would work in the sun. Must say it was probably one of the easiest waxes I've used.

Jason,

Did you do some correction, or just use the Fuzion?

No correction just Fuzion. The guy is kind of on the cheaper side and wasn't interested in a correction. I did try to sell him on it. But to each his own. So, just a cleaning was in store.

I is for Italian. The guy is full blown Italian right off the boat!

Business is keeping me busy that's for sure. And I'm not complaining. But I would prefer more cash basis customers...everyone seems to be giving me checks or wanting to pay by credit card...

I talked to him about a maintenance plan and he said he'd think about it.
 
That is one sweet ride!!! It's ashame he is "swirl-blind"!!! I would have loved to seen a full correction on this then topped with the Fuzion. Most customers don't understand that paint clarity is the key. Nice job Jason!:props:
