So before I begin I wanted to share how this particular job came about. The way this job came about was all because I asked a simple question on the clients Facebook post. So this client I'm friends with on facebook mainly because he was an old family friend who grew up with my brother. We haven't seen each other or spoke in years but regardless we are friends on social media. So one night I'm scrolling through and I see he posted up this awesome CLS that he just purchased for himself. Now normally I wouldn't go necessarily begging for business but I figured I would send congrats on the new purchase and ask him if he had any plans for paint and wheel protection. I figured worst case scenario I wouldn't get a response or I would land a sweet job.
Sure enough I got a message back from him and he was more than interested in what I had to offer. After speaking on the phone and giving him the information he wanted to do his own research. A couple days later he called very excited and couldn't believe this technology existed. He wanted the full range of coatings. Kenzo on the paint, wheels off treatment, glass, trim etc. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that opportunity to land jobs is always around and learning how to approach people or ask certain questions really can pay off in the end.
Onto the detail.
This 2017 cls had just a tick over 14k when it arrived and overall was in good condition. The paint besides the normal contamination from driving into the city everyday just had some minor swirling. The wheels however were a mess and took a bit of time to prep before coating.
