Hello geeks.
Today was a great day. I have always received tips from every job I have ever done. Today was different... I have put in 2 13 hour days the last 2 days on a new client with a 04 Chrysler Sebring.
Client heard about me from an older lady I had done an interior job for about 3-4 weeks ago. He wanted the whole whammy. Interior , exterior , engine. I mean everything.
Vehicle was very neglected but he asked my honest opinion what the value was now and what it would be when I was finished. I told him if he didn't mind the price I could make it new again. And that's exactly what I did.
Half way through my steamer decided that the jet attachment that all the other attachments connect to would melt on me and break. It was hell without it and the steamer is 2 months old...didn't stop me one bit. Just time for other detailing supplies and a lot of elbow grease in places I normally would blast with steam.
Either way I went above and beyond to ensure my word of new vehicle condition at finish. Not only was this gentleman and his wife going out of their way too feed me great meals with as much Gatorade and water one could ever need. They asked why I didn't have a pressure washer and wouldn't it have made the job easier?
I told them about waterless washes and how I use Gary Dean's method on neglected exteriors. Well sure enough they gave me a pressure washer that they used once on the rear deck...
It is a Briggs&Stratton 1800 psi 1.6 GPM electric PW with a bunch of extras.
Anyone that follows me knew that I just purchased a van and a PW was in the list of things to buy. I'm so thankful and grateful people like this are still around. Makes you want to do everything possible to do the best possible at all times.
Sorry for such the long post but I just think that is awesome. I will post pics tomo of the PW and the vehicle. I ran out of light tonight to get any after shots. And to be honest I'm just whooped and should be sleeping already.
Thanks for reading. - Tory
