First off, I'm glad to be back. I'm just here to help out....if I can......in anyway.

This is a trip I took several weeks back.....


Well it's winter here in the north Georgia Mountains. I have plenty of business but 7+ days of below freezing temps along with several inches of snow, has slowed me up. Ok. I'm doing nothing! Then my phone rings. I can't get to it so a voice mail pops up. I listen. Then I smile!

A customer of mine resides up here for 5 months then back down to Marco Island Florida for the other 7 during winter. She asked if I would be interested in coming down and detailing out their 3 personal vehicles as well as another 6 more. I promptly called her back. She said that now, in 10 minutes, she had another one bringing the total to 10. I could stay at their house at no charge. I just had to get there and "there" was 12 hours and 730 miles away. I had to go.

Little did I know I would end up doing 17 total! A few didn't make it to my camera due to time restraints. 10 were full details and the other 7 were "mini" details. I used Meguiar's 105, 205, and #21 on all cars that required full details. D-151 was used on the mini's and topped with #21. All cleaners and tools were also Meguiar's. There is not going to be any elaborate write ups.....just pics.

It was a great time but man, I'm beat. I was able to make some money for my family and establish a great winter business for myself.

First off, the place I stayed at....

Truck looks little in front huh?

This is the area of the house that was mine. The kitchen was stocked as well. I owe these people so much.

These were the climate controlled 2 car garages. One set on each side.

Now the cars in no particular order. Just eye candy. Heck, I didn't even ask the year of most of them!

This was a collection that consumed a lot of my time. Most were mini details. Actually more fun than doing fulls on them.

These are the reason for the trip. If the Bentley looks familiar, I posted it up a while back when they had up here in the mountains.
