Detailed an Audi A4 yesterday in the slightly warm weather. Results were great. Customer then wanted a quote to do his 2009 Toyota Sequoia (aka the white whale as I've named it) and when I told him the quote he was a bit shocked. Funny thing is I'm actually cutting him a deal since he has been a customer of mine for 8 years now and never really increased the prices I charged him for those 8 years. I wasn't charging enough to begin with and finally I had to raise it up.
Said customers brother works at a Volvo dealership and said he could have them do it for much less. I tried telling him I know what they won't do, I know what they will do to your paint and I can guarantee you that the results won't be what I do. He was mulling it over but I know he won't let me do it now simply because of the price. Oh well that's his choice to get his ride swirled to hell by hacks that don't know what the hell to use. Plus if it's the same clowns working there when I worked at Benz back in college, oh it's going to be epic. Might as well make some popcorn now.
And since that detail has since flushed down the toilet, I now have nothing to do on Wednesday. Not sure if I should work on the Jeep some more, wash the car or just relax. The work-a-holic in me is going 10,000 mph right now.
I never thought I would say this but I honestly can't wait until the 9-5 pays well enough that I don't need to detail anyone else's rides to make additional income besides my own and my better halfs. Sorry for the semi-rant. Still on my nerves a bit as I'm sure some of you can tell.
