    2 Detailed Porche Racers

    If you`ve read my post called `what would you bid this job at?"
    http://www.detailcity.com/forums/sho...&threadid=4634
    It was about detailing a trailer. I bid the job high because I couldn`t get there to see it first. Anyways, the job turned out to be easy and I made out pretty good on the deal. The guy was so happy with the job and the service that he had me come out to do two of the racers. Just goes to show that its not how much you charge as long as you provide value to your customer.

    Pretty friggin cool cars. Much more fun to work on than a suv or minivan. The red one had over 500hp. The black stuff all over the body`s is melted rubber that fly`s off high performance tires during racing. Not easy to get off. AIO worked ok but Goof Off was really the key, did a nice job. The red one was difficult because it has no windows and I couldn`t wash it with the pressure washer. They came out real nice considering all the road rash on the hoods and bumpers. The owner has been paying his son to detail the cars since he started racing 3 years ago. He said that he thought the rubber wouldn`t come off and was very impressed with the results. He promissed me all of his business. He wants all five cars detailed after every race, each car races 3-5 times a year.

    I second Beemerboy`s recommendation. I visited a Porsche racing facility with Poorboy`s Steve, and one of the mechanics easily removed melted rubber with Pro Polish on a Kleenex (yes, the facial tissue). There was a fun thread about this experience, but I think it was lost in the "pushed the wrong button" event.

    The yellow one was easier because it had windows and I could use the Pressure washer.

    Yellow car
    Wash / Goof off around the whole vehicle / clay / wash again / Compound with heavy cut / polish / machine glaze / wax had to be very carefull because of all the vinyl decals

    Red car again no windows
    used about 15 wet towels to clean / Goof off / clay / rinse with water in spray bottle and more towels / Compount / polish / glaze / wax

    I did make it a point to put a bug in the owners ear about how I`d love to drive one. He said he`d be happy to let me take one for a spin. Has to be on a track though, cars aren`t street legal. Real nice guy, I think I made a very positive impression.

    And thanks guys for the tip on the PoorBoys polish. I`ve been here long enough now that I`ve just got to try some of PB`s stuff.

    Last note: My wife says yesterday, What are you always doing on that website? I told her and she viewed some threads where I`ve posted. She said "damn, you are the longest winded person in all of those threads"

    Sorry folks, I`ll try to be more brief going forward!
