Big "A" on the road in Stramford CT

They're waiting for me!



We arrived at the customers house a little past 10:00am yesterday, Sunday 7/12/09.
We packed the entire shop into my truck, even took the air compressor!
We had to make an emergency run to the local Auto Zone for some Lexol products& some tire gel.
At around 11:00am we got back to the garage & got started on the M3:

06 BMW M3 convertible

Interior Shampoo:
mild citrus cleaner
Lexol leather cleaner
Lexol leather conditioner

Exterior Detail:
Optimum Polish
1Z Einszett Glanz Wax - hand applied
Lusso Oro Wax - hand applied

The convertible top was cleaned with a mild citrus cleaner & treated with a fabric guard protectant product.

02 Ferrari 575M Maranello
We saved the worst car for last, not sure why we did that.
This car was in the back of the garage, in the corner screaming for some Big "A" LUV!
I didn't have time to take lots of pics. I did get a few shots of the hood & passenger side quarter panel just to show you how bad the car was. Every single panel was covered with heavy swirls, towel marks & light scratches! I spent the most time on this one, I guess that's why I saved it for the last car on the night?

thank you. me & john arrived at the customers house by 10am. we were short on a few things like car soap & tire gell so the customer lead the way to autozone. by 11am me & johnny started on the first car. i forgot which one it was but we saved the worst car for last. the worst car was the ferrari. by the time we were all packed up it was 1am. we made a stop at dunkin donuts & headed on the highway back to queens. i dropped johnny off at his home in jamaica queens then headed to my place to catch up on some sleep. it was 230am when i put my head on the pillow.

18hrs is too much. i do about 12-14 hrs a day & thats more than enough. once 9pm hits my body starts to tell me it cant continue working so i usually call it a night around 10pm lol.
after about the 12th hr thats when mistakes can happen.

hard work pays off though. i love to work. :rock:
