    Can`t wait. Finally a change of pace. Perfect timing as well, since the weather was going to be horrible tomorrow. I planned on a day off, but since this will be inside, I couldn`t help but jump all over it.

    Congrats on landing this job Tex Star

    I saw a med-vac helicopter that was on display here for the public to view this past summer. Man, that thing was a wreck, scraped up, faded out, dirty windows, you name it

    It bothered me so bad I considered offering my services for free as they do alot of good work in are area....After I thought about it more, my desire to volunteer faded. Besides, thy are a For Profit company and so am I

    Look forward to your after pics

    Re: Helicopter...

    Well, finished up the helicopter.
    Interior was pretty straight forward. Leather cleaning and conditioning. Carpet shampooing and so on....
    Exterior was polished with Menz. SIP and Spray waxed. I was going to do a quick one step, but thought it would look better if I did a polish on it.

    Good news, I brought my camera
    Bad News, I forgot the memory card at home.
    Worse news, I was still able to only take 3 pics, but cannot download them since I cannot find my cord.

    The gentleman took tons of pics, and said he will email them to me. He even got me polishing it, well, holding up a buffer to it. Hope he does, because I want them for the website.......

    I started a little after 9, I would say a little closer to 9:30 and finished up around 4. I had a friend (another mobile detailer, Dust to Glory) show up at 1 to help with the polishing.
