Pirate Detailing - 03-31-2010, 07:36 PM

Had a great day today! Spent the day detailing at the Pittsburgh Pirates spring training facility. The manager of the Pirates called me a couple months back and had me detail his car at his home. I thought that was cool especially when he told me he would tell the players about me. Well today he invited me to the field to do his Escalade. I did another one while I was there which made for the perfect day.

The weather was perfect....
Had nice cars to detail....
Working in a nice park like atmosphere....
and what really made it special was Mr. Russell (John) had one of their staff cater to me the whole day. He kept bringing me drinks, surprised me with a nice hot lunch hand delivered to me....
basically treated me like one of the players. I could definitely get used to that!

Anyways, here are some pics. Only after shots. I wasn't in the mood to get crazy with the camera today and besides they were in pretty good shape to start with. I got lots of compliments and they plan to have me back.
