Somebody Pinch Me - 06-09-2009, 04:38 PM
Got a dream account today.

Started doing some work for a property management company and the first account they had me work on is unbelieveable!

I worked in this guys warehouse today. It was loaded up with two black porsches, a black escalade, a jacked up black excursion, 2 all black semi tractor trailers, 4 custom chopper style bikes, 2 black horse trailers and a classic car that I didn't get a good enough look at to tell you what it was (dark red). These are just some of his toys. I'm going to his house tomorrow to work on more. He has a porsche, ferrari and Bentley among others at the house.

The best part is all of them look like crap. All marred up and just begging for me to show my stuff.

They had mentioned this guy has flown his detailer here from one of his other houses in DC to take care of some of these cars. I don't know who it was but they don't know anything about paint polishing I can tell you that.

I'm betting I will be flying to DC soon to work on his fleet there after he sees my work.

They didn't tell me who this guy was and I didn't feel right about taking pictures just yet. I promise if I get permission I will post up some pics.

That is what I get for buying nothing but Black vehicles.

50 years of truck driving had nothing to do with it.

It is as long as they don't get cheap on me. I did the Escalade and the Excursion today but they only wanted the Escalade polished out. I'm guessing it was more of a time issue than a money thing I hope. Both were well waxed but in severe need of paint correction.

Black is only a nightmare to guys who can't polish paint and I know that's not you.

I myself will probably never own a black daily driver but might have my own warehouse similar to this one some day.
