I met a guy via a local import car club who works at a honda dealership just down the street from my house. He saw the pics of the other rides in the club i`ve detailed so wanted to see what i could do for his early-mid 90`s honda civic SI (hatchback one). I went down there this morning and he set me up in an empty bay. The car had what i would call a friend of a friend`s cheap backyard paint job. It had really ugly hash patters in some spots... where you can see it wasn`t sanded properly after it was painted.. just not smooth. After a little inspection i told him i believe those marks were in the paint under the clearcoat, thus harder to get to. He said that was fine and he wasn`t expecting much.
While i was detailing it i had about 7 of the people working there come by and watch for a while. I even had the guy who was on duty doing the `detailing` there ask me if i knew what those `circle thinggies` in the clear coat are and how to get rid of them... (i`m going there wensday to remove the swirls from his pontiac). It was fun... doing it there i got another 6 jobs lined up for next week. And he was really impressed with his car... after 2 layers of klasse and a layer of souveren, the numerous imperfections in the paint didn`t really matter. All in all it was fun. Gave me more of an idea how the stealerships work... and now i`m even more set on not letting them touch my car (to clean it at least)
