You're on your way.

so far it's going pretty good,i have done about 15 cars in this past week. Have made enough money to recoup my start up cost,including 500 i paid for the van. Just got a super cheap black and decker polisher off craigslist for 5 dollars. Will give it a shot toommrow and will see how the paint will come out.Have a porter cable 7424 next week,can't wait!!

You know instead of getting it painted.... Maybe you should invest in one of those vehicle "wraps" and put logs/phone numbers for your detailing business on it.....

Looking good man. Keep up the good work, you'll have it back in shape before you know it. Nothing like hot August to be working outside.

You know you need that exhaust to give it a lil more grunt carrying all that stuff. Maybe a carbon fiber hood that won't rust and save weight? :-({|= Lol, I kid I kid.
