haha jeez wow.
I'm curious if you'd be willing to do a job for me CU2MIKE!
Dead serious, how much would you be interested?
I was thinking about buying the stuff myself but seeing as you're plenty stacked already!

As long as you are down in So Cal, lol.
I've been doing FR-S for the past 3 weeks now, I'm sure one more wouldn't hurt :p.

Yeah!
I go to UCSB and I signed up for summer sessions A and B.
I understand that this doesn't get done overnight really but I'm curious how much time/day(s) you need.
Classes are Mon-Thurs only so I can drive down to LA and check out what it is that you do - I'm really curious what steps you do and considering you have multiple of everything I'd like to see the process.
I've always wanted to know what's done but now I can actually see somebody doing it that enjoys making a car look darn good!

Would have gone with Meguiar's or Menzerna, and Lake Country for pads. Each to their own. You will still get a great result nonetheless.

haha it was actually her idea. i was initially planning on having it detailed once every few months, but she suggested that I learn to do it myself and eventually make the money back by doing it for others =P

I'll spend half a grand quite quickly-- but not on stuff like that.
