02 Accent

[Sal329]

This is a daily drive 2002 Accent with 160k on it. It looked really good from a distance. Once you get up close you can see it was swirled like no other. In the last 3 years it has never been properly washed. Driven through car washes and the "wax" of choice was Meguiars Quick Detailer wiped off with a cotton towel. Well onto the pics. One day I promise guys I will learn to take pictures. fficeffice" />

Thank you, yea too bad this and the Accord were freebies lol. I have some paying jobs lined up next week I hope. My sister works at the local Holiday Inn and has my business cards on the counter. The Walmart here is having a managers training so they have manager from all over driving here m-f and staying at the hotel. I recieved a call to wash and wax 6-9 cars. 3 of the people are interested in a full detail but not until the 5 weeks are up and they will not be driving back and forth and getting bug splatter on their cars they said. We shall see.
