I was asked to detail a van from 1999 that needed some TLC .
The owner said "it needs a bit of wax"
!!
When the owner came round for me to take a look at it i knew that i could not do this in 2 days or so !
This vehicle was BIG !
The condition of the paint was terrible ,heavily oxydized ,scratches everywhere,rough as sandpaper !
We agreed on 4days or perhaps 5 , because i was depending on weather conditions because it did'nt fit in my garage !
