    I agree. Definitely need a means for the customers to get their money while they're at your place.

    I think he was referring to Troy's new shop. But it isn't opened up to the public yet, so it doesn't count. :p

    Nice looking store you have there. I bet the ATM makes it easier to up-sell.

    We recently did a full paint restoration on an original 1959 Cadillac. The paint was original 53-year-old paint. This is one of several cars that we will be doing that were recently purchased from an estate. It is a very cool car, full power windows, doors, seats, and original working air-conditioning! They sure don't make them like they used to. We spent about one week polishing this car and the results speak for themselves. Our major concern was how frail and thin the paint was. In many spots you can actually see the metal underneath the paint, we had to do several very light passes and inspect the paint after every pass. Sorry we have no pictures of us in our golf shirts posing with the paint thickness gauge and white silk gloves as we were spending more time detailing the actual car! LOL. So here was our process! You will notice we did not have to use 30,000 products, just a simple plan of attack and many hours.


    1. Wash with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss
    2. Several applications of Iron X Soap Gel
    3. Using both The Porter Cable Polisher and The Griot’s Polisher
    4. Menzerna Intensive Polish on a white pad (about 6-10 light passes)
    5. Menzerna Final Finish 3000 on a black pad (several passes)
    6. Zymol Ebony by hand. This wax contains a dye which really helped give the car its wetness and depth back.
    7. Busch Chrome Polish on all Chrome.
    8. Wellworth Crystal Clear glass cleaner on all windows.

    as you can see the paint was badly stained and etched, cracked and shrunk but there was still some original paint underneath that we were just dying to expose!

    There was a car, that Coupe de Ville, quality throughout. Rode as smoothly as a bus. Nice restoration you did.
