    I was called last night asking if I could wash another RV. This RV is owned by the RV shops customer from England, they come over here a few times a year and pick up the RV and cruise around. It just had a radiator put in and was sitting in storage, it was not bad very dusty and had black streaks all over. The shop opend at 8 and I was told they needed this done no later then 2pm, which was great for me I had an interview at 2, I needed be out by 12:30 to be home and shower lol. Last 2 RV's I did took me 4 hours each. 8am I arrived, then found out they need to move the RV, 45 minutes later the RV was ready for me to work on it. I have no before pics beacause I needed to start ASAP. The front was covered in bugs, this was the longest part of the wash.

    Washed the RV with ONR and 1 ounce of FK 1016, to me this adds more gloss I have only used this for washing RV's
    Black streaks pre treated with SC Grime Destroyer diluted 1:1
    Windows cleaned with Zep Professional glass cleaner
    Wheels cleaned with SCGD and ONR
    Tires cleaned with MS SGS and ONR
    Tires treaked with FK 350
    Exhaust tip HUGE lol was cleaned with NXT all metal polish

    Well after a late start I was done at 12:15, as soon as I loaded up my car the customer was there to pick up. I over heard him talking with the shop owner and he was impressed with the wash, he said he could not imagine the aftermath of a detail. Well I had to hurry home for my interview which I was on time for.

    So your willing to relocate for a new job...I know there are places here in SW Ohio that are hiring..

    If this takes you only 4 hours, do you charge them by the hour, or a flat rate?? Good turn around time on a vehicle that large!

    I know that Home Depot has a new Distribution center here, in Monroe Ohio. We also are having built the largest Outlet Mall in Amercia and if you have management experience, that would be a good oppurtunity..All kinds of factories around here too...Alot of new Hospitals also if you are in that line of work.

    Thank you everyone.

    I was working for BMW since 2000, selling parts. In every dealer I was at I was always the one with the highest gross. Nothing has been happening in Charlotte for me. I have had a call from Shreveport LA and Houston TX. Now just trying to save up to go there. As I was waitin I had a call back from a dealer in Greensboro NC that is looking for a serive advisor, something I wanted to do. I went on Monday (2 hrs away) then was called on Tues at 11:15 am asking if I could make it there by 2pm. So I went up and met with the big boss, waiing for a call back. Yesterday I had an interview here at Carmax as a salesperson. One of the lamest interviews I have ever been to.

    Me too then maybe we could get together and talk shop when I'm in Greensboro in September! And a great job on the RV. I see as you have gotten your method down you are really shaving time off the detail and that means more $$ for you.

    Thanks JL. 99.9% sure about the job in Greensboro. The dealership owns a lot of dealers from NJ down to FL. They have a Honda store here in Charlotte so I will be there tomorrow in the AM to take my drug test. I will be driving to ATL sunday to take my stepson to the airport then on Monday my fiance, my 3 yr old and I will be goin up to Greensboro to look at some apartments. Thank you everyone for the support. Now time to start advertising my mobile serive in the area lol just when I started to get clients here in Charlotte.
