The meets vary from places to places. We like to meet up and eat so we'll pretty much go where ever there's good food.

I do all my waxing/ buffing by hand, that may be why I am much cheaper. I don't think I will ever detail with an orbital, I have tried it and I just love doing it by hand. I know for a fact my polishing/scratch removal compounds are not as effective by hand as they would be by an orbital.

As far as food goes, I eat about 7 meals a day so I am always down for food

But really, I am charging basically $10 an hour, a little more for package 4 because of the expensive supplies required. After paying for all the supplies and tallying up all the gas used, I make minimum wage with this job.

Most detailers are not willing to do that, therefore to make a living they charge $200 a job. I do not do this to make a living, I'm in highschool still and I do it because I really enjoy doing it. I need about $30 a week for my extra meals too

^ Like the other Randy said (my name is Randy too ) let us know when you're in LA area and willing to do some cars. I'm probably gonna help you with the process too.

I'll let you know next time we do dinner together. I'm planning to do an all you can eat Korean BBQ soon. Are you down with that?

Joe - Did you ever sell your car? You should just keep it and put the wheels you've always wanted on it!

I actually have never been to a Korean BBQ but that sounds good to me. Like I said, I like food , and im not picky at all. I'm even down with a plate full of spinach if you put it in front of me

legitsnowe39 - I'll let you know next time we have an ETG at a Korean BBQ place. It's worth the drive!

Joe - Glad you got everything figured out and keeping the car. I was gonna say I don't know you anymore without the Audi.
Are you planning to keep those stock wheels and tires when you get a new set. I'm asking because those stock wheels & tires may be worth something if you wanna sell them. Especially with the close to new tires.
