Default Have a cool detail to do!!!

I will start at the beginning. A couple Friday's ago I took my 06 GTO up to the local car meet here in Port Saint Lucie. After I got there a nice looking Pontiac G8 GT pulled in. So I went over and introduced myself and we started talking and what not. I noticed he had a Florida G8 car club sticker on his window, so I asked about the club. He told me to go on there Facebook page and introduce myself and my GTO. So later that night I did just that. I posted a few pics and told them about how I wet sanded it etc etc.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon. I get a message on FB from the editor of High Performance Pontiac Magazine in Tampa FL. After some back and forth, it turns out he has the first Pontiac G8 built Vin# 1 !!!! It has 700 miles on it and he is getting ready to sell it. After seeing my GTO he wants me to come to there facility and do a detail/photo shoot on the G8 for the magazine/website showing the steps and the car off. As of now we have a date set for May 18th. He said the car black and has been stored indoors and is in nice shape but never really has had a nice detail besides a wash/wax. I know that what a non-detailer and a detailer think look good are 2 totally different things. But he said that the car doesn't have any surprises.

After some more back and forth with the editor I will be using Meguiars products for this detail. Mainly because they have an in with them so they will be advertising for Meguiars too. Good news is I sent a list of all the Meguiars products I will need for the job so he is getting them for me to use and I will get to keep it at the end plus getting paid. Win win.

I thought I would share and ask you guys wish me luck as this is going to be a totally different experience for me!!!
