Default Pic/ First Aircraft detail

I detailed a Porsche 911 Turbo for a guy and when he picked it up and saw it he asked if I would detail his plane. I told him I never did a plane before, and he said "Great, this will be your first". So I drove out to look at it first, and thought it might be interesting. I enjoyed the experience, the only exception is that doing the under body was really hard work. He was so pleased with how the plane turned out that he asked for a stack of my business cards to pass out at the airport. I guess I just entered a new world. How do you like that instrument panel?

I would of but I didn't know where to put the key?????
One thing I forgot to mention was the owner briefted me on the do's and don't /after that I felt I knew enough to fly it. For example, the windows require special cleaner and towels so as not to scratch. The prop and engine assembly is a no no, STAY AWAY!!!! had to stay clear of the static vents on the outside of the plane. Had to know exactly where to step and not to. Oh, make sure the wheels were shimmed so the plane would not roll over me when I was under it.
I guess you could say my business is taking off!!!!!!!!!!![^][?][:X]

Here's a question to get our heads out of the clouds for a moment. What's the worst piece of crap that you've ever had to detail?[]

I would have to say it was a construction truck used for work. This thing had a coating of dust in the entire cab. I mean it was in the seats/ vents/ console/ everywhere. Everytime I vacuumed dust kept on coming up from under the carpet. It was a night mare. The outside looked almost as bad as the pic bigdog posted. That thing still haunts me. Gary[xx(][:0]
