First Aircraft Detail/pic

[turbomangt]

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 can only hope and dream that one day you get the opportunity to work on a vintage warplane! P-51 Mustang Preferably

Nice work!

Be careful, next thing you know you'll be doing boats!

Boats won't be that big a deal...I am waiting for someone who gets one of those cards to pass it on to a corp exec with a REAL business jet...I mean a Boeing one!

Line up the cases of product and Flexall (afterward) for that baby!!

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.
