And all this time I heard you had to spend money to make money

The only time that’ll be true for me is in October when I drop a pretty penny to have to raid tank repainted. And then after it’s repainted then I can tell my customers yeah look at how badass my truck looks cuz I’m a badass detailer... then the money spent will make me money.... :p

So I picked up a new client at the beginning of June with a 2020 platinum edition Escalade. Absolutely beautiful truck, and she’s consist, having me detail every two-three weeks. Anyways her truck has what’s called maple sugar interior. A nice tan setup. And her gear shifter looks awesome. It’s tan and no chrome bit on the end. I was like I need to get me one of those!! So after almost a month of back and forth with a seller on eBay sending me the wrong colored item(super irritating) I finally got the right one. It’s in and I love the look! That was the shifter mod I mentioned.

Also did another steering wheel but this time I tried a different leather dye tactic and I actually really like it. Picked up a kit from a company called leather world technologies. It’s a liquid spray dye and the color came out really good. A little rough on the backside where some drips formed but no biggie. Like I have said before, my skills aren’t totally perfect when it comes to this kind of project. I also decided to do darker colored grips since I did a really dark colored carbon fiber wrap on the console pieces over the factory grey. Still gotta decided how I’m gonna do the main dash bezel but for now that’ll have to wait. More pressing issues to attend to.....

Very nice! So you have a 2020 shifter in your NBS now..? I guess we know those are compatible too..!
