Another great detailing story for you guys!

Alright, so while digging through supplies today in order to detail a customers car, I found out that I was running low on Lexol, so I decided to make a run to Pep Boys to pick some up. Unfortunately my car was blocked in so I had a friend pick me up to go there. On the way back, we get pulled over for doing 18 above the speed limit. So the officer tells him to step out of the car and asks what he was doing. He tells the officer that he was taking me to Pep Boys to buy some supplies because i'm a detailer. The officer then comes over to the window and starts telling me about his 88 Blazer and how he wants it detailed because he's going to sell it. Me and the officer carry on a conversation about detailing for about 10 minutes and then I gave him my business card and took down his name and made an appointment to have his car detailed. All this while being pulled over for speeding. My friend got out of the ticket and I got another customer! Moral of the story, never miss a business opportunity!
