So since I got my new truck a little while ago everyone hates that my truck is always so clean when I get to work on Monday mornings. So I explain how it doesn't take long to cleans because I keep it waxed and Clayed it when I first got it. So I did a girls truck I work with and it came out pretty good so now people are asking me how much to get it done. I say 25/hr and they kinda laugh but it's my time and I figure I'll charge what I want. I did this one this week in the evenings. All this started because I got a new truck and started to quit smoking. When i needed a smoke I would just go over the truck and clean anything I saw lol

People dont realize (do you canadiens spell is realise haha) how much effort, time, and $$$ it costs to properly take care of a vehicle. I have gotten the your outta you mind when people have asked me how much I would charge (I think its reasonable and probabaly way to low for pro detailers). They think you hose it off put some soap on it and dry it. WRONG!

 

Oh if you take car of your vehicle it can take that long. Rained at camarofest yesterday, well my car has never seen rain other than a drizzle. Went home grabbed 2 buckets filled with ONR and 45 min later it was looking great again, but this is because I take care of it.

I see people still using dish soap lol. The other thing is people don't (realise lol ) realize how much good products cost. I just stocked up and I spend a lot. But I want the good stuff and I'just use the money I make detailing to pay for it.

[RyanbabZ71]

Yep here is just a bit of what I have

On this one I used a maguires claybar to clay it then I waxed with mothers fx synwax. I like the wax and it last a long time and it's super easy to work with. I am trying out the auto glym products next I just invested over 200 bucks in it.I also use knockout for rail dust and break dust. And purple power for everything else. I used the autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care for the interior I'll post a bit in a bit and it dosent turn white if it get wet like armor all.

CAUTION IRRITANT

 

So if a nosey neighbor comes over to bother you, you can you "mace" him. Due purpose product. I like that haha

[thornmz71]

Haha. So true but I tried that yesterday on my seats and it works so good. Didnt get a chance to use it as a " mace" yet lol

Wanna come do mine?

i detail peoples cars occasionally, apparently paying me 45 to do a car and an extra 15-20 to wax is outrageous i tell them to go to the stealership and ask about their prices and then call me outrageous

Dealer gets $2xx in Jackson for a full detail including clay bar which I think is reasonable. I'll probably have them do that this fall once all the damn bugs die off since I can't wash the truck in my apt complex and in all reality even before I moved I sucked at it anyhow. I'll admit it- I love it when the truck looks good but I'm too damn busy/lazy to use what little free time I get to wash/wax it only to be dissapointed with the results.
