I did a full detail of my car over the weekend and it took over 6 hours. And it's already getting pollen on it that I have to clean off every day after school

Looks good weems. Almost that time of year to break out the buffer... We're nearing 50 degree weather up here look out.

zinc02GT · March 12th, 2009, 01:43 AM

Man if I told someone $115 for a FULL detail they'd run off...

I claybarred, polished, waxed, and compeltely detailed the interior of my step grandmothers Nissan Altima for only $65.

Dansby · March 12th, 2009, 01:50 AM

Exactly. I know how to detail a car (worked at a full service car wash for over a year) but I could never got someone to pay that much for it.

MyGT · March 12th, 2009, 07:16 AM

how the hell did you get $115 out of that job?

1FastFox · March 12th, 2009, 08:44 AM

$115 is not out of the ordinary for a full detail. I do it for a few people around the office for $100. I think its fun to show people what their car can look like when its actually taken care of properly ( plus I get to drive around in their car for the day and they have some pretty sweet rides ).

XTCNAGT · March 12th, 2009, 08:48 AM

People who actually KNOW what goes into a full detail job are willing to pay that...some pay more.

I got $250 to do a friend's Merc when I was in High School.

Weems what equipment do you use?

You would be surprised what people would pay for paint correction.

That's where people get confused. Hand cleaning and polishing a car is NOT detailing it. I am talking paint correction. The car above was not paint corrected and it was still $115. All that above was a wash, single step polish, seal, and the interior cleaned. My works speaks for itself, and just like everything else in life, you get what you pay for.

Once again, working at a car wash is NOT detailing. Come talk to me when you do a paint correction. If I would have done a FULL detail on that car, it would have been $300+.

Haha, well the VW isn't anything like that

A mixture, but mostly I use a Mikata rotary and a PC with various pads and Menzerna and Adams polishes, sealants, ect.

The above I used Dodo Juice Blue Velvet for the final wax.

Dansby · March 12th, 2009, 11:54 AM

No, I didn't put the information I should have in that post. I worked as a detailer AT a car wash, haha. Should have clarified.

I understand that, but your idea of detailing and my idea is not the same thing. I consider a detail almost a 2 day job of paint correction, ie. minor scratches removed or blended, no swirls what so ever, full sealant, ect. Once you do a full detail, you will understand why it is so expensive.

Dansby · March 12th, 2009, 12:06 PM

Ah well, congrats on a job well done, haha.

Flynnster · March 12th, 2009, 12:12 PM

Man i only charge $50 for everything but correction (no PC last year).
