Snakebit detailing.


OK, so this weekend I did my first car. My camera isn't the greatest but its all I had tell me what you think.










And all the products I use.


The pictures really don't do this job justice, the car was absolutely beautiful in person. But I charged $75 for it The guy was happy with it.

Ever get a bad feeling in your stomach? Don't know what I mean. Eat taco bell and wait 20 minutes.

Go hourly, or charge by the sections i.e. engine bay, full interior, exterior, wheels, etc. You are workin too hard for too little. May as well work in a sweat shop at those rates. It would be a steal to pay 125.00-150.00 for everything you did.

Sub out that Windex w/ an automotive glass cleaner - just my $.02. The best ones are Stoner's and Rain-X, both available at Wal Mart.
