$8800 detailing - Page 2

RenoG · 03-13-07, 02:21 PM

Yeah I heard of this guy he's good. He's obviously passionate about cleaning and theres nothing wrong with that even more so when it comes to exotic cars. With the price of the products he uses he'd have to charge 8k to make a profit. In the end those of us who detail for hobby or for business can criticize all we want but its what the car looks like at the end of the day that counts. If the people will pay for it why not. They bought a 2-300k car when they could have bought a 20-40k car so it makes sense that they would pay 8k when they could have paid someone like me 200-500 bucks.

You know? I spend about 800 a month to clean my car, all by hand....5000 a job? That better include this guys woman giving me a 'job, for about an hour.

This almost sounds like what Joey goes thru when he details a car - stay out of his way once he closes the garage door. (except I refuse to front him
$10K for supplies like the Brit uses). Just ask Craig (C-Dog91LS) how fanatical SmokinfastLegend is when he details,....Scary !!!!

I have spent all day on my legend similar to this. Wash twice, claybar, wax, another wax, detail spray. come back out and detail spray dust off. all this work to rain the next day. but i actually enjoy this, I wish i got paid for it.

dgandul · 09-14-07, 11:02 PM

if u had him clean your $100,000+ car the tiny amount of $8800 dollar really is nothing... repost tho.
