That looks great, ever think about doing a CHARITY job??? -Rob Sure... all the time... its a religious charity... you give me money and worship the ground I walk on while saying things like "Holy Shit" and "OH MY GOD" after I restore your paint.

I don't do mobile. This is a side gig for me... I retired from mobile detailing years ago. I have a day job, a 9 month old baby, a wife who thinks I spend too much time on cars as it is. If you truly are interested just bring the vehicle to me and I'll take care of you, but I just don't have enough time and theres not enough money in it for me to drive around and detail in the field. To answer the questions about charges: For SSS.com forum members I charge a base rate of $125 - this includes: Complete wash & Claybar Basic paint correction using a machine (PC 7424) Basic polishing products (DER Stuff) Paint sealing & protection (DER Shiney or Optimum) Basic cleaning and polishing of the wheels + sealer Exterior trim & tire dressing Glass cleaning Interior vaccum & dressing + leather conditioner if applicable A little extra is charged if you want hot water extraction to remove any upholstery or carpet stains. *for most guys who are into their truck this is enough... if you take good care of your stuff, have put a couple of coats of wax in the past and especially if you don't have black this process will be sufficient to get a great shine and deep look on your paint. For the process that was done on the Avalanche you're looking at $300+/- this includes: Complete wash & claybar Full paint correction using the machine Premium polishes Multiple passes including additional steps for added depth and shine Paint sealing and protection (MSW + optiseal) Exterior trim, wheel well, & tire dressing Engine compartment detail + dressing Undercarriage pressure wash/steam clean Cleaning and polishing of wheels + sealer Interior shampoo + hot water extraction if needed Leather conditioner and protectant Glass cleaning (and polishing if needed) Dressings & complete interior detail I need the car/truck anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on the process and condition its in. Anyone who is interested is welcome to stick around and learn the process or at the very least have a couple beers. I don't mind if you don't stay around... I actually work faster when theres no one there to BS with. As with anything the condition and the amount of work required to get the results you want will effect the price, and there are middle ground prices too... these are just the 2 ends of the spectrum. I do really enjoy educating people on the RIGHT ways to wash and car for their car so the prices I'm charging are enough to cover my supplies and my time (as I have so little of it lately) but its also a great excuse to hang out with other truck guys. Also, if you already have a preferred polish regiment, but want to learn how to eliminate (or at least limit) the amount of swirls and scratches you see between waxes I can do a basic wash, teach you the process, and demo the products you'll need to do it. Think of it as WASHING 101 class... I can do that for $40 and that will make a world of difference for most people... it usually only takes an hour or two also. you you'd deserve it.. it was just my idea any hoo... come to chicago (jedi mind trick attempt).. my zaino package will be here tomorrow.. come to chicago.... (jedi mind trick attempt #2) dont think its werkin.. I have a sudden urge to visit the windy city Edited August 14, 2007 by Dylan06SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
