Hey guys,

I've been busy lately. I figured I would post a few exterior pics up of my latest victims...

The girlfriend's car...





My daily driver...



My buddy's show camaro (991 points after detail at Winternationals)







My other friend's camaro...







My roommate's car...



...and that was just one week. LoL

 

What do you use to detail?

 

what do you charge for an average detail? full wash, buff, interior, engine bay, all that? also what products do you use? any before pics of these cars? always take before pics just to show what you were working with!!!!

 

I use a Flex polisher, Menzerna Intensive Polish with a LC orange pad, Menzerna Nano Polish with a white LC pad, Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant with a red LC pad, Menzerna Paint Glaze with a red LC pad, Pinnacle Carnuba wax by hand.

As for the before and afters, I have a few.

Time for lunch. 12:45pm.

Started buffing at 1:00pm.

After the first pass... 3:00pm







After the second pass...5:00pm





After Wax...(DONE) 6:00pm









Finish time: 6:15pm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the cost of a full detail, it depends on the car. Generally I start around $150.00 and it goes up from there. If the car is very dirty, it costs more. If there is rubber in the wheel wells, it costs more. If the interior is very dirty...you guessed it...it costs more.

 

wow, nice work

 

looks good

 

Great detailing work, wish i lived closer id pay you to get my camaro shining like that.

 

that looks great

 

Damn man, how many years did it take you to develop your skill at detailing? I start to lose patience after an hour of detailing my own damn car.

 

I've only been detailing for about 3 years total.

I've only been charging for details and doing them for other people for the past year or so.

It's not hard to do. It just takes patience.

 

Ok ok ok you drive a hard bargain but its worth it. I'll give you $175 to come to Louisiana and do my car. But thats all im paying you!!!!


Very nice work man.

 

Nice job on all.

 

what did you use on the old rubber? degreaser/all purpose and a bunch of elbow grease?

 

good work

 

Nice work man, you do a great job...

Don

 

Outstanding job !!!

 

Really nice work!

Do you by any chance have other pics of that silver Camaro that show the whole car?

 

A lot of this and learning from the results you see on the surface.
