Just a few pics from recent details... 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

Initital Start Time: 9:30am
After first wash and clay...
After second wash and dried...
Before...
After...
Before...
After...
Bye bye burn out box...
Dried and ready for buffer prep...
Masked off...
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.

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.
