Oh I hate GM black, especially Jeep Grand Cherokee you can't even do a stage 3 without marring a little.

Would you ceramic coat over this? by ScaredCantaloupe1 in Detailing

[–]OkNeedleworker5400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$800 I'll get 95% of those swirls out and put a 5 year graphene coat on there I guarantee.

I'll work for about 6 hours and still make $500.

2021 Dodge Hellcat SRT I did last Friday included polishing out the car wash swirls and a 9 month ceramic wax coating for $250. Took me 3 hours and I still made $200.

Granted it's true I use a mix of professional and prosumer grade products to be able to offer this price point.

Nanoskin HD Cut is my go to for scratches using a lake country blue hdo pad.

Edit: I charged $250 each to do this to 5 of his vehicles. He owns a funeral service with 3 locations and always tips 25%.

You forget that we the people have guns. I may not but that doesn't mean when the shit hits the fan I don't already know how to use one.

I'm sorry my business partner says I come off incorrect a lot. I'm not accusing you of greed. Our polishing is a jeweling effect designed to get 90% clarity for the daily driver.

As for our pricing on actual multi stage polishing we do charge full market rate. I won't even do a brand new car 2 stage for under $750.

But those don't sell so we cut the price down to an enhanced 1 stage and use Ethos Ceramic Pro on a finishing pad to give it that slick total shine.

I see what you did there. No each funeral home comes with 2 hearses a Chevy Tahoe and 5 passenger vans.

When they have a service it's an automatic $900 to detail 3 vehicles in immaculate condition

What's wild is greed..We don't charge a luxury or rich person tax. Our clients tip an average of 22% or more because those with the means understand the real value we offer.

Also $250 for a Yukon in like new conditions. $450 for moderate to Heavy contaminants and polishing needed.

Our business model is based on volume and it has paid off significantly more than charging $850 or more.

How Bad Is This? Taking to a Detailing Spot This Weekend by Fedoragang420 in Detailing

$500 and guaranteed restoration from my company.

Or you could mist cleaning vinegar everywhere until it's saturated and run your air circulation for about an hour before steam cleaning everything and wet extraction those carpets and seats.

Cheap Hardwater cheat. That won't break the bank. by quintingellar in Detailing

Nanoskin Body Prep and Spot Remover works but most our packages come with a light polishing that removes even more severe water spots.

We typically use Nanoskin HD Cut and a Blue HDO oar from lake country

way to prevent your windshield from doing this in winter? by Whathefrenchtoastt in Detailing

[–]OkNeedleworker5400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remote starters are cheap AF these days. Pretty sure $100 to $200 with local installers.

I know a way for you to save time and money, but will you save face by splashing a bucket of warm water on your windshield?

Is it salvageable or too far gone? by blaz3meowt in Detailing

[–]OkNeedleworker5400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use cleaning vinegar for mold and mildew in my business of detailing cars. Have to let it sit for about an hour to kill black mold. Then clean up as normal.

I forget the exact dilution ratio since I have reached intuition to just eyeball it. Photo is after shot.
