2003 Jeep Liberty Detail. How'd I do?

very nice transforamtion!!....you may want to consider getting a hot water extraction machine of some sort...you dont wanna leave any sort of chemical in that carpet, when it dries it will just attract more dirt!
 
I will NEVER understand how people can let their vehicles get in that kind of condition. You did an outstanding job on that Jeep. It is certainly in "sales" shape now, thanks to you.

Thanks for the compliments guys :) Unfortunately no tip...He is a friend, so I wouldnt expect it anyway. out of curiousity, what do you think a job like this would pay? I'll tell you what I got after a few responses, but, in my mind, I should've got 2x what I did had i not known him. It did take 10-11 hours in total. :)

Thats at least $300-350 detail.
 
Great DETAIL Chris !



Having had recent challenges in the carpet area, I'm impressed with how your carpets turned out. I'm thinking you might consider a wet/dry vac worth investing in for extraction.

Sounds about where I thought it should be for regular price. I would've probably quoted somewhere around 250-300 had I not known him. It's good to know what you guys think though, this way I have a good basis for one is similar condition for next time.



However, it does make what I got sting just a little. it was much less. :doh :bawling:

Thanks! I've been thinking more and more about picking one up. Is there one that is generally recommended by everyone? Anyone have experience w/ the Durrmaid 2 Gallon Hot Water Extractor?
 
For that area of the rear bumper I used optimum polish, ssr 2.5 and 1. At that point it was basically cleared up. I then applied the menz. glaze and wax. The remaining marks that you see are deep sections of missing clearcoat/maybe cutting into the paint too, something I obviously cant do anything about.

A friend of mine had inquired about where to get his car detailed since he was getting ready to sell it. I told him that I would be willing to take care of it for him at a discounted price. Little did I know you should look at the car before discounting any prices, lol. The car was a 2003 Jeep Liberty. Pen marks and stains on the front seats, blue marker or or something on the rear seats, and both front and back suffering from some pretty bad discoloration/dirt. Every area of the carpet was pretty dirty. Stains, dirt, wine stains and the like were everywhere. Exterior was in pretty bad shape as well. The clay bar had trouble moving even w/ the clay lube! He had also been bumped into, so there was some paint transfer along w/ some missing clear coat (which he’ll obviously have to get repainted). Anyway, here’s the pics. Let me know what you think! ( I wish I had taken more/better pics of the before, and probably could’ve used some better after pics as well, but hey, I’m no photographer 



Process was the usual, vacuum, prestone/stoners/303 fabric cleaner for the carpets. Seats had to get lexol, 303 and even some p21s total care to remove the marker stains! Doors/panels was also taken care of by the p21s. Exterior was a wash/clay/wash/ssr2.5, ssr1, menz glaze, then used some pinnacle sov carnuba to top it off. I used some menz. Polish on the paint transfer as well to help remove that. Well, again, let me know how I did  :usa

where do you buy these supplies at?



prestone/stoners/303 fabric cleaner/lexol, p21s
 
i picked up the prestone at pep boys. The rest I bought from Brett at ocdgarage.com I've had nothing but great experiences purchasing through him. Plus he's close, so I get the stuff next day :spot
 
Looks great...(except the wheels)....



The wheels look like they needed some "Muriatic Acid" (sp?).... Steel wheels like that love it!



Otherwise.... awesome... I cant believe you did the interior carpets without a a shopvac!! thats insane and A LOT of work! Maybe the reason why it took you 10-11 hours........



When you start getting the same job done in 6-7 hours you're Hired!!
