Well, after my recent posts about wanting to detail cars with micromarring, swirls or oxidation, it finally happened. :045:



Today my first car came through, he came up from Virginia this morning to visit his GF's sister for the next two days. Arrived here at around 10:00AM; got to work at 10:30-10:45.



Full Exterior Detail $250 with a 30% discount = $175



Wash with ONR (rinseless baby!)

Claybar with Sonus SFX clay

Meguiar's Final Inspection as lube

Meguiar's M80 polish

Optimum Car Wax

P21s wax

Dressings (tires, all exterior plastics)



As she arrived...

Look closely by the lights on the left and on the right :002: Swirls on the right, none on the left.

Totally finished, after wax and everything.

Customer came around 3:50PM and was ecstatic. Turned out great. :023:

5.5-6 hours, wasn't too bad. It was exterior only. I've had some cars come in with less work needed than this and take more time.



Was definitely a good car to work on, really showed improvement after 1 pass, and was near perfect after the 2nd.
 
Your time sounds about right for the paint being that bad.



Really nice turnaround, very noticeable in the half/half shot. :)
 
BTW; I was so excited knowing this really is what I want to do throughout my college years and perhaps even longer after that! I'm talking to my sister about getting her boss (lawyer) to get me an LLC.
