First "Real" detail - MB E320

[Shineworks10]

This is my first "real" client. I've done numerous friends and family's cars before but nothing as intensive as this. I showed up thinking it was going to be mostly exterior work but soon find out the client is only concerned with the interior. I haven't done much interior work in the past so I was a bit nervous but decided to give it a try with extra caution. Any pointers or tips on ways I could have done a better job would be greatly appreciated since I am new to this and still learning.

Enough talking, here are some pictures ...

Afters:

I also gave the client a quick courtesy wash. I figure a happy client is a returning client. :biggrin:



Also, what would be reasonable price for a job like this?



C&C welcome...

Man, that's gross. Nice job turning it around!

It actually came out very nice. The only recommendation that I would have is to invest in some leather conditioner, as the leather still looks a little dry and malnurished. Something along the lines of Leatherique or Leathermaster. Other than that, I think you did a nice job.



As far as price, it all depends on your geographical/economic region. You have to calculate in your time, and products (overhead). Also, keep in mind, the more you do, the better you will get and the better you get, the easier it will be, and there will be less overhead (no trying many different products/techniques), so your profit will increase. Don't undersell yourself, though.
