Wow, I'm seriously considering updating my hourly rate after this one guys. This was a full exterior/interior detail without paint correction. I wish I took more pictures of the rear interior, it was horrid. This is the hauler for two show dog boxers, enough said.



Process:



Wash: Poorboy's Slick and Suds.

Clay: Meguiars.

Wax: Migliore: Original Paste Wax.

Trim: Migliore: Brilliant Trim Dressing.

Wheels: Migliore: Wheel Seal.

Tires: Migliore: Bella Lustra Tire Shine.





I had the request that the windows be spotless and streak free. As you can see they were covered in dog slobber:

Full Detail? You didn't even polish or use a paint cleaner.



It looks good regardless.

Really :hmph:? I consider a full detail inside and out. Not many of my customers opt for polishing or compounding, especially a car that's going to be trashed in a matter of days.. My PC mostly stays tucked away :).
 
Okay, so no polish or cleaner before the LSP...?

What about the interior, it appears you vaccumed - did you shampoo/extract carpet - upholstery? What did you use on the vinyl? Did you touch the engine?

I'm not trying to be hard on you - just that your write up is missing details.

It's not missing details :D. This was a $100 job :help:. The customer did not want any of the service you listed above. The interior was dusted, vacuumed, cleaned with an APC, the cargo pad in the last picture was dressed with the Trim Protectant.



I wish I remembered to take before and after pictures of rear mudflaps. I literally had to scrub them down with an APC, the letterng "Outback" was brown rather than gold.
 
i don't think you should raise the price at all. I work on cars like that and it seems very normal. I get A LOT worse than that. You can't expect someone to bring you a semi clean car.
