Saw a sign yesterday that made me chuckle. I will try to get a picture of it later. It was a cardboard, neon green, handwritten sign that read "Just say NO to 3 digit details" :shocked Had a number listed.



I was on my way to detail some cars for, OMG, 3 digits!



Guess this also goes with Scottwax's oxidized, swirled, auto detailing car.
 
you should call the number and get very technical on him. i did that once to a salesmen trying to sell wax. he got pretty bitter when people began to walk away because he had no idea what he was talking about.
 
That's hilarious. I laughed when I ask a local detailer what his going rates were and he quoted me $120 for "washing, compounding, waxing all that stuff". I asked him what brand of chemicals he uses, I didn't recognize the names. :rofl Good luck buddy.
 
I see your $75 and raise you a $49...



Here's what Greenville SC craigslist shows:

*LOCAL pickup & delivery (if necessary)

*Complete hand wash and wax

*Full vacuum

*Interior/Exterior vinyl dressing

LOL I don't know guys

I charged about $245 on a black GT-R for a full interior/exterior detail

I prolly did charge a little too cheap, but then again there are some competitors out here in the Houston area that's a little cheaper... SIGH
 
LOL that craigslist ad says that he can do paint correction as long as it's not 'eating away at the clear coat'?! What kind of correction can he do then, cover it with a glaze???

Jake,

Like it or not, that's our competition when we try to sell our services in Greenville. Oh, that and the hugely popular Greenville Car Wash. Every Saturday I see long lines of BMW's, Mercdedes, Lexus's, etc. literallyh backed up waiting for a "detail" at one of their locations. For $15 they'll run your car through a tunnel wash and then have 9 people flock to your car with the same towels they just wiped 50 cars with including dropping on the ground. You'll spend the first 10 minutes of some conversations just trying to explain that what they do and we do are not remotely the same service and why we charge more than $15.
 
The $75 includes paint correction.:bow:bow:bow

Extreme Auto Paint Detail



Want to really make that car or truck shine and last a long time? Tired of looking at scratches and tar marks? Tired of washing your vehicle to see little difference? What your vehicle really needs is a good buff-job.



I do not just wash a vehicle and call that a detail. I use a high-speed buffer with many different pads and compounds. I actually can remove or improve all damage your paint has suffered. Light scratches, oxidation, and road tar can all disappear. As a bonus, I wax the entire paint surface.



Price starts at $60 for complete surface (All depends on vehicle size and damage) Spot-jobs for low as $20

I also can do some mechanics, (ex.fluid change, brakes, rotors, etc) as long as there are no specific tools required. However I am NOT liable.



Somebody needs to teach him a thing or two about liability :dance
 
"I also do some paint restoration as long as it's not eating away the clear coat. That takes more time and more equipment than what I have here.



If you are interested in any of these, or if you have some questions about having something done to your car that I have not listed.

Feel free to give me a call.
