I had a person from the import car club i`m apart of come over today for a detail. I`ve done other peoples cars before... but never charged. He came overand i did a basic wash/clay, then some swirl removal with FI-IIand a PCand toped it off with bf polishand 4 coats of BF. It looked amazing.. even for a green civic. He seemed really impressed with the results... i sure was. The whole process took about 4.5 hours (had to take a break for the x-files...) I told him he just had to pay me $15 for the suplies i used.. then what ever small tip he thinks i deserve... he gave me $60... i tried giving him back 20 telling him that was too much because i enjoy doing it.. but he insisted. I must say.. it feels good seeing a `customer` impressed like that. Hopefully he`ll spread the wordand i`ll have a part time business in no time. Better yet, our neibor does body work. He saw me outsideand asked if i wanted a job... said they had a `kid` doing detailing for them right now (freshly painted) but he might not work out...and because of how `crazy about detailing` i am, i`d have the job if i wanted it.
All i have to say is... THANKS!!! 100x times to all of you. Especially David (putting this togeatherand responding to my posts),and redcarguy (showed how amazing a properly kept car can look like) ,and DK (tons of advice in several threads), yosteve (love those MFs), John Ross (inspiration)and everyone else who`s responed to the questions i`ve asked. This board is amazing.
