Alright Guys. This is Trig and Marley's (AKA TCulwell) first Mobile Detail. Over the past couple weeks we have been collecting about $700 bucks in detailing ammo, and we are only just starting. We hope to have a kick arse hobby and make a little money on the weekends while we're doing it. Today was our first paying customer, even though we gave him a pretty good deal to be the first one, and for us to attack his car with all are new stuff. The Armada was pretty beat up as you can tell, and that was a big suprise bummer for us, because we wanted to shine up a nice car, and for a 2 year old car it had seen what looked like 7 too many accidents. Most of the scratches besides the hood were deep-deep, and all I could do was try to blend them in a little better. The scratches on the sides of the SUV were from bicycle handlebars and all corners of the bumpers were super beat up and scratched. I know pricing is different for everybody, and Marley and I already decided what we would have charged, but if anybody here doesn't mine saying what they'd charge, we're very interested in weather or not we're in the right price range. Products used were: Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo CG Glass Cleaner (Diluted 1:1) CG Bare Bones CG Stain Extractor (Diluted about 15:1) DP All Exterior Cleaner 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Stoners More Shine Son of a Gun Mothers Back-to-Black Mothers Chrome Polish Porter Cable 7424 Menzerna SIP (Yellow and Orange Pads) Menzerna Finish Polish ( White Pad ) LSP - Collinite 845 http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh110/jtryggvason/Detailing /E%20Anderson%20Nissan%20Armada/Before/BeforeExterior013.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh110/jtryggvason/Detailing /E%20Anderson%20Nissan%20Armada/Before/BeforeExterior025.jpg
good job. i hope they get those dents fixed. its amazing how bad people treat their cars, and then they wonder why they look like crap and run like crap after 2-4 years later
That's funny. That's exactly what we said when we were done. It's not that it was so much work, but it was all that work for it to still look bad afterwards. That stuff bugs me, and had I known before hand, I probably wouldn't have been interested in detailing it. I think of detailing as an art project, and putting my name on something that I know (even with my inexperience) will look not so great later, doesn't sit well with me.
First mobile detail. Looks like they can only get better from the looks of that one. Real nice job guys and good luck.:thumb:
