How much do you pay to have your ride detailed?

Very impressive job, good job on that license plate too. Nice attention to detail.

Roger, As always you do some fine work.

Nice job!

How long did it take you? Just curious.

Do you detail cars often?

The local Ford dealer detailed a friend of mine's Escape and said they'd never do it again. She has 3 Collies, so you can imagine what the inside looked like.

Your detail job looks great, Roger, but, IMO, it was worth way more than $125. - especially with all that dog hair.

Thanks, it took around 8 hours. I detail occasionally. I don't want to do it to often, one every month or 2 would not be bad.

Thanks, this guy has 3 German Shepherds. I used to do a Kia van for a guy. He had a Chihuahua or so kind of little dog. I guess the hair was perfect for the carpet in that van. They stuck to each other like velcro.

I ended up charging him $135 for the job which was still cheap. I have to meet the competitions price though. There is a a big car wash/ detail place here. They will do a express interior/ exterior detail for $70. I think it is pretty much slop over everything though. I look at a detailing forum once in a while. Some of those guys are getting $40 a hour. I think I netted about $15 a hour.

Never paid a dime for detailing. Car wash OK when I'm feeling lazy. Anything beyond that, cleaned it myself. This includes Corvette, Camaro, F350, F150, El Camino, my wife's Subaru, you name it.

I was going through some pictures and found these and thought I would share them in this thread.

Here is a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland that I did a while back.

Before

Silver and gray are great colors for hiding dirt and scratches.











After

Silver and Gray are a hard colors to get a lot of shine out of. On the Paint I just washed, clayed, and applied a sealant with a D/A. I also did the interior but I didn't take any pictures.













Here is my F-150. I don't have any before shots. This one took over 15 hours. I did way more than what I did to the Jeep or the Explorer I posted pictures of.













Cool pic of reflection of clouds in the hood.








Interior






I have a Corvette coming in Monday.

Beautiful job on the F-150.
