I just got done detailing a truck interior for my cousin. When he asked how much he owed me I said $150(I didn't want to charge a lot because the experience was worth a lot to me). When I told him I spent close to 20 hrs. on it and he was a little surprised. It took me that long because it was horrible and because I was doing it evenings in poor lighting a lot of times. So he came and picked it up when I was at work and left a check for my dad for $250!! I was really surprised and asked my dad several times if he misunderstood me, but he said he didn't. I do still need to confirm this with my cousin and thank him if he tipped me that much.
I would like to use the money to buy some more/better detailing equipment. Right now I'm using my moms Electrolux sweeper which has a nice spinning bush attachment and good suction. I also have a bissell proheat automotive extractor. I can't decide if I should get the metro vac n blow or the pf 51 and I'm also looking at getting the McCulloch steam cleaner from harbor freight tomorrow. My highest priority is getting better lights. Any input you have on what you feel is the best tool and if the McColloch steamer is any good would be appreciated.
