Hey boys and girls, want to get everybody's opinions on this subject. Yesterday I did an AIO detail on a 1969 Camaro Z28 using D151 as that's all his budget would allow unfortunately; took most of the day as I had lots to do like engine interior wheel and chrome polishing etc. I would have loved to do a full on paint correction, but my hands were tied as I was working with his budget.
The gentlemen I did the work for is a friend of mine, and when I was working he was either hovering over me as I work, or doing some of the work himself. For example he wanted the Z28's 302 engine cleaned up, and I was going to do it myself but he wanted to do it with me. Or he was polishing a piece of chrome or whatever. He's an old school guy so I taught him some of the new ways eg what microfiber is lol.
It is his car so I'm obviously not going to stop him working on it, but he was doing stuff that I was going to do and was charging him for. I have zero problem with people watching me as I work, but I felt bad because I was charging him for work that he was doing himself.
What is your opinion? Discuss.
Cheers
Phil
