I had a customer call me, asking if I would wets and the clear off of the car and polish the color. I thought it was a prank at first, I politely declined.

Those are great tips, Mike. I've never thought about the only uv protection being in the clearcoat, it makes sense though. Goodluck with your scratches, it sounds like a bear of a job.

I absolutely love this car.

One other thing, never be afraid to turn work down either. I know it's a hard to do when you're hungry. If a customer calls you, says they want you to do some work, then asks for a discount, they're probably going to be a headache. You will never live up to the expectations of someone who...

Don't be afraid to price high, you can always give discounts. My details start at 129-169, and are very basic. Does not include clay bar, or polishing. I think the only way to price properly is set a number of what you need to make per hour (I aim to gross $50/hour) and then time yourself on...

I love these cars!

do you apply it every time, or does it last a few washes?

2 week old Aston Martin - lush Only did a wash and vac but I (as a professional detailer) was very disappointed in the finish. Looked like light compounding swirls.

I love these antique Ferraris :xyxthumbs:
