yup for sure. They know if they went somewhere and asked for what i am doing they would get sticker shock.

yeo i know its a 12 hour cure. I am going to spend 1.5 -2 days on it. This car is parked outside at all times and is about to see winter. Like i said before they do run it through automatics once in awhile, so the extra coats of wax i think would help save the sealer for at least a month.

Well i would spend time getting the big scratches out and just go over the rest with a white pad and a few passes just to clear it up a bit. Assuming the paint is like my 2014 mustang and soft as can be. I am going to play by ear. Just wanted to get an idea if i was being a bad friend and...

yea i would def do it cheaper if i was not having to take off a days work to do this, also the products i use are not cheap.

That`s what i was thinking. If the inside was not covered in hair and dirt i would probably only charge $120. If it was someone i did not know, i would be charging way more. People that are like my friends will also see the job i did and tip if i deserve it. I am a detail freak and my friends...

Some close friends of mine just got back from a trip to Colorado. They were talking about needing the car detailed, so i jumped in saying i would possibly do for $150 but want to check on prices first. I dont want to rip them off but they said they would rather have me do it since they know it...

I wonder what one would charge someone for a detail job like this?

oh i know. the new benz line makes bmw interior look like it from 2000. Bmw has stuck with the same design for way too long, but a new c class loaded is like 50k with a 4cyl turbo. Thats crazy many for a c class. I wish they would make the w124 again so i could buy new lol. I had a 1992 400e and...

yea, the paint was dull from swirls and the orange pad was not cutting it. Took me a whole day to compound using a lot of pressure and using super slow passes to the point my flex got hot and melted my 6.5 backing plate where it bolts and broke. The wolfgang swirl remover got rid of the...

yea, i am not doing it anymore on this car since my significant other is going to run it through a 6 dollar special car wash and ruin it. This was my first time using a DA polisher, so i needed the practice before i touch the cars i care about lol. The bmw x5 is going to be gone next year if not...

Nice looking x5. Hope its trouble free for you. Mine is always breaking every few months because of some poor design and cheap plastic.

yup, i bought the stang in may and has only 3000 on it and it already has some curb rash, due to tall curbs and me not knowing how to parallel park well lol(from michigan). I dont hit peoples bumpers since i can tell if i can fit in a spot or not.

yea its getting cold fast, also i had to park my mustang(my baby) for a few nights at a friends house so i can have space to detail the bmw. I refuse to park the stang on the street at my house due to idiots not knowing how to park and hit the bumpers. The c class is still in the shop being...

cant get my photos to upload to site. https://www.flickr.com/photos/shanes_gli/sets/72157647578137107/ After 3 1/2 days working from 8am-1am , i am finally done winterizing/ detailing/paint correction on the bmw. I removed about 85-90% of scratches in the paint and the rest does not look...

Good to know since it takes 13 hours to cure

I hope i have not messed my mf towels up. I wash mine in warm water with reg old tide, and a extra rinse cycle. I wash my towels separate that are used for my rinseless wash vs others for windows. I also don't put them in the dryer, just hang them to dry.

Never thought about beating the salt to break it up, thanks for the tip. I am working on getting a air compressor and plan on getting one of them tornado brushes(been eyeing for a while). This is actually one of the personal vehicles that i don't get to dive much. The smell is not horrible, but...

sorry to thread jack, but does anyone use klasse sealant before winter? Is one coat that has cured for 12 hours good enough for winter protection, or should it be layered? i plan on topping with 3 coats of wax. I just wondering since i only have about 2 days to detail the paint on a bmw and you...

A couple cans of gunk gel, a toothbrush, a toilet bowl brush(i know but works great in areas), and a medium size hand brush and go to town. rinse with high pressure, but don't spray sensitive electricals with high pressure. I find simple green work good too but don't use it on plastic since it...

I am going to be detailing the 07 bmw x5 next week since the c class just got side swiped this past week. The beemer is nasty inside with food spilt everywhere and smells bad, also has dried salt in areas. How should i approach this? I have a little green machine and plan on going to homedepot...
