Detailed Elegance - White 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[bmw5541]

My customer has a new 2011 White Jeep Grand Cherokee and wanted it detailed before the winter really sets in. The paint was in very good condition, so I was going to do a wash, clay, 1 step AIO, seal, and dress.

Here is the process:
Wash: ONR with 2BM
Clay: Blackfire Poly Clay with ONR as lube
Tires and Wheel Wells: Purple Power
Wheels: SCG Beyond Steel
Chrome: P21S Polishing Soap
Windows: Meguiar's D120
Black Trim: 303 Aerospace Protectant
Tires Dressed: SCG Beyond Black
Wheels Sealed: DP Wheel Glaze

Paint Correction: Poorboys World PwS and a 5.5" Green LC Flat Pad w/ GG 6" RO
LSP: Collinite 845IW
Windows Polished: Poorboys World PwS

Sorry there are no dramatic before and afters as I stated the paint was in good condition.

On to the pics:

How much do you charge for something like this?

Thanks Grizzly.
I charge by the hour. My rate is $35/hr. You also must be aware what you can charge in your area. Find out what detailers in your area are charging, and be around that rate. When you first start up, you need to be less expensive, to get the customers, and as your portfolio increases, you can command a higher rate.
