We put ALOT of time into our details - thanx for looking guys!
 
Do you mind me asking how much was the charge for?
 
We made $130 from this detail - $630 for the day though - good day in my eyes :dblthumb2:
 
Hi B&B Tennessee... I really liked this post and turnaround. Would you please share a list of tools you use in the interior cleaning process? Thanks!! :)

No Problem Man :


VX5000 steamer

local APC bought in bulk

Local Shine bought in bulk

Brushes - paint brushes/ and or detail brushes

Spray away glass cleaner

EcoSmart for jambs

and one more time - VX5000 steamer (huge asset when used properly)
 
I always make a point to read your threads. Always very educational
 
Great job. Nine hours with the VX5000. Imagine how long it would take without the power of steam. Thanks for sharing.
 
You're welcome. I started detailing as a hobby about a year ago, joined MOL and here. Shortly after that, I found out that my job position was going to eventually change at work. Well about a month ago, restructuring happened. I'm still at the same company, but had to change positions and took a 2/3 loss in pay. I had about a year to try and prepare for it. I actually started detailing cars because I was hoping to buy and sell cars for a living, but I just don't have the mechanical ability for that. So about 3-4 weeks ago, I put an ad on craigslist for auto detailing, and got some business cards made. I'm working 70-85 hours a week (40 at my regular job, then 30+ hrs detailing), but I love it. I enjoy, no scratch that, I love the work, and so far every customer just says over and over "I can't believe how good it looks" and their jaw drops. It makes me feel so proud. I've finally found something I excel at, although I'm no expert by any means. I'm proud to say that I've been able to provide excellent results, but I have to make up for my lack of experience with extra effort. I accomplish in 20 hours what you and others here can accomplish in 10 (or less). I'm hoping that soon I will be forced to give up my 40 hours a week job (that I only keep for the health insurance) and give all my hours to detailing. Anyway, I didn't mean to go off track, I just meant to say that while I'm no noob, I've still got SO MUCH to learn, and I try to catch the majority of what you and a handful of other guys post.
 
Anthony,

Great job on that interior! :props:

It never ceases to amaze me how people can drive around in that filth for months on end then decide they need to do something about it...

I'm not surprised it took 9 hours. I did a Ford Escape last summer that was nearly as bad and it took me 6 hours. When I tell anyone I spent 6 hours just on an interior they look at me like I'm nuts....:laughing:

Great turn around and the before and after photos tell the story.....:dblthumb2:

Thank you SO MUCH! Really helpful, love gathering new ideas and techniques. Good job on the profit margin too, awesome, I had no idea people would pay over $600 for an interior detail, but it's very time and labor intensive! :)

I think he's saying they made 600 for the entire day, not on just this detail. $130 for this one.
 
Very VERY nice work. That lady has no idea what a steal she got for $130.

I wish there were some decent 'how to' vids on this. I don't feel like I use my steamer to it's full potential. Always looking for a better way.

9 hours & it shows, there's no disputing the quality of your work. :props:

Came to post something similar.

Wondering what brings people that allow this to happen to their car to finally get it clean. Is it simply that they've decided to drive a clean car? I doubt it.

I can only reason with the fact that they want to sell it. Do you know if this is the case?
