I'm having my friend detail my NBP for me.

He wants $150 for about 5 hours of work... does that sound about right?

 

whats it worth to you.....

 

that is a very good point...have you talked about what the outcome will be...is he using a machine or all by hand...is he doing the interior...how many steps is he using...

 

Have you seen his work before? How long has he been detailing, products, method?
Whats he normally charge?
That would be a good rate if it was me. My normal charges are $250.00.

 

He says he normally charges $230 and up for other customers. Hes a car fanatic as well and has done a lot of detailing work for other people. I have only seen his car and it is pristine.

He does have a machine (not sure what type). I basically told him I wanted him to remove all my swirl marks and clay bar my car.

Let me get more details...

 

your going to need more than clay bar and swirl remover....

exterior alone

wash
clay
polish
wax/sealant

interior

clean
vacume
protect
windows

all in all your looking at about 5-6 hrs of work depending on the level of paint correction needed....i am assuming its light, but moderate or worse will add atleast 1-2more hours...

if you can get all of that for 150 bucks, then do it....

 

Yeah all that other stuff is included. He says he uses Klasse, Adams, and Zaino for products.

 

Do us all a favor: Take before and afts.....also post his methods and products for each issue.

 

must be a close friend. I 2nd the before and after pictures.

 

Did I say/do something wrong?

Alright I'll post before and afters. Gotta get a better camera than my phone though. And yeah, hes my boy!

 

i'm doing somewhat of the same for my very good friend tomorrow..i'm hoping that he atleast tells two people about my service to help make up for how little i'm charging him..I should have pics up tomorrow afternoon sometime

 

jmkiang,

I think you live in LA, right? sorry if I am wrong...

but i'd like to see how it will turn out too, since I am looking for a prof detailer too....

 

^ IL. Sorry

 

Hey my friend isn't gonna be able to do it for me so I've been looking around.

Theres this guy who uses 3M products and foam pads on a UDM/PC. Any reason to stay away from this guy?

 

3M makes a good product!

 

Sweet. I just washed my car today and my paint is in serious need of some TLC!
