how much would a detail job like this cost...


Recommended Posts

he cleaned the spare tire!

 

Reallocate the man hours and product money spent doing all that into an actual job and he could have bought a brand new one.

 

I am guessing this is his real job. A detail job of this caliber would run into the thousands of dollars, so not bad.

If you read a little further through the responses he says "I bought the car back in May. I worked on it as and when I could (when it wasn't raining), usually on Saturday afternoons and Sundays plus the odd evening. I havn't actually kept a count of the total hours spent." The post was made 9/9. Weekends and evenings for 4 months!!! Classic OCD if you ask me.

All it takes is, allot of time!

 

Not really. I can get around a whole car in 45 minutes taking my time.

 

When we do full details part of it is wash, machine polish, wash, hand glaze.

 

He did a good job, but the only downfall is 3 days later the interior looked like shit. One thing I hate about our Jetta is the interior. It holds dirt like thats its job. It will be getting rewrapped in leather this summer. And I have to figure out another option for the carpet. MK3's had better interior for dirt repelling.

I can do that all as well in 45 mins. No offence, but you seem to have missed allot of steps. It’s all about prep as I apply multiple coats, of many different products to get my desired look/durability. Here are the ending results, ( Some of my sold cobra. This is also from a pos 2 MP camera)
