Guest 614Streets Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 45 minutes on a nice car ? Yeah but when you do say a three step with clay I never did 45 minutes if the car is a used daily driver with 120 k. And by 3 step I mean 3 rounds of buffing : compounding , finesse II , and carbrite crystal for example with 3 different pads and a soap wash between each , plus wetsanding claying , and then waxing. Thats not talking windows, jams,wheels, wells, bug/tar,brushing. Now a dealer fresh up with no engine bay work and comp air/vac interior with orange rinse a good wash, glass clean , light dressing thats for me doable in 45 minutes.

Mr. Jones Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 There's only 1 way to settle this. DETAIL SHOWOFF! One can detail my car one week, and then after its dirty in a month or two, the other can do another detail. Then, we can take pictures and let CR decide. (Yes, these services are expected to be free) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 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. Wha? really? The interior is actually one of the only things i really liked about my jetta. I was really impressed with the built quality and materials used then again the car i had before this was a 00 Ford Contour If you have the clothe interior i can see your point. I have black leather with black carpet, the carpet is like a fucking magnet for depris and little shit but the leather has held up great.

V8 Beast Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 -Rub ass across car 3 times in a semi circular motion while playing Tupacs greatest hits... repeat if necessary- http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/xxtheonlyxx/Picture083-1.jpg I have a big butt so the entire thing took me 4.5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have a few clients that request details like that...they're also kind enough to feed me and provide me with lifts and other accomodations to make my stay as comofortable as possible. Usually split the work up over 2-3 days to get everything completed and charge $500-1000 depending on what needs done. For custom work it's $50+ an hour. Heck, I did an engine bay detail on a '68 Shelby a couple years back that was a $350 job. ...however, on a Jetta...??? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'd like to introduce everyone to the 40 year old virgin! If he spend that much time cleaning his car he must be very sexually frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 That $3K Jetta, just became a $5K Jetta yeah, but it took him 4 months to do. if its purely on his free time, and he's only doing it for fun, that's one thing. by your math, that would be $6k a year that he could make aside from what he does for a living during normal work hours. not bad, but not worth it, unless he truly enjoys doing the work. its still an incredible job none-the-less.
