    Assuming you start at 9, the 2 of you had 10 man hours in that car! Pricing is on point for that amount of time, but holy crap overkill on so much of that vehicle! I counted at least 3 processes on the carpet, finishing with an extraction that didn't look necessary at all. All that power washing and spraying of the door jams over and over, even after interior processes were complete (requiring clean up of overspray), and a lot of stuff that just looked like a big show.
    These high end cars are usually immaculate, almost a maintenance clean. For the size, I would be in that for 6 hours tops, even with condition issues. If I had help, we'd be at the next job by noon, maybe 400 on that and another one like it and home by 4. You'd be working till 8pm to get another one in at that rate. We make roughly the same money, but more efficiently and at a better value for the customer.

Plus alot of cities can't afford the cost of getting their car's detailed they mite like the idea of wanting to get it done 1 day but they can't financially afford it. The bigger states such as my hometown NY, FL, TX, CA oh yeah there are more cities that can afford them prices. People love my work but to find them higher end that can afford getting there car done on a regular bases is not easy & the percentage of them people are slim as well. Not saying they ain't out in every state but you mite have to travel an hour away to get these customers.

    • @MK3504
      @MK3504 2 года назад +2

      I'm assuming you already purge the tankafter use. It's a good idea to purge it, turn on the compressor then purge it again to get residual moisture from the air. You can't avoid moisture buildup because it's from the actual air. Hope this helps

    • @mrslickdetailer9652

      Not if you just use common sense! Vehicle by vehicle basis as well. Most cars 2000-present are covered in plastic meaning water is pretty much ok, doesn’t mean you should spray a pressure water as hard you can but generally a rinse down is not gonna cause any damage.
