    Better bring you're A-Game to that party....

    You'll be fine. Get up early, grab a BECLR (bacon, egg, and cheese on a long roll), chug 3 cans of Red Bull, and have at it!! That thing will come out great...

    ...just power wash the interior or drive it into the nearest swimming pool...which ever is easier!:buffing:

    Paint

    I just got Meguiars Paint Reconditioning Cream. OH MY GOD!! It is awesome. Especially for jobs like this where the car is very new and the paint is in ok shape. Just some minor swirls etc...

    I used the cream with my PC7424 and a white CCS pad.

    Black plastic on bumper and mirrors

    Meguiar's Hyper Dressing -- 100%

    So I guess you took the advice on the Red Bull?? That is quite a change!! That interior looks great! I hope you are charging accordingly for this level of work.

    This is awesome. Interior looks brand new! I'm sure the customer was very happy with the results

    How much would you charge for this detail. It took me most of the day.

    She was sooo happy. She jumped up and down and gave me a big hug :)

    Awesome turn around! That interior was pretty trashed and now it looks brand new! Like it's been said I hope you made some money. I would have charged more than my normal interior price for that vehicle since it was in such bad shape.

    Damn! You did an amazing job on this!! I always find doing interiors tedious, you really made this look better than new!:applause:

    What do you normally charge for a detail like this?

    Thank you! It was definately the bulk of the work needed. The outside did not need as much attention....

    I try to keep my hourly rate at least at $20/hour and usually like to keep it closer to $30/hour when I'm not doing paint correction. So I would say if it was going to take me all day I would charge somewhere between $250-$300 (based on "all day" meaning around 10 hours) depending on the condition in person. Hope that helps.

    I charged $350. I was hoping in the right ball park.... :thumb:
