Question Poll: How many details per week?

Just curious how many details everyone does on average during their "on" season. For the sake of the poll, let's only count full exterior details (polishing)...standard washes don't count.

Pros feel free to vote as well.

Re: Poll: How many details per week?

I usually do mine every 2 weeks. I have a large vehicle so I can't always do it every week. Plus I only drive it on weekends and it only sits in a covered carport during weekdays.

Re: Poll: How many details per week?

Re: Poll: How many details per week?

Interesting poll.
The shop I used when I owned the Cadillac dealership did about 30 cars per day, 6 days per week. Seems there arent many shops like that anymore.

Re: Poll: How many details per week?

Usually 1-2 for me(just on the weekends). Business has been good this year for me(don't do it for a living), been detailing 1-2 cars every weekend for the last 4 weeks, and have many more to do.

That's about what my shop does too. Each person did 3-5 complete details per day.
