quickest attack on conversion van?

I have a conversion van to do tommorow and I was wondering what is the quickest way to finish the job,if there is one? Would it be the same procedures as detailing a normal sized vehicle or is there some different procedures to speed up the process?

Do what is necessary to complete the job to your standard. Charge accordingly.

I'm the guy who takes all day to do a sedan!

I can do it in about 8 hours; there is (in my mind) no quick way.

If you need the detail, lemme know.

Take the time to pull the rear seats, makes extraction so much faster, and you'll have full access to the balance of the interior.

I agree with Jim, no fast way (and the fact it took you 7.5 hours proves it!) to detail something that size. A lot of them use single stage paint on the raised top too, which takes even more time.

Glad it worked out for you and your customer.
