    Detailers reality ...

    Detailers reality…

    Here is how I started my day. A complete detail on this 97 Ferrari 355 Spider. I have been maintaining this car for about 3 years and it is a beautiful machine !!! A true pleasure !!!



    Then a detailers reality check !!! This 06 Cadillac Escalade is another repeat customer whose I have not seen since last fall. The pictures tell the rest of the story …





























    We as detailers take the good with the bad.

    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

    Hands down the Ferrari, because the owner appreciates and trusts the level of my expertise. The Escalade will at the time of this writing be back on track to being a disgusting pig again.

    Because of these "cafeterias on wheels" I usually will not give a price quote over the phone, and when pressed I usually price them pretty high.

    Exactly how much did you charge for that one?

    Great job on both
    It`s a shame how some people will treat their cars. Even if they don`t do anything else, atleast vacuum the thing. They do have to sit in the thing and who wants to sit in a garbage can, and thats an expensive garbage can.

    I liked the phrase you used a cafeteria on wheels, I may use that in my pricing

    Cars: $$
    Small SUV`s: $$
    Trucks: $$$
    Minivans: $$$
    Big SUV`s: $$$$
    Cafeteria on wheels: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
