detailers schedule

**evolutionvalet** · 03-07-2006, 03:49 PM

Hi guys,

Do any of you operate a detail schedule for your clients? If so is it in printed form?

I have a client who wants a breakdown as to what needs doing and when.

If I can brainstorm with you guys it would be appreciated.

Unless someone has done the leg work and doesnt mind me `borrowing` their ideas.

If you prefer to IM me the information please do.

Many thanks

Kev :thx

This was interesting too look at...The steps are a good checklist...However some of the times make me think

10. Vacuum (2 min)

Who can vaccum in 2 minutes? Maybe it`s a typo?

2 minutes would be plenty of time for one of *my* cars. Now on someone else`s car, LOL!! More like 2 hours minimum.

I agree

When I did my winter beater I stood there for 2 minutes looking like this :think: with the vaccum on deciding where to start first lol Having a free winter beater is nice...however not when your dad uses it all summer to haul his summer project crap and there is crud everywhere
