2003 Saturn Vue with DIRTY interior/cloth seats .... I can picture it now
No Dice !!!
All the detailers I called about Orange Peel removal said NO, plain and simple, altho if they had done it in a different way I might have become a future customer.

since you bumped an old thread, I`ll chime in by saying that most of the posts are loaded with bad ideas. as always, it depends on where you live, but around here you are going to get a lot of calls from these types of clients and if you turn most of them down, you wont be doing much work. you will quickly realize you are developing a really bad name for yourself online. only takes a couple of bad reviews on the countless websites out there and all the sudden...people notice. and bad reviews don`t just come from clients you HAVE done work for, they can just as easliy, and often more likely, come from clients you REFUSED to do work for (or even insulted in the process)

I`ve turned away hundreds of cars since this thread was made. I`ve mastered the art of turning people away without offending them. Next Detailfest maybe I will teach a class on this
I can tell within the first 10 seconds of a conversationl if we will be doing business

That`s what I do if it`s possible. Stuff like motorhomes, I have zero interest in doing. No longer have any ladders big enough anyway. Used car dealers, I have zero problems telling them no but I do it by giving them a price per car and a lack of my availability that I know they can`t live with. Besides, I`d be turning down full priced business to do their crappy cars anyway. Issues like vomit, spilled milk, etc, I tell them I am booked solid for 3-4 weeks. People with problems like that can`t wait.

we`ve done 3 cars in the past 2 weeks where kids threw up. no problem here, the extractor doesn`t know the difference. they all clean up the same way, takes the same amount of time, and the checks cash just the same, too.
You do realize that sanding or polishing oem cleqr is probably the biggest liability a detailer can take on. Ive taken on big projects and I would pass on that instantly. Unless you have a respray theres no way. All the uv protection sits at the top of the clear, by removing the orange peel your taking a huge risk, it might look ok but you might have a paint job that looks great for year an then goodbye. Watch some videos on mike phillips about show car sanding.
haha, no thanks. I have read several of your posts... I`m the kind of person that doesn`t just care about the almighty dollar but cares about PEOPLE. the world is full of hate. part of my overall goal in life is to help spread some joy, to give back, to go out of my way to see my client smile, to raise the bar, after all, the name of my business is Moore Impressive, and that doesn`t just apply to the visual condition of the vehicle, it applies to our conversations and how much I truly CARE about doing the right thing for human beings. the world needs so much more of that. its called KARMA, and its REAL. I actually handed a $20 bill back to a client today because I felt like she was paying too much. she was fine with paying it, I wasn`t fine with accepting. it felt REALLY GOOD. I wont miss that $20 at all. trust me, doing business like that has proven to pay off in a much greater way in the long run. everyone in town knows me as that kind of guy, and it has opened doors and given me opportunities that are a lot bigger than cleaning cars. that feels WAY BETTER than telling my clients that I`m too busy or too good to clean their dirty vehicle, and that feeling is worth WAY MORE than $20. you wont meet too many people like me in your entire life.
