So I received my first response from craigslist after 2 weeks. He had just bought a used 2003 Ford Expedition and wanted it detailed. The previous owner didn't detail it and lowered the price accordingly. I quoted him a price range over the phone and he said his budget was my min. charge. So I went to take a look and it was in pretty bad shape. We agreed on price and came back the following day to detail it. I didn't look inside when I first inspected the vehicle. Bad idea. It was pretty filthy.
This was my first time detailing a suv and now i truly understand why we charge more. I spent the whole first day doing the interior and had to come back the next day for the exterior.
