A few on here have expressed interest in my detailing work. I'm debating if I should try and work out a week to come out maybe before my summer semester starts STRICTLY for detailing!!! I'd basically need enough people to fill a full week or else the money I'd make would pay just for my ticket and wouldn't even make enough to cover the cost of the product. Here is what I'm thinking price wise:

Full detail service: 120-Includes wash (assuming water ban is lifted), clay, swirl removal, polish, wax/sealant, interior wipe down and vaccum (6-8 hours per car depending on condition).

Wash/polish/wax: 100-Includes everything above minus the swirl removal. This would get some minor swirling out, but not perfect finish (4-5 hours depending on condition).

Everything else can be worked out on a case by case basis. Not 100% sure if I can do this either just trying to gauge interest and would go from there. Ryan and a few others can vouch for my work. Thanks guys!

Gotcha! I know you and GTi are down. I'll check ticket prices and go from there. I'll probably need about 7 people interested to go ahead and come out. If not I should be out for Ryan's wedding, but i'd only be able to do a car or 2 than.

Sweet! I'll check plane tickets later today. For now I need to run off and check prices on my cams, headstuds, etc. :D

Call me cheap, but I can do all the things that you offer in your service and save myself $120.

I agree Dan, but some people prefer not to take the extra time to detail it themselves.

I agree, but because there are people that are afraid to do what I do and chance burning their paint. I've practiced on spare body panels and on my car with an DA and rotary polisher for 6 months before I even placed pad to paint. To be honest I still don't feel comfortable with a rotary and need more practice before I'll try it again even on my own car. Also like I've mentioned above I have over 700 dollars worth of detailing equipment. Its a hobby and a side job for me and a bit of an obsession. I swear I'm not trying to be an ass lol. Just defending what I do and to be honest if you check out detail shops what I do for an Evo will cost at least 175 dollars minimum and up to 250 dollars. Most of those shops just use product that have filler, that doesn't actually correct the scratch. I'd be interested to talk detailing with you though and like to know what products you use and like.
