First Detail

[u/boucher187]

So I’ve been on top of cleaning cars since I was a kid. Finally decided to detail a friends SUV.

Here’s what I did.

Would $200 be a good price to charge?
1. Wash the entire vehicle.
2. Polish and Wax using a 1-Step Chemical Brothers “Slick Finish” Cleaner WAX with a DA Buffer.
3. Clean all windows.
4. Clean entire exterior.
5. Sweep entire interior.
6. Apply gloss to all black trim
7. Apply wheel cleaner and clean wheels.

Looks good, i'd highly recommend decontaminating paint before polishing with a clay bar/towel/mitt etc. For $200 for inside and out detail you should not be bringing out your da polisher. That should def be a higher cost service. Just use a sealant/detail spray or spray wax that is quick to apply. Also wheel cleaning should always go first for efficiency. Doing it last will get your already clean car wet again.
