[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 16318180, member: 132915"] For a quick car wash and vacuum that cost less than $25, I'll tip those workers. For the guy charging $80-$150(in [USER=177712]@tones_RS3[/USER] case) per hour , I am not leaving a tip. I don't blame you for paying someone to do the work, as it does take some time. However, not a single part of the process is difficult, especially on a new car that has very little damage to the paint. He should be able to do a minor correction and polish in one (maybe two) step with a DA orbital buffer. Then, it is ready for the ceramic coating--which is STUPID simple. You don't mask anything: coating goes on the trim (except soft rubber), headlights, tail lights in one easy pass; and in less than one hour (really less than 30 minutes). The poor application from the DIY you've seen is likely because they tried to use it like wax: they put on waaayyyy too much product. It's a very thin, light coating to get the job done. [/QUOTE]
