[QUOTE="Mach1USMC, post: 15146295, member: 42788"] The detailers he uses are independent contractors who are one man shows. I'd love to have some help but it wouldn't be profitable for what he pays. Right now I'm just getting my name out there locally. I already have 3 other details setup from the customers I've contacted- but through my personal company- not the guy I'm contracting for. For the purposes of what I do for this company I don't do actual shampooing or compounding. As mentioned, doing those steps correctly adds lots of time. Engine bay and undercarraige are not a service I provide (although I'll do the engine bay for extra $ - it's easy $) To save time on the interior, I will wash the floor mats, do spot stain removal, thoroughly vacuum and dress the interior. On the exterior, I clay during the wash process and I do a one step on the paint. I use an orange or yellow pad so I actually get some decent correction - and I will do some occasional compounding as an additional service for extra $. As long as the customer understands it will add time to the detail. So far my longest using this process was on an 06 LX470 that took 6 hours. These clients here in Florida are different than the majority of my clients in Japan, where I detailed for 4 years. Most of my clients in Japan were enthusiasts and were very particular on what they wanted- most of my exterior details too 4-7 hours there. But that was compounding and sealing - not just polishing and waxing. [/QUOTE]
