[QUOTE="Palmer, post: 13255586, member: 136551"] I could go on all day about that. I stick more with specialty cars that the owners really appreciate and take care of. I don't do many of your average joe cars because either people "don't understand why it costs so much" or they don't appreciate the work and even though they're paying me I'd rather not waste my time on a vehicle to give it back to someone and they trash it out a week later. Most of the cars I do are either customers I've had for years or from a local performance shop who I'm really good friends with the owner and he refers people to me or he pays me to detail the cars for his customers once he's done with the engine build, blower swap, tuning, or whatever else he's done to the car if he's had it for a month or more. I discount it for him but typically I charge between $200-$300 for what I do. I would be willing to take it further and add in more steps, but the problem you will run into here in Oklahoma is nobody wants to pay for a higher end detail. The cars I do for my friends performance shop I take home with me on a Friday evening and I return them Monday morning to his shop so that gives me two days to work on it and I can do it at home so I have a lot more freedom and its better than being at my work (body shop) and trying to cram it all into a Saturday. I typically have 12-14 hours into a car. Are you in an area with a lot of that red clay like they have around OKC? Luckily I've never had to do a car with that stuff since we don't have it up here.
