Okay. First off, my name is Justin, I'm 15, and I detail cars. I'm planning on starting a small business detailing cars for people for the cheap and affordable price of $50. Remember, don't most detailers charge $100-200/car? Well I'm not sure if people would pay me that high, so I'll start at $50. I work by hand, and I don't have a buffer, so I don't think I can do extreme makeovers...hehe.
This is my detailing process. Please tell me how much people should pay for doing this to their car. I did this process to my aunt's Camry and she payed me $18. I don't want to be mean and charge her $50...=[
Okay, this is how I clean my car and my parent's cars.
Step 1: I clean the wheels and tires first with this cheapo microfiber wash mitt from the dollar store using Gold Class Car Wash. Then I take the Meguiar's Super Plush Wash Mitt and dip that into a bucket of Gold Class Car Wash and work my way throughout the vehicle, making sure I don't miss a spot.
Step 2: I then dry the car with the Absorber. If there is any water left, I use microfiber towels to get them.
Step 3: I clay the car with Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit to remove overspray and any other contaminents. I clay every surface, without missing a spot. And I make sure that everything is smooth when I dry it. Then I use Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber to remove everything. After that I check around for any scratches or swirls, and if I see any, I apply ScratchX until the scratch or swirl is completely gone.
Step 4: I then take a Meguiar's foam applicator pad and apply Gold Class Liquid Wax throughout the whole car, let it haze, and then I remove the wax with microfiber towels.. And I use another microfiber towel to remove any wax leftover.
Step 5: I look over the vehicle throughly making sure there isn't any leftover wax, if there isn't, I clean the windows with Stoner's Invisible Glass, wipe it with a clean, old tee shirt, and then I use a microfiber towel for the final wipedown.
Step 6: I then use Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray to dress up the tires.
Here are some results:
