Just thought I would throw this out there since I'm pretty sure Lucky1 no longer does it on the regular.

I've got over 5 years experience doing professional detailing and full recon work. Everything including basic interior and exterior washing, deoderizing, interior stain removal, crevis cleaning, minor scratch removal, hand waxing, compounding, acid washing wheels, engine touch-up, clay bar, etc...

Unfortunately I don't have a thermax machine for good shampoo jobs but will still do a dry clean and i do all of my waxing and scratch work by hand (ie: no orbital).

Basic Wash: $15
-Includes a full exterior wash/dry, rain-x application, wheel cleaning, and tire shine.

Basic Wash + Interior Detail: $25
- Includes all of the above as well as full vacuum, armor all application, windows, and upholstry/leather treatment.

Hand Wax: $30
-Will guarantee a dedicated swirl free wax job with carnauba wax (not some bullshit polish short cut)

Basic Wash+ Interior Detail+ Hand Wax- $50

Scratch Removal, Clay Bar (which i don't enjoy), deoderizing :
- All negotiable and dependant upon the job... Let me know what we're working with-

FULL RECONDITIONING: $100~
-This includes everything in the first 3 groups as well as full crevis cleaning, deoderizing, engine touch-up, compounding (if necessary) upholsty/leather cleaning, etc.

Pretty much if you are someone who either has a car in real tough shape, a vehicle you are trying to sell, or a new vehicle you want to keep flawless let me know. An average full recondition is about a 5 hour job- Big difference is just going through everything with terrible OCD to ensure that the vehicle is absolutely mint.



Shoot me a pm if interested and we can work out a time- I have all of my own supplies so if you would have a space at your own home I am happy to come there otherwise drop off near crossroads.

I think my prices are pretty reasonable considering I charge about 60% of what we charged at the shop for the same work- of course depending on the vehicle and situation everything is negotiable- Certainly a full hand wax will be a little different price on a miata vs an H2....I do charge an extra $15-$20 for an SUV since there is more work involved

if you do a good job, which from your phrasing it looks like you do, your prices are DAMN low.

8/24/2008 5:52:48 PM

Agreed- Anyone who has gone to a dealership to have their vehicle detailed would also agree.

All of those prices are about $10 less than what I actually charge most of my friends who have had work done. I just lowered them a bit to be half-way on point with what Lucky1 used to charge.

I do a damn good job and put a lot of effort into the work I do- if people are happy and want to tip a brother then by all means

damnit I should've looked here first.

My car could definitely use some professional help

8/24/2008 7:06:06 PM

Could I barter some housekeeping, photography, or baked goods for a basic wash and interior detail?

8/24/2008 8:40:57 PM

what if lightning hit a tree next to your car and blew out two windows and they are in the back seat and rear of a jeep cherokee? I'd just need the wash, vacuum. could you wash the inside of the opposite window that was broken where dirt hit it?

8/24/2008 11:30:25 PM

I thought you moved to NY??

8/25/2008 2:33:49 AM

^^^mmmmm....Baked goods (i think we could work something out)

^^I mean- I can certainly get it back in top shape for ya. Certainly I'm going to want a few extra bucks considering how much of a pain in the ass broken glass is to clean up and the fact that it will prolly murder my shop vac :shrugs: Shoot me a pm

^I've been back and forth quite a bit taking care of different endeavors. I'm down here for at least another month before making another trip back though.

My car has been needing a serious detail for quite some time now. Last year I bought an Adam's Essentials kit from Phil over at http://www.detailersdomain.com along with a Porter Cable 7424. The kit does well for your everyday wash but I didn't do too well with the random orbital. I have serious swirlmarks and there's some damage to the paint where I used much too abrasive of a cleaner to get sap off of the hood.

Maybe I could take some pictures and you could give me an idea of cost and if you even want to spend time on it. I'm in Greenville or I'd just take it by.

Do you have one of those water tanks, or do you need a hose if you do it at our place?

9/7/2008 10:40:01 AM

To everyone who pm'ed me in the past 10days:

Sorry for not responding, and when I have a moment I will shoot an individual response to each of you. I got called out to Lafayette,LA and now headed to Galveston,TX for Hurricane relief. I was only given about 2 hours notice and had to be on a plane so I didn't get a chance to post.

We haven't had internet service and have been pumping out 20 hour days. not sure how soon I will be back... could be a couple days or even weeks.

When I know more about my schedule getting back to Raleigh I will shoot all of you messages so we can set up times to get work done. Sorry for the inconvenience and I'll keep ya'll posted.

9/12/2008 11:12:51 PM

Just got back in town. Here for about 4-5 days. If anyone wants work done in this time frame let me know.

thanks,

Derek
