Yeah, I am pretty good, but not anything like some of the guys on here. I don't charge much at all, but I have been getting coworkers attention with my prices and work. For most cars... $65 wash, wax, interior vaccum and armour-all. Small-Mid Suvs are 75 or so and fullsize trucks and SUVS are $100. I enjoy doing it which is why I would rather do more vehicles and charge less. The mustang's paint was rough and he had some damage, so I could only get it so good, but he loved it. Cleaned up pretty well.

Yeah, ideally better condition, but the other two I did were better. I don't think I could do show cars. I am not at that level yet. I think I am pretty darn good for my age, but you would probably walk all over me.

Hey Truck Guy, if I was a little closer to Mass. I'd let you do mine. I need to escape this heat for awhile anyway!

HAHA thanks guys. If you are ever in the area, let me know. I just love doing it, and with how my truck looks they trust me. I take their vehicle on my day off, drive it to my house and work on it, then I bring it back. It's funny because they make fun of my with my truck, but then they know how I will treat their's

I'm due a trip up to Cape Cod to get out of this heat. I was up there a couple of times year's ago at Otis AFB. Nice area!

Yeah. I have to get some new microfibers and such. I did clay the mustang, and it helped, but the paint was not to my standards One of my friends got an 05 Audi A4 that he babies... that's my next customer and his gf's Taurus it sounds like soon as well. I have a GMC Sonoma soon too and a newer Sentra and 04 Vue. These are people I work with, so I just find time, and then we go from there. I've done 3 for workers so far, and interest seems to be growing

Yeah I love the area. The cape is only 40 minutes or so from where I live in mansfield. I love that area. It's so beautiful during the summer.
