to do a decent job you need to spend a decent amount of time on the car... which is why when people say 'I can get it buffed for £50' I let them get on with it... as there is no way that anyone could make a living from spending a day on a car for £50
Guy, you would get on with my mate sooo well, this is exactly what he was saying, when people ask the price for this job doing they usually cannot get why a machine polish is the price it is, but when it takes a full day to do the full job i now see why, not only that but also then you have the products used, obviously he didnt charge me as he is one of my best mates, but i did use some of my own productd and i did help out, i gave my mate 70 quid as he did a fantastic job and im not taking the p1ss out of my mates by letting him do it for free (tried to give him 100 but he would not have it) i think he usually charges betwen £120 and £150, or for £200 he has a package which basically includeds the inside, outside, engine bla bla (not exactly sure but he says its like a valet which would be like a "show ready" sort of thing
he also says he has seen mates in the past who have gone out and bought a rotary etc and then hand out leaflets.. then ruin peoples paint work!!
Its the sort of job should be left to those who know what they are doing, and Guy if you had been local to leeds i would have most certainly given you some suport and had you come work on the car
Nick they came off quite easily with the G3, key is to keep up with them
