Looks like you had your work cut out for you on this one. How long did this one take? Finished product looks amazing.

RE: Audi A4 detailed - Flofocus - 06-01-2011

1.5 days, 1 day for paint chip repair, paint compounding and waxing, another 1/2 day for the interior, engine bay, and final touch ups.

RE: Audi A4 detailed - Jmountney1 - 06-01-2011

how much did you charge?

RE: Audi A4 detailed - Mystake - 06-01-2011

how many hours (instead of days)?

$400

I dunno....12-16 hours...hard to say, not looking at the clock. Start at 8AM, finish around 10PM but take lots of breaks, play with my son, etc....I always ask that I have the car for 2 days that way I'm not rushed.

Awesome turnout, you do great work! How do you like the shining monkey products? Have you ever used anything other than their fabric protector? I saw the line at Part Source, hadn't seen it prior though so I didn't think much of it.

You do great work. If you were closer I would have three cars a year for you. can't seem to get someone good to get the swirls out of the Zephyr. They just fill in after waxing but reappear 30 days later after a few washes and rain.

Never used any other products, this stuff is good at protecting leather, and convertible tops. I usually use 303 fabric guard for fabric

Probably using glazes instead of doing a proper compounding. I use glazes on my own vehicles before shows and such (or for customers looking for a shortcut aka less $$$). Quick and dirty way to hide small scratches and swirls. Nothing permanent tho, like you said - washes out after a few hand washes.

Nice work.
Good price too.
Especially when you enjoy doing it.
I used to LOVE detailing my cars.

hard to find something more satisfying than seeing your ride looking like the day it came off the showroom floor ^_^

A little late to this thread, but awesome job Flo ... and that "after" shot of the engine bay looks like it's straight out of an Audi brochure - simply fantastic.
