Let's do this another way. What would YOU have paid me to do this if it was your car?

i would say about 300 dollars, its alot of work to do paint correction like that from one detailer to another , where did you buy all the gloss-it products?

Great work on the Mini. It's easy to underestimate them because of their size.

For a car that thrashed and a job that well done I'd expect to pay roughly $500. Looks like a professional detail service hit that thing full force.

Minimum $500 but I would understand what steps it would take to get the job done. Realisticly its an $800 job with time invested into it. But 90% of the people out there think your going to pull out your Sears buffer and apply a coat of wax and presto it looks new.

definately, theres a reason it usually takes more than one day to do stuff like this, hell it took me 2.5 hours to do swirl removal on my hood alone the other day and i still have probably 3 more hours of it ahead of me to get it to my acceptable standards

Beating a dead horse here but,

for a min there I though you were seriously gonna clean that POS up!
Then I realized you just replaced it with a brand new car at the end.

Amazing dude simply amazing I can't spend more than a wash/rinse on my vehicles. Two things washing cars and mowing grass is my most hated things to do.

Thumbs up

When I first saw this thread a few days ago I just kind of blew it off.So I decided to look at it.All I have to say now is "WOW"! Actually,words cannot describe what I really think! You deserve more then what you charged this person! I wish you were closer to me; I would love to see what you could do to my truck! Again,a very very nice job!
