Default Presidential Detailed: 2004 Chevy Avalanche

After detailing Tim Tim Tim's RX-8, he brought me his mothers Chevy Avalanche. Not only was it in for a full exterior detail, I also had to remove the nearly disintegrated pin striping from the truck. Overall, the truck wasnt in that bad of shape, it was just BIG and dirty! Everything went well until my buffer broke in the middle of the detail! I wanted to get a new one anyways, and heres a good excuse right??

Meguairs APC+
Meguairs Hyperdressing
Menzerna SIP/Wool
Menzerna SIP/Orange
Menzerna 106ff/white
Menzerna Top Inspection
Tons of Uber MF Towels(AP)
Swissvax Pneu



LSP:
Lusso Oro applied with Uber Foam Applicator

Tools:
Dual Work Lamps

How much would you charge to detail a 2006 Titan King cab? Overall its pretty clean but could use a good buffing/waxing
