^ WOW REALLY?

I will have to bring you my jobs that need to be knocked down and buffed.
Assuming you do good work, that is really cheap for a job that takes many many hours.

Seriously? A GOOD cut/polish/wax will run $300-$400. I'd like to see what your end results are looking like for $50! Material ALONE can run $30

I pay $30 for a quart of compound.Look in my gallery for pics of my work,not trying to be an ass but $150 aint gonna get it done.If I need to step a car out(no wetsanding)I usually start at about $250,all depends on size and color of a car.

well he didnt say anything about compounding the car haha...but yeah compounding a 2-dr Celica...351coupe....yeah $250 sounds about right...

I charge *means all of the above (also depending on size of vechicle)
$25-$40 on basic wash.clay.hand wax.motor degreasing(i perfer only stock motor please)
$50-$70 *with foam pad buff
$100-$150 *with wool pad buff
$200-$250 *with compound
(i also shampoo interior...which will increase price by $30-$60)

it may seem cheap to you guys but i love detailing cars especially when i comes to cash money/friends/and cars i like..i have done probably over 300 full details in less than a year....oh fyi (i work at a car dealership) so im constantly detailing.

I can do a 2 step, Polish, Sealant, for $250, depending on paint condition. The Sealant will last you a good 3-4 months. The price includes cleaning the inside as well. By appointment only and will need your vehicle for about 8 hours. Let me know as I am busy.

Products used are: Menzerna, Poor Boys, Pinnacle, Natty's Red, Aerospace 303. Porter Cable, Lake Country pads.
