moxy89 vs Davvy's clio 172 (paint correction) - Saxperience

moxy89 · 25th February 2013, 18:25

Got this dropped round this morning and had it left with me for best part of the day for a paint correction detail. The car was in pretty honking condition and was in need of a clean, the colour was fantastic and with the subtle mods it really did come out fantastic!

What products did you use Moxy? and out of interest how much did you charge? I know it's nosey, I don't usually ask about money but I'm starting offering my services down my way but it's interesting to see what others charge.

PM me if you like or you can tell me to bugger off ha.

Looks good, depth of colour looks nice.

Cheers,

He did a great job, and at a very good price of £75. My brother in law came and had a look at it earlier who details million pound yachts and said it was also very good, especially for the price!

Full paint correction for £75 = no swirls for that is VERY good... I won't be going that cheap for sure! are you pals?

I did a car once for £50 never again.

Still want to know what materials/products were used

Jamie products are decent ones... And that is my last cheap detail ever mate, a lot of work but at the end of the day i have spare time might as well do something i enjoy and earn a bit.

Process
Rinshed and foamed
Iron x and citrus power
Washed two bucket method (zymol)
Clayed (supernatural clay)
Washed again two bucket method (zymol)
Das 6 with megs and lake county pads
Washed again
Wax (auto finesse)
Tyres dressed and so on...

manily doing cheap details to build a portfolio buddy, with my lamps and all that set up, im not like one of these £40 details that is a valet. Seen your work buddy, you can charge a lot its just finding the people

Thanks for the reply dude,

I hope you didn't think I was implying you was a valet style guy lol. There is a huge difference between a valet/clean and a detail it's all in the word detail

.

Yeah I had the same problem, I was offering full detail including paint correction for £50 just to build up a portfolio. The products alone probably cost me around 20-30. How many people you think took me up on it? 1 person.

I already had a relatively good portfolio because I'm anal with everything and take many HQ pics. What I have worked out is word of mouth is everything, in most cases not just relevant in detailing.

Next week I'm detailing a Porsche Cayman for what I consider cheap @ 100. I'm only doing it that cheap for my boss because people recognise prestige more.

Enhancement details are a good money maker and come from existing clients which is good so building up a happy customer base is paramount.

I hope it all works out for you dude, I really hope to build up a nice list of clients so I can at least have it as something on the side for extra dinero!

Nice detail and I have to say, although Zymol shampoo isn't made by Zymol I rate it as high as Megs Gold Class which... for an off the shelf product is one of the best imo.

Good luck
