What an amazing idea! Surely you couldn't have come up with that on your own?

[hamish_023]

What can I say. I'm and ideas man ; )

lthough this one needs a write up. Spent 11 hours non stop on a BMW M5 V10. The car had swirl marks over the paint which reduced the deep mettalic black colour and had some significant horizontal washing swirls on the lower panels. Once fixed up Opticoat permanent coating was applied to the paint for maximum protection as well as glass sealant applied.

Loving your work Hamish

11 hours non stop what a machine!

Just out of curiosity how much would you charge for a job like that?

[Kekotic]

He charges very good prices because he's not a business yet and just does it on the side to get exposure, so you SA guys should get in quick before he turns professional, because that quality of a job would cost you 2-3 times as much at a business detailer.

[hamish_023]

haha Cheers, Yeh still need to register business name and get a website up and running.

It depend's on what I'm doing, stage 1,2,3, sealant or paint protection, a lot of factor's will vary the price but will advertise when everything is up and running.
