    That car was in terrible shape. How much does it cost the customer to have 16 hours of work done on their car? Does it take 2 days to complete the work?

    I bet it was about $800 to $1200 for that much labor.
    The price for this particular vehicle was $600. I anticipated a good 12 man hours (two man team working 6 hours) We went over by four man hours.

    It doesn't happen often but I was committed and wasn't going to walk away until it was near perfect.

          The owner of the vehicle isn't sure. He took delivery at night (1st no-no) then has had it at various car washes around town. He also has a car duster he uses in it.

          I recommended he wash the vehicle himself and use UQD on it for up-keep.

                          Can a duster cause that much damage? It has got to be more than just the duster, right?

                              Eh, looks like standard dealer prep to me, or a "complimentary wash and swirl". Great recovery!
