Looks like I will be busy for a very long time

Re: Looks like I will be busy for a very long time

full detail inside and out including the engine on each vechile. More than likely I will do 2 or 3 trucks on the weekends, so each car/truck will take one entire full day and possibly do one during the weekdays.

$200 per car is like penniess to this guy, he will sometimes go buy a new car or motorcycle out of the blue since money is clearly not an issue for him.

I was not trying to make it a point that this guy was cheap, I was more concerned for you and the amount of work you will be doing for your pay you agreed upon.

What level of clean is he wanting these vehicles to be? How much correction are you going to try/need to accomplish? I'm trying to just get a feel for how involved you are going to have to be in each vehicle. I couldn't imagine that they would be really dirty being in a garage. Could you do ONR wash's on some of them to help save time??

Most of the cars are very dusty,

he has low expectations and simply likes cars clean, I will do more than that though.

so could the ONR wash be help to ya? saving time with washing, you could focus more on the small details... Do you use ONR at all?

Make sure you speak with him about what he wants done... if you do a very nice correction, even only 1-step on a smaller car, and he expects the same for a much bigger car in worse condition, you might go from 6-7hr detail for $200 to 10+... just keep in contact with him regarding your services and charges and make it clear that the $200 is for something like a 1-step correction with all the goodies like dressings on outside, etc.

I havent used ONR before.

Time isnt really too important either since theirs no time limit on when all these cars/trucks get done, but I bet it would still save time.

Some of these trucks are pretty big too such as the Dodge Power wagons and F 250's.

who knows, maybe ONR is something I should look into.

yeah, I have thought about this as well.

Im sure he wont have a problem paying more for the larger vechiles that take 12 hours or more of work.

This guy likes to keep things simple and he told me that if I need to take longer on the bigger vechiles then he has no problem paying me more.

The best part, other than the money, is that with 30 cars of various makes and models, you're going to be working on just about every type of finish condition and paint hardness imaginable. By the time you're done, you will be even more accomplished than you are now. Congrats again!

It is very inexpensive, and is able to be used for so many different applications also, I love the stuff!

More than likely the owner of all these vechiles will prefer the plan I already laid out for him which is the 2 bucket method. grit guards, good quality washing and drying tools etc. not sure how he would feel about ONR, plus I have no experience with this product.

I dont think I would be able to get my hands on it by Sunday either. But I am always open to try new things in the future.

ONR is awesome for quick, small jobs IMO.

Congrats. That sounds like a fantastic deal.
