Do friends ask you to detail their cars?
I have some friends with REALLY nice cars. They see my car detailed and have either hinted or straight out asked me to detail theirs. I enjoy detailing as a hobby and would like to do some of the cars, but I wonder about a couple of things:
(1) should I get a liability release form?
(2) if the paints needs correction, should just glaze it and be done? I really don't like doing a half-a$$ job...maybe an AIO ( 3 in 1 or Speed).
Thoughts?

Re: Do friends ask you to detail their cars?
most are not going to want a show car finish and probably aren't going to want to pay for it, so a this is where a AIO comes in. there's no point in doing it for a daily driver when it's probably going to end up back in the same shape in less than a year or sooner...

Agree and I too refuse to do a 2 step on a DD.

This is hard labor.I would have them pay a reduced hourly rate,if they truly want it done.

I steer clear of that.

I don't have release, since this isn't my business...should I have them sign something?

Define 'really nice'....Are they paying you? You never mentioned that part.....

With friends and family I give them a reduced rate, I always just ask what their main concerns are and usually give them a little extra

If you feel you have to do that...are they really "friends"?
