Need your quik opinion
I'm about to quote a detail on this truck, but there could be a big difference depending on what these wheels are.. I'm thinking they could be bare aluminum, what do you think?

Hard to tell. Best I can think of is to grab towel with small dab of polish on it. Rub in a small spot on the rim.
If it is black---bare aluminum.

Yea, but the truck's 10 miles away and I'm trying to give a quote over the phone. Lol.

Gotcha.
By the looks and style of spokes---looks like somewhat of a "recent" style and probably is clear coated.
Give him a couple of quotes with certain conditions attached re wheels.

What does the customer want done to the wheels? If the customer doesn't know if they're clear coated or if they're bare aluminum you could just give the customer a price range, or a starting price, and let them know that a firm quote can be given after visually inspecting the truck. A lot of folks ask me for an estimate over Facebook and oftentimes I give them a range of cost after seeing pictures and reviewing/tempering their expectation.

Oh just thought of something.
Quote him towards the high end. Tell him if rims are coated (clear) you'll give him a discount at end of detail.
People love getting a discount in general. That should help close the deal.

Yup, I was just on the phone with the girl and that's exactly how it went... It's so cool when a girl actually knows about these kinds of things. Too bad she's already taken. Lol.
It's gonna happen tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
