Interior only detail?
I just turned down my first detailing job. A lady just contacted me asking to do her 2012 Honda Odyssey that hasn't been detailed in 1.5 years. She has 3 kids and wants just the interior done. I was honest with her and said that I've had bad experiences with jobs like these in the past and that I'm not interested.
Does anyone else hate jobs like this?

Re: Interior only detail?
I've been passing on some interior jobs myself..just not enjoyable.
Good way to help the other detailers around you by throwing them a bone.

I’ve turned down plenty of mini van interior jobs. Just sounds like a nightmare.

Interior is the worst part of detailing in my opinion, and I'm just a hobbyist.
I can't wait to bust out my polisher, pads, and products, but I almost have to force myself to do my interior.
I can see why you pros turn those jobs down.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Interior only detail?
It's been a weird day. I just had another person call me out of the blue looking for a detail on her black Cadillac SRX. I gave her my standard $150 rate for a vehicle that size, which is a basic wash, clay, sealant, and interior detail. I do a lot of these and it's an easy 4-5 hr job for me. She said it's too much but does it include removing the swirls. I told her to double the price if she wants paint correction. That was the end of that conversation.

Re: Interior only detail?
The "pros" can have it. I don't like cleaning up after other people's kids.

Sure, but don't change it on my account. I can see why a lot of guys turn those job down too. But, IMO, if you just turn down those jobs out of hand, you're not a pro. Now, if you go, look at it, quote them $300 and they don't want to do it, hey you made an effort and you couldn't reach an agreement. But to simply turn it town because it's a minivan and you don't like cleaning up after somebody's kids, you're not a pro.
