Bury the fee in the price, offer a "cash price" that is lower.

Set the expectation, deliver or exceed expectation. You will get burned sometimes, but you will learn.

Just been doing stuff on the side for friends and family, but I've quoted out $150 for a little compound and AIO on a Black SUV for a friend, which I think was a more than fair price. I had 9 hrs...

I have been doing a lot of mobile stuff and water/electric is never an issue, but I am upfront about needing it first.

You will be happy with the results. It works quickly and is very easy to use. Low dusting as well.

Yeah sorry my time is off a bit. It was closer to an hr on the outside. Luckily was pretty clean to begin with somehow.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The lady was very happy with it and may be...

Will have to try leaving it on while I do the whole car. It is VERY easy to wipe off after you work it in. This seems like the hot new product on here, it's funny I bought HD speed last summer, and...

Friend called me up and wanted to get his Escalade cleaned up, and it had some areas of deep scratches. Since I couldn't just spot buff it and leave the rest untouched, I went over the whole thing.

Great stuff, that HDSpeed is good stuff!

Hey guys, been a while, hope everything is well. This year has been kinda busy for me on the side work (3 cars and a bike) whereas last year I only did 1 vehicle all summer.

This is a 2008 Lincoln...

Yeah i hear that. It's all about trial and error! I think i was able to salvage any little bit of clear as when I hit it with polish I didn't notice MUCH color. Thanks for the tips for next time...

Luckily it's only noticeable to my OCD eye. Thanks for all the useful (and not so useful) information guys!

Pretty crazy, I only did maybe 5-6 passes with light pressure.

I noticed paint coming off when I buffed with a towel, but I figured that was because I touched up with paint/clear mixed. I will...

OK yea that's kinda what I was thinking that I needed to add a little more clear and then re-feather it. If you look close you can see the original chip kinda in the middle and another layer of clear...

Quick question on this.... I had a chip on a corner of my fender which I dry sanded with 2000 grit to smooth the edges of the clear. I touched it up with paint (dark shadow gray metallic) and clear...

Couple of quick shots of a Sonata I did back in July. Interior wasn't bad, all black and just needed a wipedown with APC+ and Invisible Glass.

Outside wasn't too bad save for some minor swirling,...

Welcome... South Hills (Brookline) here.

Your walkthrough and pics make it look so quick and easy!

Nice job on it, it looks good!

Man it looks like you dumped a bucket of blue paint on that thing. Great work!

Just got nice and easy on the wet sanding. One pass, check it, one pass, check. Always work with a high number and go down if it's not leveling out enough.

Less is more, and patience is a virtue,...

Welcome! I am located in Pittsburgh.

It won't allow me to edit the original post, but here is an example of what the clay looked like after about a 12 sq. in. area. Results were similar over most of the car:
...

This car sat in a musty garage for a few years, then outside in the sun, uncovered, for about 3 years. Unfortunately, rust played a part in some of the undercarriage, but it's not TOO bad. The paint...

Little background on this car:

This is my buddy Matt's 99 Cobra that he has had since 2002, and has only been on the road for the past 9 months after sitting a little over 6 years, so it's got...
