Re: 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS (First Paid Detail)
Congratulations!
Pretty Pictures, but to really showcase your work you need close-ups, sun shots and 50/50's
Not sure where you could save time without you letting us know how Lon each step in your process took
Sometimes small pads like the 3" are tine killers. I only use small pads when I absolutely have to
Nanoskin is a good time saver, you will get a feel for flaying that will allow you to hear and feel when to move in to the next section, this can same some time
For $300, sealant topped with wax is effort you are not being paid for
13 hours is not bad at all for what you did
I don't do it full-time either, so rarely do I have to hustle thru one car to get to the next one. I usually quote 10-12 hours for what you did.

I know what you mean with the 50/50 shots/sun shots. Honestly my mind was going a million miles an hour prior and didn't even thing about it. (something I will need to work on).
What I mean about time... mainly myself and not being organized. Also not having my pads/backing plates together and what not. Just sloppy.
What do you mean by this: "For $300, sealant topped with wax is effort you are not being paid for" ?
Thank you for your comment!

Re: 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS (First Paid Detail)
Great job, nice work.
Honestly for your level of experience and the experience you gained working on this nice car $300.00 seems about right to me. Get a Flex or a Rupes and that in itself will help speed things up. I did a BMW 3 series with a PC and it took me longer than a full size Chevy pick up with my Rupes 15. Both were done with FG400. Also I have gotten such great results with FG400 I only do a one step, you did a two step and two layers of sealant/wax combo. That's a lot of work. The FG400 and Jet Seal probably would have been fine or the Synergy.
The main point is you had fun, got paid for it and learned a lot.
Keep up the great work.

FUNX725 - Bob, thank you! You are one of the members I have learned quite a bit from!
custmsprty - You are right on alot of points! I knew I was going over the top but that's what I wanted to do. I did a test spot with just the FG400 but liked what I saw even more after the Amigo. A Flex is definitely in my future. Thank you for much for comment!
The Guz, Tools17 - Thanks!!!

Prelude,
At first, I was struck at how darker, shinier, and glossier the car became after your treatment, however, I became as equally impressed with how you chose to take before and after pictures from the same angle and distance, and how you laid them out in a very neat manner making for a pleasurable viewing experience. Takes a lot of forethought, and planning, excellent work, and thank you for the presentation.
