Also, if any of you guys refer people to me, have them mention your name and I will give you a small % of the sale for just mentioning mentioning my name to them.

Looks like you do a good job! I might just have to look you up when i get some cash together but before i do that... how many layers of wax do you do when you wax the car? Just one or more? also how do you wash the underbody?

Eh, are you mocking me?

Layers of wax, one layer typically. I can do more if you so please, but it will cost alittle extra per layer.

The underbody flush consists of me getting underneath your car with a hose and blasting the hell out of it; this is the same thing a car wash joint claims as an underbody flush, they just shoot water up under your car. Only problem with theirs is that its a machine doing it, so it can't see if one area requires more attention than another.

I, being a human being, have been blessed with sight. Therefore, I have the advantage.

3 layers is abit of overkill, plus there's no way in hell I could charge what I charge now and do one more layer of wax. I'm already charging only about half of what most places do.

Point in case: I charged $90 for a Toyota Sequoia that was quoted a $220 somewhere else!
