Default Some pics of a boat I detailed

Well, its sort of paint and body related

I detail his boat quarterly now, this is the 2nd time doing it. the 1st time it was in really bad shape and the gelcoat was super dry. I told him with a dark blue boat, he needs to keep on it regularly. now he calls me every 2-3 months to do it, as well as his vehicles


before on the left. right is freshly compounded. no wax yet.


no wax yet



waxed



this particular boat takes me 2 days to detail and I charge him $1000.

yea he probably has money, most people do down here. Owning a boat isnt cheap, thats for sure. I detail it every 2-3 months and I get $1000 each time. Plus I detail his cars, lol

I bill out jobs so that I make ~$50/hr. that is a fair price for a sevice. but If I do 2-3 boats a week I make some good money

I usually do a good mix of cars and boats. cars are less work and less money, but just as profitable.

Thats pretty fair in my opinion. Detailing a boat would be a fair share of work I'd assume, in comparison to the cars I do. . Great job!

If you have the patience that must be a hell of a business to be in.
