Default FS: Service; Bay area color correction/scratch removal machine detailing!

I'm a hobbyist and have been detailing for a while, usually just friends and family cars.
All machine and professional grade products.

My details consists of;
Exterior -
Wash
Dry
Clay
Compound (Scratch & Swirl removal)
Polish
Wax
Seal
Tire dressing

Interior-
Windows
Leather/Vinyl treatment
If done at my place- below is included
Vacuum

Time will vary depending on severity of color correction needed

Small cars like a Honda fit, civic, or integra may take 2-4 hours
Medium sized cars (Accord/Small trucks-size) may take anywhere between 3-5 hours
Larger vehicles may take 4-6 hours

Prices start here, but may vary depending on treatment needed when I see it;
Small - 110$+
Medium - 120$+
Large - 150$+
Why so cheap? because it's a hobbie, not a job

If you need a lesser or higher degree of detail please PM me what you want done, your make & model, and I'll give you a quote. If you can provide a picture that'll be

The cost of the products used alone is close to 20-30$, I am only charging roughly 10-15/hour as this is just a hobby of mine. I don't live off detailing cars, but I enjoy doing it. Which is why I'm only charging what I feel is fairly cheap, to make my time worthwhile.. at least. I am detail oriented, I do structural engineering as my full time job.

I am available weekends for the most part, but may work out something on the weekdays if it is worthwhile, or if the timing is right.

Not too keen of posting my phone # on a high traffic website, so please PM me if you have any questions.

You car will look & feel as smooth as when you first got it
Drop your car off, or hang out while I do it. I can drop you off at a local shoppin center or Great mall if you want and you can catch a movie or something. I'm at milpitas/fremont border.
I'm also willing to come to you, but a gas charge will be included

Disclaimer: Color correction & Scratch removal does not garuantee 100% removal, but MOST (~75%)will be gone. I use products in which actually removes the scratch & swirl, unlike certain mainstream over-the-counter products which only covers the scratch with filler until the next wash.

They need to be very carefully maintained since they will mark at any touch and absorb ANYTHING that is spilt on them.

The only procedure to clean suede is with a nubuck cloth and a napping brush to my knowledge, in which it would have to be cleaned regularly.. and I really don't want to go up against suede since it is very vulnerable to water marking. It's too much of a liability on my part, for the amount of money I'm asking for, it's just not worth it

Ruel, I have a nubuck/suede erasure bar we could try if I see you on Friday; or whenever I see you. It should work.. I'll keep it in my car

I'll do it for free whoever wants to be the guinea pig.
It's a dry product

JDM ITR Recaros are not made of suede or nubuck..NooOooOb. Is call Alacantara., simple green + warm water should do the work. You can add some woolite in that beezy if you want. Dont scrub too hard or u gon rub off the color Detail my shyt johnny for a #21 with extra green onion, so i can vouch for you

Not ready for your service yet but what do you recommend a fast and easy way to take off hard water spots that's been sitting for weeks? Nothing fancy and consumes time.. just something really fast cuz I don't the water spots to keep on baking onto the paint... thanks in advance.

I agree...some full sunlight shots would help. From various angles. And interior shots too.
