i dont make the names up mate
most cars take me circa 10hrs work to detail,a valet i can do in 45mins-1hr
the above cars took me around 10hrs each. if people want there cars done correctly they pay for my time plus products used.if they want a quick valet then they get charged accordingly aswell.
ive got a full time job so just do detailing/valeting in my spare time as i enjoy it.imo theres a big difference between valeting and detailing.a valet round my way consists of a quick tfr wash,dried and wheels cleaned,tyres dressed and interior hoover.they dont clay it,dont seal alloys,get rid of any excess polish been used in the past stuck between badges or between panels etc.and they dont polish or protect the car at all.detailing is thorough cleaning and leaving the car with no imperfections.
plus the amount of cars ive seen/done that have been mopped and left buffer trails everywhere.looks good from a distance but get it under proper light and you can clearly see the difference
