Ford Excursion 14" lift on 37`s
customer wanted a once over, not a perfect detail. spend 4 hours on the outside, while the wife did the inside, she really saved my butt. He didnt mention that the truck was 12 feet tall, lol... but i love a challenge.
He said the truck had not been washed in 6 months, and i deff believed him...
After`s
he was pretty amazed that we were able to get all of that done in 4 hours. And it was deff a huge hustle.

Here is Travis`s Jeep
I didnt do any serious paint corection with this one, but the paint really did shine up well. The Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax really does bring out a great result. Even with out 100% prepped surface.

for full paint corection, and a detail on a quad cab, your looking at 250ish IMO. and that is for somebody that doesnt have a store front.
i am sure you can get somebody to do it cheaper..... but you may not get what you want..
