Miata Detailing

If anyone is interested in having their Miata detailed, I am doing a little side business to pay my way through school. Any of you who have seen my car know I do a good job. I just detailed Gary @ Trackdog's yellow track pup.

I only use Zaino products. They are a well known show car polish. This treatment should last at least 6 months depending on what weather the car sees. I can tackle swirl marks as well. I'm not interested in doing extensive paint repair like faded bumpers and other extreme paint damage.

Full detail including clay bar and a coat of Zaino is $125.

Without clay bar is $100.

Do you have a porter cable or is it all hand applied?

Lovingly applied by hand.

Mr. Miyagi taught me well. Wax on, Wax off!

It would take me at least 3-4 hours to detail my miata. Hard manual work for $25-33 an hour. I'll pass. :cat:

please dont think I am slighting BR, it's just that I work about 9 hours for about 25.00 more than that so that is why I said I am in the wrong line of work...haha

however, i do detail mine in about 1 hour for a real good cleaning, less for just wash and wax the outside....but I just move real fast.
I guess that comes from doing assembly line work in the past.

When I think detailing, I think car show clean, you know take each wheel off to clean backside, calipers ect. Just a good cleaning, er uh, I dont clean my cars, it will rain someday. :D

You still doing this? After what Mina has been through the last couple of years, she needs a good clay bar treatment.

Guess I could've called him, but this seemed more convenient since I was already looking at the thread after my Zaino search. I just don't think I'll have the time to do it myself anytime soon and it needs to be done.

Or you could go see him at TDR. Just ask for William.

::Whisp:: William has been doing a good part of the work on his engine removal/re-installation at TDR over the last few weeks. I'm pretty sure they are acquainted. I suspect Geckotech felt it was inapropriate to ask him about his side work while he is at work at TDR.

That really is part of it. Is he still doing this on his own or did he stop because he works with TDR? Maybe I should be asking Gary?

Oh, and although he doesn't remember me :rolleyes: I remember him from a meetup in Grapevine when I got my first Miata years ago back when he had the 10 AE.
