Just curious. The detailer works for themselves, they're charging me $225 which is reasonable for what they're doing. If it's their company and they named the price, how much if anything would you tip for a quality job?
Oh it was a chick? Then obviously you give her the tip...tip of the dick.thats why I said "if anything"
I feel like the price is reasonable knowing the condition of the vehicle. Besides that I've messaged/called several detailers that never even bothered to get back to me and one didn't show. She got back to me and showed up early.
Really I feel like its her business, thats the price shes asking for, thats what she gets unless she ended up doing extra things.
I'm figuring the ceramic coating on the Roush is going to be about 2K or close to it early next year some time.

If I'm in love with the way the car looks, which I know I will, I'll throw him a 20 dollar bill.
What the actual ****? 2K? You can do it yourself for less than $200.
NO ****ING WAY!!!!!!$2000 for a ceramic coat? No! My advice, get the car detailed professionally then apply the ceramic coat urself. Its really simple. A full ceramic coat job is about $700-800 around here. Save the $20 bill and put it towards the ceramic coat product.
PLUS!!,.......I said close to 2K.
Maybe 1,700 bucks? I'm guessing here. I haven't gotten a quote yet.
My truck cost me 1k almost 4 years ago.
^^BINGO!!!!!I paid about 1700 for paint correction and Cquartz finest.
I have a black car and it was the best money I have spent in a while.
I said I was guessing at the cost. Most of the guys on the other Mustang forum are paying anywheres from $1,200 to way more than that. I guess it all depends on where you go? Plus, it depends on the shape of your car, angles and all that good stuff. It takes a little while to fully "prep" the paint. You need to get it squeaky clean and get some of the oils out as well. Some paints are softer, some are harder.If ur paying $1700 for a basic one coat ceramic coat then ur getting ripped off bro! The prep or detail before is all that really matter. If u don't know how to or don't want to detail it urself then pay $600-700 for a professional detail that does everything but the ceramic coat and apply urself. Wheels and tires add another 4-5 hours of work but I doubt ur doing that.
A $1000 for ur truck sounds about right. Where are u getting $1700-2000 now?
