Have you any idea how much work valeting is, for so little money?

Your hourly rate would prolly be higher at McDonalds.

I'm too young to work at McDonalds.

Well I'm not fussed, my lowest price is £15 (told that I should charge
a minimum of £18 for what I do but not many are willing to pay so
much) and soon I'll hopefully be able to paint correction etc.

It's nothing like a hand car wash...no TFR..no acidic wheel
cleaners..no sponges..no drying blades...no chamois leathers...no
putting polish or wax without claying etc etc

So can you answer my original question please?

I would say be very careful where you use it, how much you use and your
customers OK it. I bought an 08 Honda estate from a Honda dealer with 5k on
the clock. I purchased a load liner and was very happy with the car until I
climbed into the back one day and emerged with black hands & black stains on
trousers. I then noticed that the load area floor, sides and rear seat
backs were black but the rest of the car carpets were a very very dark grey.
The rest of the story is more appropriate to uk.legal newsgroup.

Thanks, I am a detailing enthusiast and I am on a similar forum, but I
think I got my answer below

£15 for a full valet? You are having a giraffe.

When I were in valeting carpet dye didn't exist, but vinyl roof treatment
did.

Second hand car dealers in them days used matt black aerosol paint to
achieve the same effect. Known as 'putting on a crinkle' it made cloth
seats look like new. They felt a bit stiff, but the punters buying the cars
knew no better.

Overall black dye, as long as its 'fast' would be a good idea.

I recall the guy who taught me about valeting. He was employed by Ford to
train dealer staff. He reckoned good valeting was like a good hairdresser -
nobody ever noticed what had been done or how much work had been put in.

Nooooo, that's the mini valet (cheapest thing I offer)

I can tell by simply running my hand on the paintwork and observing
the car in the rain...and a lot of other things.

I don't have the same feelings.
