BrIaN EG2 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 if you really want some wheels i can try to find you some when i get home on RnR, i know of a few friends that collect OEM honda wheels (ex: Si's, blades, etc) i might be able to find you a set of Si's with decent tires for 250ish. that is if my friends have them still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 So when you getting rims on Accord???>_< Seeing Teggy, then Sig is like Lol.....I noticed that too.....awesome integra and then stock accord. I'll probably just wait until spring to get some wheels. No sense in putting wheels on it in time for the winter ice and salt to beat them up. I'm leaning toward some stock Accord EX (94-95) wheels and paint them body colored white or some Accord SE Wheels and leave them with the stock finish. I'd prefer the SE wheels but they are harder to find (I have yet to find a set for sale actually). I need a drop more than rims though, 4x4 status is FTL....big time.

Cause I don't have the money for it now and I don't want to buy stuff that I have to store and take up precious space in my garage. I'll do it in stages come spring and might try to kick off my detailing hard again next year to fund it (and need some funding for new camera gear).

When I was running mine out of garage I was charging $150 for cars, and $200 for trucks (which are easier than cars) ,and SUV's were $225.00! Then got burned out on interiors, and went to exterior and engine bays only for $100.00 flat! Now I only do mine, and families, and old repeat customers!

Then got burned out on interiors, and went to exterior and engine bays only for $100.00 flat! Now I only do mine, and families, and old repeat customers! It depends on what I"m doing. My lowest package is a wash, wax, interior vacuum and wipedown with protectant. It ranges from $75-$125 depending on the size (everything from a metro to a 4 door dually truck). Then my packages go up from there depending on how much work is needed on the paint. Polishing paint is my specialty. The Mustang I did in the link below ran about 200-250 if I remember correctly and I undercharged a little (took me about 8 hours on the paint. I got 3 more cars out of the Mustang job though. Mustang GT Detail Recently I've been doing mine for families but even that I"m pretty much quitting. Family is starting to expect it for free and screw that. I did an SUV awhile back for $250 and it was a wash, interior, engine, clay bar, single polish and wax (took me about 8 hours on the enitre thing. If I had to do the polishing like the Mustang on an SUV I'd probably charge $400-450. Edit: Keep in mind that I can do a wash and wax in less than an hour (I've gotten good) and interior in about an hour on a midsize car. So I'd be making $75-100 for a 2-2.5 hour job. I try to get between $25-40 an hour on the bigger jobs like the Mustang and between 40-50/hour on the smaller jobs like the wash/wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Who you using for detailing supplies??? Depends on what exactly I'm buying, but I use autogeek.net for quite a few things especially since they carry the pads I like for a good price. I also use Excel Detail when possible cause his service is excellent. Sometimes I order directly from the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
