EnzoMC - what's your opinion on the folllowing please: How much would one be expected to pay?
The work required that we discussed/agreed to carry out on your Maserati was Paint Correction. This included the removal of multiple scratches highlighted on the boot lid area, improvement of the 'road rash' areas upon the front of the vehicle & side sills (touch ups where necessary). You also mentioned you would be replacing the side sill protection pieces.
Further to the above mentioned corrections, we also discussed the likelihood of many more light marks, scratches & holograms that would appear when under the correct workshop lighting equipment.
The process which that we carry out would be as follows:
Stage 1: Pre-soak of the exterior including Tar removal & Bilberry Juice for the Alloy Wheels.
Stage 2: Snow-Foam applied to the Vehicle & allowed to soak for approx 10 minutes.
Stage 3: Following Stage 2, a hand wash using a traditional 2 bucket detailers technique, using a lambswool mitt & detailing brushes for smaller areas (as seen in your attached video)
Stage 4: Low pressure rinse of remaining soap upon the vehicle.
Stage 5: Drying of the Vehicle using a detailers technique whereby a large soft micro fibre towel is placed on the paint surface & dabbed by hand before being pulled away (also seen in the video)
Stage 6: Inspection of the Paint surface using a 'Sun light' to investigate marks, scratches & holograms.
Stage 7: Each panel worked with a compound in order to remove the surface scratches.
Stage 8: Multi Stage Polishing to restore paint colour & depth.
Stage 9: Application of high quality Carnauba Wax to protect the correction work.
Stage 10: Inspection of each individual panel.
its depends on many factors and what stage 8 entails? enhancment or correction. each detailer has different overheads and products used, eg if large over heads and using top end products like Zymol £2k wax it could be about £500-£1,000 (correction), obvious lower the quality of products or no overheads you may get it between £150-£500, but this could be an enhancement or correction detail.
