He started only recently. Oh, I'm sure he's not good enough for your awesome STI.

Man, you're a prick. This thread has nothing to do with you, and polak doesn't brag about how awesome his STi is. The issue is a lack of attention to detail, not a lack of competance and detailing ability. you're just adding fuel to the fire, bravo champion

Polak could have confronted Alex with his concerns, and settled this privately, and perhaps create a thread if the issue was not resolved.

If he had, we wouldn't be here having all this fun.
 
I wasn't expecting this at all. Been away busy working on a lot of cars and I log in and see this.

First, to the client, next time just tell Alex what you feel is not done correctly.. and go from there. I get a lot of picky clients, and they are my best and most loyal clients. I don't mind being told if I missed something.. it can happen to anyone and I make sure to take my time to make it right.

@ cobrAAA, je crois que tu te dois faire un standard pour toutes tes jobs. J'ai remarque que pas toutes sont pareilles. Certaines tu fais le gas cap, d'autres tu prends des photos papillon ou je sais pas quoi.. d'autres on voir les residus de cire.. cela va confondre ton client. Meme si tu dis que tu le fais pour le fun tu le prends a coeur et ca je le respecte enormement. Donc rends-les toutes "showroom" comme tu dis et charge ce que t'as a charger. Moi heureusement je suis quand meme assez vite donc je peux me permettre de faire un prix assez avantageux et suivre un standard. Je garantis mes jobs aussi contre des hologrammes. Oui tu fais du bon travail, et ta technique de marketing est tres bonne, mais ca se revire contre toi un peu en ce moment. Bonne chance.

Pis je ne sais pas qui qui paye 100$ pour un engine detail mais c'est cher en maudit je trouve.

the boss has spoken
 
In conclusion :

- Polak and DatDere..wtv are two homosexuals taking each others butts and cheap out on a couple of dollas

- CelicaGTS is by far THE BEST detailer !
 
Am I the only one (besides Polak) who thinks $300 should get you one hell of a detail?

Apparently he started at 11:00 a.m., Called at 6:00 P.M., less say 30 mins of wasted time/break is 6.5 hours.

$300 less $50 for supplies /6.5hrs ~ $40 per hour...He could have easily spent another 2 hours on details and still been profitable.

Everyone in this thread is a fucking baller that spends 300$ on a haircut, they all spend 2000$ on their details.

Ah je pense que t'a pas catché... Champion. Étant donné que tu sembles très bien comprendre le français, je vais m'exprimer dans la langue de Molière.

Polak est surement pas un mauvais gars et malgré qu'il nie avoir parti la chicane, il le fait très bien. Simplement avec ses commentaires comme ''blow your engine already et you drive a Hyundai'' en dit long sur la personne. C'est très enfantin et ça ne fait rire personne. Il essaie simplement d'attirer l'attention et de faire mal paraitre quelqu'un ici pour pas grand chose. Tsé, quand tu as besoin d'amis pour t'appuyer sur Internet, c'est que tu projettes parfaitement le profil du loser.

6.5hrs on a complete with a 2 pass paint correction is very fast. Close to what they wanted us to do at the dealership. You end up cutting corners. On a single pass it is doable, I can do it with no breaks for a single pass. And please tell me how do you get 50$ cost on supplied. Have you take the machinery use in consideration? Pads, towels, gloves, brushes, and count the time AFTER the detail. It is way more time than that. CobrAAA and any other detailer knows what preparation requires before and after any work done.

Non, en faite je comprends très bien. Je n'ai jamais dit que j'ápprouve de ce genre de post, mais par contre Polak n'est pas l'origine du bashing dans ce thread. Il a tout simplement donné son opinion et partagé son experience, et là on a vu pleins de commentaires négatifs et des insultes (polak est cheap, etc etc etc). Non seulement est-ce non nécessaire, mais c'est juvenile.

So, yeah, he talked some shit, but here it's a prime example of what came first, the chicken or the egg? This isn't some gay thread in general where people troll each other for shits and giggles. He gave a legitimate review describing what he was happy about, and what he wasn't. If people aren't in agreement, they should learn to express themselves in a mature, respectful manner or bite their tongue.
 
Ive read just about every page and had to Intervine after all this. I have some questions to ask , If I may...
But B4 I do please I want you all to understand that I am In no shape or form of any ******im Hahah had to get that off my chest , Ok so on to my questions

CobrAAA :
1- Why take on a job knowing that It"s actually more then you anticipated price wise ?

OP:
1- Knowing that theres was a conflict of Issue In the price did It not dawn on you that knowing It should actually cost you x-y-z more then the said price , It would make you think twice about the quality of work ?


PUBLIC:
Is there a diff between a 500 dollar detail and a 300 dollar detail job wise ?
