Question Hummer H1? - 10-20-2008, 09:06 AM

Has anyone every did a full detail on one of these? I have one that is in decent shape to do on Friday. The paint will be getting full correction. I told the client I have never done one but would be more than happy to do it. I couldn't give her a price so she came up with the idea of detailing it then billing her. Just curious on the average hours that might be needed and tips or tricks.

you might need an extra day that's a lot of metal and you'll also need either a ladder or scaffolding ... I'd say you have about the same labor time as a Suburban or Excursion

I was going to detail one last yr and my quote was about 800.00 to do. The owner wasn't happy with the price. I figure it was going to take about 20 plus hrs. Don't forget pic's...........

I do one every couple months, but it is vinyl wrapped so I dont have to do anything with the paint. It still takes me a long time to wash and clean the inside. You'll need more than a day
