Very nice job, I know from previous experience that it took a long time of back breaking work to clay, polish, and fully detail that large SUV and the price for the service reflects that. I hate detailing big SUVs especially if it involves claying/polishing because it just takes such a long time of backbreaking work. I usually set a pretty high price and explain how long it is going to take when someone wants a big SUV polished that they normally skip the claying/polishing, occasionally someone still wants it done and will pay the money for it though.
