Yes I still do it on the side when I get a break from work.
Just did a New Honda Accord. Did a strip wash to break away all wax and residue, Clay, then rewash,, used a paint cleaning lotion, then applied wax..
Cleaned the Tires and wheels applied protectant.
General inside cleaning, Vaccum and wipe down,, That was 70.00 Newer vehicle. If it was SUV would add 20.00 to price.
Basic wash,, no wax,, wipe down inside,, Shop Vac inside,, looking 40.00.

If I wax a vehicle, I like to strip wash and clay if needed to get paint smooth. Anyone can throw some dish soap in a bucket of water and wash then wax their car. That is not what I do. I used to use Pinnacle, but I now use Adam's products.

Adam's Premium Car Care - Cleaners, Waxes and Polishes Made in the USA

The products are top of the line. I take my time. usually about 3-4 hours to finish, depending on size of car. I just did my personal SUV. took 2 days, but I also used the Porter Cable to remove most of the swirl marks and applied a sealant, then waxed 24 hours later.
I have done other vehicles with the polisher, time consuming to say the least. 2 -3 day job depending on paint condition. Did a 2008 Toyota Camry, full polish, engine detail, leather treatment 200.00.

I do it at my house when I get a break from work. The Villages is building so Not to many breaks. Any questions yell and I will help you out.
