60 hours?
you mean a full week with 20 hrs overtime? This means you charge no less than $1000 for this type of detailing?

if you're doing this as a business then I take my hat off... amazing job, a dream job for a detailer. Clients here in Quebec find $300 to be expensive, cars are in much worse condition both inside and outside due to our winters.

Being in Florida, i can bet that job was right around that price. Especially on a car like that. Gotta pay to play. lol

Even $1000 for 60 hours is a pretty poor income. That works out to $16.67 for every hour of labour without taking into account the products and materials used up.
