How much can I get for detailing?

[NutBucket]

I have been trying for a while to get a small business of my own started, with no luck so far but, I have checked around and I am about $50 less then a professional shop. Here is my charges..

Complete Detailing of Vehicle Includes:

*Washing

*Engine Bay Cleaned and Detailed

*Under Carriage Powerwash

*Trunk Cleaned and Detailed

*All Wheels are Removed and Detailed on Both Sides

*Suspension is Cleaned and Detailed while wheels are off

*Interior is Cleaned and Detailed. (If requested, carpets and seats may be steam cleaned to remove stains, $20 per hour.)

*Body is Hand Waxed (Truck beds are washed out, inside of bed waxing not included, but can be done at $20 per hour.)

*Windows are cleaned

*Small and Mid Size cars, Standard Cab Trucks: $185

*Large Cars, small SUVs, 3/4 ton trucks, Extended Cab, and Quad Cab Trucks: $215

*1 Ton Trucks and Large SUVs: $250 (Dual rear wheels and 8 lug wheels will not be removed)

Vehicle may need to be kept over night to complete detailing depending on condition prior to service being rendered. Service times run from 10-16 hours to complete detailing of vehicle.


Just some food for thought. Detailing usually varies by location, references, and training. Like myself, I have no training, unless you call being self taught training. References are all friends and family. Later

I wouldn't pay that for those services. Most people care about the body; who really cares if the back of the wheels are clean or the suspension? I hose it down when I wash but that's about it. Hand waxing isn't an advantage either. A good machine will apply a more even coat than anyone can by hand. And only wax? What about the clay and polish? If I'm paying for a detail the whole car better be as smooth as a baby's ass when you're done.

<-- just spent 4 hours claying/polishing/sealing yesterday.
