Scott, I like the way you have your business pricing set up. It's actually more of what I am attempting to do except with the confusion of breaking down services and packages.

That's really cool that you mentioned them because I work right down the street from there in an "upscale" body shop. 85% of the "detailers" in the Hartford area are your typical hack production detail centers. Most charge $1-200 range and do run of the mill work with production chemicals. I...

Awsome so I'm basically working for free! Would you guys mind telling me your prices per service or linking me to your websites? I need some sort of guide to see what others in industry are doing.

anyone?

Whatsup AG, It's time again to restructure my prices as I gain footing into the exotic car game. Thanks to all your expertise and help here is what I established for pricing spring 2013: $160 - sedan -$180 s.u.v. -wash (degrease), clay, wheels/jambs cleaned, wax, tire shine, muffler shined...

anyone?

What's market price for application of window,paint,wheel coatings such as gtechniq, simoniz, etc? What do you guys on here charge in ADDITION to details? I'm on the line of offering these awsome coatings due to recent interest but I have no idea what to charge for them (by the job or hour)...

Sorry for being unclear, but I finished with m205 on white 5" LC pad using my porter cable DA. That's why I'm a little stunned at the results.

Whatsup AG, Today I decided to overhaul my seriously neglected daily driver. It's a 2006 subaru impreza and it doubles as my work car. I've used this thing on construction sites, when I auto X'd (youtube this), and its even been in a few fender benders (none my fault). NOT TO MENTION, this car...

Hey Autogeek, I'm a college student taking my business to the next level and introducing a maintenance program. Currently, I charge $160 for a full detail on a sedan, and $200 with a one step polish on rotary (takes about an hour), my third package/price point is paint correction which is...

Seems like CD2 is being mentioned more than the others. What exactly does the abbreviation stand for?

Not so much, car was picked up at the end of the day. On top of that, I don't have contact with the customers as I am on the floor.

I figured it'll be a shot in the dark but maybe something similar will surface!!

Autogeek, Today I was cleaning a post accident repaired car at my body shop so it's tidy for the customer coming to pick it up. It felt too clean and there was dressing on the doors, first signs of it being detailed. Then I popped the engine, it looked brand new. The car was clearly detailed and...

A buddy of mine called me up to take care of his new, but used, and heavily neglected C300. Swirls where the name of the game, ended up doing a 2 step exterior with some mild interior cleaning. Never had so much trouble buffing a car before. This was the ceramic clear coat and the microfiber...

Fellas I have an important question for those of you who have experience with the meguiars correction system. I have an amg mercedes coming in with ceramic clearcoat coming in saturday. I have read the wonderful wonderful write up by mike on ceramic clear so I understand the risk. Well the owner...

Yeah I learned from an exotic car detailer in my area that I worked with for a few weeks. He told me there are 4 nozzles for a reason. But, I spray the jambs/gas tank door with APC and agitate with boars hair brush. Then you use the tighter nozzle that comes with the PW and do it carefully to...

Quality might not have been the best word to use, but the ease on wheel wells and wheels cant be compared. Also I pw the door jambs, gas tanks, and trunk jambs so going with pw. The tank would be held in place by 2 tightening wraps.

Not anywhere near the quality and easy a pressure washer will provide on SOME neglected cars.

Mobile rig guys with water tanks aboard, what complications did you encounter assembling your system? The reason I ask is because I'm looking to fit my Subaru Impreza sedan with a 26 gallon water tank in my back seats. I am going to run the feed line from the back seats into the trunk where I...
