A friend would like to detail self car.A Hyundai Accent 2008 dark blue 3 doors.She's don't like wash and wax self car and I offered to make this package:

#1:vaccum car
#2:wash windows
#3: cleaning dash and all plastic
#4:wash car
#5:clay
#6:one step cleaner/wax


I'm not sure what price I charge for this package?And if I make a cleaner/wax I think to use Meguiars M06 because Make a 5 steps wil not beneficial for her because she does know what is swirls.
I think is a good package for her and is easy for me to show what can I do.

How much can I charge for this package?
If I use M06 I does need to wax after because M06 have wax?

thanks for your help

So she's a friend huh, how close of a friend?

If you're the slightest bit sweet on her FREE, if not $50.00. You're probably looking at a couple of hours tops. Go with Klasse AIO for a one-step.
 
LOL!! she's my hairdresser!!!I have think about 90$.What do think about that?I never work with Klasse....M06 do have work with him?

I'd go with Bobby's suggestion of free if you are sweet on her. You need to decide if she is a friend or a client.... I got a nice 1.5L bottle of Kettle One for our friend's Audi (multi-day and multi-step) which her husband and I finished off as Martinis in a little over a week. :cool:

I think that I've paid $60-100 for a wash, clay and wax. Then again, I recently spent $300-400 on buying a PCXP and supplies, then several long days to fix a $50 wash and wax that went very wrong. Make sure that you do a great job, whether you get paid or not.

I'm not a pro at all but That shouldn't take any longer than a couple hours unless it's a total mess....I'd make sure I seen the car before I gave a price for sure.

My hairdresser has been my friend for over 20 years. I'd do her Danali for free if she asked. She'd probably do my hair for free if I asked too. Hmmm, I will see her tomorrow morning. Decide if you want her as a client or friend. Is she cute (Une belle jeune fille)?

Most anyone can tell the difference between swirled paint and clear paint when they see it. A hairdresser is an artist so be careful when you think she won't know the difference.

The M06 will remove oxidation and leave a glossy finish, however if the paint is swirled, it will still be swirled. If you price it to pay for the cost of materials and do an awesome job, you are in a good place as a friend. Get her friends to pay you appropriately and teach her about swirling so she appreciates what you do for her! Depending on what you want, it could be different than meeting someone in a club. Hopefully you will get references if you do a great job and want to be a pro. Bon chance!
