Re: Detailing Business help...

Where are you located? Pricing structures really are based on your area and once your established you can start to go up on your rates.

Re: Detailing Business help...

by the looks of it...it should suffice...then again depends on the price u wanna offer..
However u can start werking with the basic steps..
Like
1) washing
2) claying
etc etc..

then based on the package u stated...u can add up services like..
interior vacuuming, dashboard trimmings, applying of synthetic wax or natural wax..

werk ur way thru...

Good luck

Re: Detailing Business help...

ehuth1 i live in south jersey (medford specifically, but the shop will be out of Cherry Hill...25 minutes down the road)...the area is prominently upper middle class individuals/families with a few areas of upper class extremely wealthy...such as medford, haddonfield, cherry hill, moorestown, voorhes...and i cant forget that the city of Philadelphia is about 10 minutes down the road...

well i plan on calling up several places in the area to find out how much they charge...

i know that at lexus were i work, they charge 200ish for a full detail (and unless im doing it, generally thats a one step paint correction)...

...but i did plan to call local places and find out their prices...maybe i should go and see their work too...

...would you think most places are willing to show their work?

i was also planning to offer engine detailing as well for like an addition to most packages and maybe that would be general for the ultimate...
