| | | It was my first paid detail and the guy put me on the spot. He asked me how much to detail it (outside only) and I just came back with $50. Little did I know. I did a great job on it though and he later approached me to do his Land Rover. Too bad I wasn't available that weekend, could have made some money... |

| | | Wow $50! You are too nice! My rule is always a minimum of $15/hr. Yes, I am just starting out, but the attention to detail I do/perform is why the price is where it at...it will be higher once I get better. WhiteThunder...from the amazing work you do and from what I have seen you should be able to easily get $200-250 for mid to full sized vehicles (full details). Whatever you do...Do NOT...I repeat...DO NOT...under price and low ball yourself. Just my .02! Thoughts?

| | | fair price is always a subjective thing...for me family is free...friends - no more than 150 bucks even for a big suv (but they get one round of polishing and thats it hahaha..and they will be lucky if i do the roof)...for clients $200+ but they get perfection...but during the "rainy season" in socal i am lucky to be able to get someone to pay me 30 bucks for a wash and wax...

Definitely discounts apply to them. Especially when they hook you up as well with other things and what not! Quote: |
