Need some advise..

I've never offered my detailing services to anyone. Even when they have asked me because: "WOW! Your truck and Jeep look AWESOME".

First, detailing my vehicles is a hobby. I love it because I take pride in keeping any possession of MINE in the best shape possible. It is hard work, but they are mine and I care about them.
Trying to get old Joe's car from across the street looking the same is not, and will never be, on my radar.

To back up my point, I was "That Guy" for years and years that everyone came to when their boat wouldn't start, or their lawnmower wouldn't run. I was doing work that cost upward of $100 an hour for free.

"Hey, thanks Paul!" Sometimes that was my only reimbursement. Other times it was "Hey, here's a six pack!". Gee, thanks........

Long story short: Nowadays I'll give you any advice I can. After that, it's all on you.

This is probably the best way to go unless you want to charge a normal for the work. Working for a six pack, never understood that at all.

A guy I work with sees my spotless car everyday and wanted me to do a full detail on his lifted 2018 extended cab BLACK Tundra. Told him $300 and he cringed. Told him minimum 7hrs and figure what our hourly rate at work is and its a bargain. He hasnt committed to it yet.
