View Full Version : Might have a client
Well I might have my first client next week. A friend is recommending me to him and he wants to give me a shot.
He has a f-450 he wants cleaned in and out. Shampooed, waxed and interior cleaned.
How much would a job like that cost for you guys ?
I'm going to him and he is supplying the pressure washer.
I will be using optimum shampoo, and spray wax or pinnacle SSII
Interior is going to be wiped with CG inner clean.
(I might be able to squeeze in a clay bar in the detail)
Friend says he doesn't know the difference between waxes, shampoos.
She went as as far to tell me I can use cheap shampoo, wax and he won't know the difference. He basically doesn't care as long as its clean.

Since its your first customer I would go the extra mile and impress them.
Word of mouth is the best advertisements you can do. As for price I don't quote interior cleaning till I see the car.

x2 I agree.
But don't sell yourself short, because an F-450 is a friggin huge.
I wouldn't hesitate to spend the little extra time making sure its a great job. But the way my friend puts it is kinda harsh. " they don't care if you have the best products" clean is clean
If you take your time and do an outstanding job chances are he won't care.
Since you guys are experienced what would you charge for a job like that ? Clean it, spray wax it. Done ?
Regardless I'm going to make sir words great job.heknows a lot of people and will survey pass the word that I'm not one of those 10$ wash n wax details

$250 minimum... to include:
- Pre-Foam & 2BM wash
- Door Jambs
- Wheels/wells/etc
- D156
- Full interior steam clean, wipe down, and q-tip/toothpick dash detail
IF it's totally trashed it might be more. That a big friggin rig. Good luck!

This is where I would start at. Maybe the interior for $25 more if it's not too bad.
Good luck!
I just got my first dealership contract today, and I have 3 cars to detail tomorrow, so maybe things are picking up all over! (Detailing season is starting woohoo!)

Wow that's a heck of a price. I don't think I'm up to that level of detailing yet that I can charge that much. I will be speechless if I can build a good clientele with doing his car.
Intimidated with that size car now

What you have to keep in mind, Is that down here they're are so many hack "detailers" That mainly wash cars, and spray wax. Most charge $20 in and out for cars and $30 for trucks/suvs. Spray wax may add $15 to the bill.
If the guy doesn't care about your products. He more likely to hire them because of price.
I agree 10000000% about knocking it out of the park and going the extra mile. But you gotta factor in the process as well.
When I reconditioned that e150 in a thread I posted about a month ago. That was my homerun Derby. It took me four days (while working my night job) to do it. The bill was just over $600, but that included me paying a painter to paint the bumpers and parts. He too didn't care about product. But after he saw it. ...... I got them knocking at my door now.

I would start at no less than $300 and leave about a $50 window....that is a huge truck and depending on the condition, you are about to put some hours in.

Exactly!
I would charge $200-$300 btw
Figure out how much you charge an hr, and how long it would take to complete the job. AND POST BEFORE AND AFTERS!
