You'll want to be a little bit more specific. Are you washing the car? Clay bar? Wax or sealant? Polishing? If so, is it an AIO, a two step, three step, four? Also, where are you located? Region plays a lot to do with what you can charge. Otherwise, my answer is $72. You can't go wrong with the rule of 72.

Claying should usually take less time than washing the car. At least this is the way it is IME.

After claying you need to apply a LSP.. Claying shouldn't take that long. I get a normal size car done in 20 minutes, but that's me. What services do you offer? Wash, clay, polish, wax?

I would do alot more reading, work on your skills before you charge anyone, or work on someone elses car.

This is a good place to learn though.

Last Step Product. This is either a wax, sealant, or any protective coating.

$60 IMO isn't that much of a price break. I usually include claying when I wax someones car, but I usually on clay the hood, roof and trunk lid because thats where most of the contaminants get stuck. If I'm going to correct the paint or someone pays for a full clay I'll obviously do the whole car. Like said before, after your clay apply a LSP. You'll get faster at claying as time goes on and you become more comfortable with it and become one with the cars paint. Good luck!
