To begin i know the forum shows I'm a newbie... but please consider my opinion.
On your a la carte items maybe add some more polishing or pad options... $30-50/ pass. Maybe even add a menu of what color pad and product you would suggest for the job. Where I used to work we could add $50-75/ pad as long as we could justify (sell) the work done. I don't know what area you work in but I'm close to Dallas.

Looks good but where is your paint correction work going to fall.....

[john b]

consider glass sealant instead of water repelent,as far as language goes,package#2 seems abit low.

Hmmmm so if I choose "package 2" I get a wash & wax for $145?

I dont know seems like a little too much IMO, especially since your still new.

Your packages are structured well.

Here is a spreadsheet I made to help create detailing packages. It makes it easy to determine a consistent pricing structure for several different packages with varying levels of service. Maybe you will find it helpful when figuring out the other packages you are trying to put together.

Thanks man! No, not at all. Everyone here has my permission. I will leave it in my dropbox public folder forever so it will always be ready to download. I have a different one with more package options that I use all the time for my own business.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Great. Just wanted to make sure others and I had your permission before we used it.

Probably a dumb question, but what's the difference between clay bar treatment and decontamination of iron particles in paint? Doesn't clay remove those?
