    Not sure what your taking about? Not sure what your charging but when your putting in 15-20 hours of work That's About 66hr. So before you open your mouth make sure you know what your talking about. This is why I don't post here much anymore.

    My prices start @ $600 for a compact car with my lower level coating and start @ $900 for a compact with CQuartz Finest. This only includes a polish, so if additional correction is needed it jumps up at least another $200.

    What do you mean? Do you pay less for a new car in Seattle than LA?

    How about housing? Is it cheaper than in Tennessee?

    Do you even understand what it takes to correct an old and black car?

    I'd be at $1250 for a 2-step and normal CQuartz.

    Re: How much to charge- two step + c Quartz

    We'd be at $1100 for a 2-step correction and our basic ceramic coating on a full size car... $1300 for a 2-step with our professional grade coating.

    There is an incredible amount of time and work that goes into these jobs that many people undervalue. Stating that this is "robbery" just indicates we're either doing completely different types of services (from a time perspective), or someone is not charging nearly enough for their hard work.

    Consider taking your vehicle to a dealership for a repair. If they have invested 15+ hours of labor into fixing your car, do you think it will cost you just a couple hundred bucks? Detailing is no different - the customer pays for the labor and the knowledge that their detailer should posses to do the job better than anyone else can. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is very true in the service industry for the most part.
