What to charge for AIO's

**Emm** · 08-05-2010, 05:16 AM

I started doing some detailing on the side and I was wondering if you guys offer AIO's in your package deals and what to charge? If you charge say $50 for a handwash and wax?

Thats my question if I charge $50 for a basic inside with a wax, what would I charge for a basic inside and an AIO? Done with a DA and green pad?

I'd probably say around 135-200 dollars at the minimum for a true AIO job on a small to midsized compact (This is on the lower end, you'll need to gauge your client base.) You need to remember that an AIO will need to be worked against the finish to take advantage of it's cleaning abilities, this will take time, and don't forget tires still need to be dressed, cars washed and everything else in between aside from the application of the AIO.

I haven't used alot of AIO's, but it should be polished in a different direction?

what i would buy is xmt360 and use it with a foam pad. this cleans/shines and protects the paint in one step! easy as heck to use. this is the easyest way to detail a car in little time. and you can charge 150 to 200 for this .
