Question about everyones "Wash And Wax" jobs. AIO or dedicated wax?

**Detailed Josh** · 09-11-2013, 10:44 PM

Just browsing some peoples websites to get ideas on the packages they offer and pricing.

For the basic "wash and wax" is everyone doing an AIO or a dedicated wax only (and hopefully up selling to paint correction? since this wouldn't actually fix the paint obviously)?

Just wondering what everyone is distinguishing as a basic cheap wax job as I could see an AIO being worth more because of the potential of an affordable paint correction for those who don't want to pay for a multi-step job.

Got this from Mike's Book btw

I also like the idea of charging by the hour.

I am still and aways learning. So take this with a grain of salt

I do a sealant not a wax because I live in seattle and a sealant is better suited for here. If they want a wax on top of the sealant I charge another $25. I don't using AIO much but have been thinking of adding a package with one.

You can still charge by the hour with prices starting at. I don't give a firm quote till I see the car and look it over.

Thanks for the tip Pureshine

I'd say a wash and wax is more of a maintenance wash and I use a spray wax / sealant to top (again)? A AIO is better applied by machine in my opinion to have any real filling happen.

For just a wash I think a spray wax (sealant) is the way to go. It's quick to do and is unexpensive. I don't think someone wanting to pay for a wash will like the price of the 1 step added on top. Unless that is what they came for and the wash was a needed prep for it of course.

For just wash jobs I use ONR with wax. If they are wanting it waxed after the wash I will use Optimum Car Wax unless they want to pay for something else. OCW can be applied to a car in less than 10 minutes and looks great.
