How much do you charge for a rinseless wash (doors locked)

**Real Riders** · 10-14-2013, 06:52 AM

I have a two cars that are side by side in a parking lot. The doors are locked and the owners are at work. How much would you charge for each car for a full exterior rinseless wash including cleaning the wheels and dressing the tires?

How much would you charge for each car?

Me: $75 each. But I'm not in the biz.

I charge between about $35 and $49, depending on how many times the client has me come out each month. Basically, I have packages ranging from $49 to $149 per month.

Well, I thing it would range from $30 to $45, but it also depends on some factors, how much time I work with the client, how many times per month.

I charge between $35-55 just depends on car size.

You have previously discussed (hopefully) this rinseless-washing with the vehicles' owners...
and without a mention of the amount to be charged?

Do you know what your market will bear?
Are the vehicles equipped with alarms?
Have the "managers" of the parking lot given their written permission for: on-site "detailing"?

I don't do this for a living, but if I did I would charge one hour per car.

This B.M.P. is consistent with the letting of nearly all NPDES permits.

And for the most part...
If a Company or any entity that owns/manages a parking lot isn't what one would consider: "bad-azz enough"...
They know, full well, that the proper enforcement authorities are just a call away.

Most unauthorized detailing operations, then, are immediately shut down---usually with a hefty fine to pay.
Not a laughing matter for most folks.
