    Dont sell your self short.
    I do this as a hobby when people recommened them to me. For a 1 step or AIO I still get about $125-$150. Interior just gets vaccum and wipe down. If they want a full interior job its an extra $50-$60

    My first paid detail was a 2006 Chevy Impala two step polish. Took me 10hrs for $80. Never making that mistake again

    Re: I need help is 80 dollars good for exterior detail ?

    I'm just afraid to charge people more than they can and they will say no lol. And i only have brands like menzerna polishes and and high end stuff, so should i be charging way more? I have spent about 4k in the last 2 months in AG. You can see the stuff in the thread where u show what u got from AG.

    Remember is easier to lower your prices than raise them. So start at a reasonable price and lower it a little if you really have to. Supplies is not cheap and you have to value your time also

    I believe it could depend a lot in location to. Just like all other things bigger cities higher prices. Example what is the price of gas or a pack of cigarettes in a place like ny? Last i heard gas was over $4 and cigarettes were around $10 a pack. I live in a tiny town gas now is $3.09 a pack of cigarettes are under $4.
    I'm the highest price detailer any where near here. The next to highest place is almost half of what i charge.

    For a full detail and aio on a mid sized car I get $100 to $150 depending on how dirty it is.
    For a car like yours to do just the out side and remove light swirl marks I've done similar for as little as $75 and it usually takes me 4 to 5 hours depending on if my wife is helping me like she does a lot.

    $25 to $30 an hour here! That's crazy! My dad's cousin has owned a mechanic shop for 15+ years now and he don't charge that.
    I feel if i made $10 an hour I did pretty good considering people around here working at corporations retire any where from $10 to $12 an hour if they are lucky.
