I usually get $200 to 300 plus. Cruisers with chrome I get at least $300. It depends if I have to break it down apart or they will have it all apart and they will put it together.

Paint correction on bikes can be a pain. Find some 2-3 inch pads as you will need them. Also an angle drill converted to a polisher helps in tight areas. Body shop supply stores carry the small pads and backing plates in kits.

VERY time consuming. Bikes are mostly scratched and marred heavily.

Try some Bikebright. It's a spray cleaner used to wash the whole bike. Spray on and wash with it, then hose off. Megs Safe Degreaser works great too.
