and by the way, you spent a total of 13 hours on the car...and only charged 240? less than 20/hr means you are going to go broke owning your own business...
thanks everyone for the replies, and i exactly thought the same thing about the time. I also emphasize that i have been doing detailing for many years, so im not slow at it or just slow moving in general. This was a big truck, and my helper is awesome as a worker it was just that it was that dirty. He was all upset about the price, personally i think the job was worth around 300 dollars.
