Re: Post how much you charged?

the hardest part i have is getting customers..my work is great, way better than any detail shop in town and area for the most part..but once u mention a price like 250, for a full detail, light correction, like swirls or minor scratchs and a thorough interior cleaning, taking me anywhere from 8 to 12 hours, there ready to walk away,some do, but being times are hard now i will lower the price , cut back a lil of the work i would do,just to make something cause i can use it most hte times but when they see my work there in shock, and thrilled that i did detail ther car and i try explaining, it can even look better, but they wont pay over a certain price...

im only a weekend warrior as i dont have enough clients to quit my day job, and sad enough ide only need to make 150-200 per day to get by with out my day job, and still its hard , i go weekends with no detailing work and it sux, really brings me down the one thing i love doing and would do it till i fall a sleep with the buffer in my hand and i just cant get enough interest in my area to stay busy at least saturday and sunday..
