Okay, so this has got me thinking.... smart idea. This would cover the possibility of being paid correctly for a really difficult job. But what happens when a customer doubts you when you take a longer time to finish a job? I'd love to institute this system, but you might get customers iffy about how long it takes you to finish a job. I do a lot of estimates over the phone after seeing only pictures of the car for a ballpark estimate. I'd feel bad if it takes me significantly longer than what I had quoted...

Also, how do you factor in premium products? Such as using a higher quality wax or polishing compound versus a lower grade product?
