When I detail customer cars, I use Wolfgang products.
I charge anywhere from 100$ for car that's in great condition. This includes wash, polish, sealant, wheels + tires and windows.
If I need to clay, and the car is bigger like a van or something, I would charge $175-$200

Depending on size and condition, $100-$300. Most can fit into the $150 -$220 range. I try not to give deals on labour for exterior, instead upgrade to Zaino or such. I do better work than others and they can have their discounted interior work.

ic $200 sounds not so bad. how long do u guys take to complete(exterior only) a middium size car, assuming the condition of the car is bad enough so that ssr3 will be needed?

Whitelude,

If you can find a detailer that will do swirl removing work bad enough that you'll need SSR3, and he'll do it for 200$... TAKE IT!!!

I can tell you from experience, a proper swirl removing job from start to finish and including a polish and sealant, wheels, tires and windows can run anywhere from 4 - 10 hours of work. A job like this would cost a customer between 300$ and 500$. It's takes a long time and involves many many passes with Swirl Removers like Poorboys SSR's. A job like this could involve as many as 8 steps and 10 hours of work to get it right.
SO, if someone will do it for 200$ like I said before, TAKE IT!!! It's a great price!!!
