How much would this process cost?

wash and clay

flex-orange pad with Menzerna Super Intensive Polish (whichever passes necessary)

white pad with Menzerna Nano polish (whichever passes needed)

3 coats of zaino (z2 or z5 with zfx) with z6 gloss enhancer in between coats

zaino clear seal

zaino grand finale

and of course clean interior and wheels.

so any idea how much would this process cost?

Where are you?

In NY/NJ/CT - $375 -$700 pending expectations.

What are your costs? What is your time worth? What is the opportunity cost? What will your market bear? Seriously, YOU need to decide what is fair price for you and the person you are doing the work for.

For as little as your doing I'd say $50 is fair.. LOL J/K I have no idea it has nothing at all to do with any of us. You're price is determined simply by you're own personal skill level. How well your clients percieve your skill level and your location. I mean in my location I would say that's probably about a $150 detail. In other areas that would go for $500+ for some reason. So there's absoultly no way anyone on this board could even come close to answering this for you. We have no idea what you're actual skill level is. (I can assume not perfect because of a simple pricing question which we all ask in the beginning) Don't have a clue about your local economy and what type of clients you have. safest bet is quote a lower hourly rate to begin with and let it take as long as it takes to get it right. If the customer agrees to these terms then you should be ok.

In California it would be about $500 ... $500 fine for not using a wash mat to capture your contaminants ... lol

Its the three "L's" of real estate in effect. Location, Location, Location.

Such cost disparity for the same effort is purely geographic. It all depends on what the cost of living is in your area.

Depends on what vehicle your doing that too. If your doing that to a Acura RSX, $400ish (roughly 8 hours) if your doing that to say a Ford Expedition, I would say $600 ish. (roughly 12 hours)

Like Brad said, you need to find out what you worth and and charge accordingly. I charge 50/hr.
