How do you price details on bikes? | I do 4-5 Harleys per year, this was the first crotch rocket I've done in a long time. Harleys start at $125 for a basic detail and chrome polishing, Did this bike for $100 (he tipped me $20), took two hours.
I like detailing bikes, more relaxing because you can sit down for much of the detail. | |

I worked on a black Carrera a while back with just the PC, but if I really wanted to get intensive I could have burnished it off with 85RD and a rotary on a real soft pad to make it absolutely glimmer - but the client didn't require that.
