I was just contacted by Renegade motor coaches, wanting a 77 foot coach detailed, I belieive it is new, but how much per foot is a good base? int/ext

77 foot? Unpossible. Probably more like a 45 foot.

Inside and out, or just outside? $20 a foot for just outside to wash, polish and seal.

Motorcoach and Stacker trailer that is 77' long and 13'4" tall, this was cut from there email. I am on there website now trying to figure it out. They look like the RV's that rock stars travel in

from the specs I am guessing they meant to type 44, not 77

I quote them at $15 a linear foot for basic outside wash, AIO and seal.

I like 20 better, I am busy as hell and I may quote higher and just see what happens, I am waiting on some pics and actual measurements

Wow, $20 a foot?? Isn't that a little on the cheap side for a wash, polish and seal? That's at least 3-4 steps. That's going to take about 3 days easy inside and out.

Check with boat detailers and find out what they're charging per foot.

Frank (Mirrorfinishman) wrote an article for Professional Carwashing and Detailing magazine on this very subject. I believe he said to divide the length by 2 and multiply that figure by your hourly rate. That was for exterior only though.

$20 per foot price is outside only. Never really done a full interior on one, just polished the brass rails and wiped down the hard surfaces.

Wash, polish and seal on a 44' coach takes me about 15 hours total, about 9 when my older son helped me on the last one. A real time saver is to polish with Poli-Seal and remove with Optimum Car Wax. Holds up pretty well, especially since coaches like that are rarely left outside except when actually being used.

I don't know, I've never done a huge vehicle like that, but still seems a bit cheap for a 3 step process on the exterior.

I'd charge more but that's just me.

If thats the theory i kinda like getting paid 900.00 for that lol

i charge 15 for a one step, 18 for a onestep plus OCW, and 25 for a wash, compound onestep plus ocw...outside only
