That just might take up most /all of a jar of medium sized wax. Now that's something really to look forward to seeing !

If it is just a wash and wax, charge by the hour do a $35/hr. or something

Charge by the foot.

I believe that's how larger detailers charge for it. Same deal with boats.

As far as that goes, I charge between 10-15 per foot. Interior is extra as is a huge roof.

Hope this helps.

In the DC area an hour massage is around $75.

When Dan Aykroyd is in town he pays $350 an hour. (not my client).

A ""million dollar client"" doesn't expect to pay the same price "we" pay.

That is just my take on it. Don't sell yourself short. You guys do excellent work - get paid accordingly.

Exactly! High rollers like that are willing to pay for quality work, provided you don't try to gouge them.

I get $120 (plus a tip) to simply pressure the exterior and engine on a 44' coach. Deionized water so no need to dry. Clean the exterior windows, dress the tires and mud flaps and I'm done in about 3 hours.
