How much is your first package ? I take it the prices are the amts mentined beforehand?

Your exactly in line with my prices here in So Cal.....

My bumper to bumper is 149.00 (Starting)

Interior or exterior starts at 89.00

Wash and wet wax starts at 29.00

Seems a bit pricey to me to start out, especially for the first one. Also, is a Geo Metro the same price as an H2? When you say 2 step wax process, does this mean polish, wax or what? Not sure what that means. No offense, but I wouldn`t consider Megs. Tire gel a big upselling point. Other than that, I think they look pretty good.



Edit: What type of polish and wax will you be using? Machine (PC or Rotary) or by hand?

$60 for a hand wash? Good luck getting that.



Most car washes around here charge about $20 for a `works` wash (wash/vac/windows/dress tires) and my wash jobs run $25-35 depending on the size of the vehicle and I do a better job. Getting above $35 for a wash job would be pretty tough to do in the Dallas area.



At $60, I`d be doing a one step wax on cars, $70 for SUVs/vans.



Other than that, the prices don`t look too out of line.

I appreciate the advice....the $60 package includes quite a bit of work, clay, quick wax, etc. As detailers we should all earn about $30-40 an hour and that is how I configured the package b/c in reality I don`t really want to sell the basic package.



The first package is actually $30 bucks, oops. I have been tellling most people that anything larger than a regular midsize car is an extra $15 but would need to look at the car.



I use CarBrite Laserbrite polish and Carnubua wax in te 2-step process.
