I have a customer that was a quote on a helicopter. What would a good price be for a wash and wax and just a wash?

I would say post this up on the AutogeekOnline forums and you may get a few more bites

I have zero experience with anything that flies but I would figure that you need to figure out your hourly rate and charge according to your best estimate. Helicopters, like planes, vary greatly in size.

The other thing you should be careful of is their are specifically approved products and procedures for cleaning things that fly. For example hydraulic fittings, exposed houses, and wiring. Given that many of the helicopters vitals are exposed (the levers that pitch the rotor blades, for example) I would be very cautious about taking on such a job.
