how much is the average professional detailer cost

The answer to this is going to vary greatly upon location and type of service. Anywhere from $25-50/hour is not uncommon, a few are closer to $75/hour.

like shine said, depends mostly on the detailer and location.

on wash/wax jobs a detailer will earn $30-50/hr and will increase if paint correction is done.

I don`t see many hourly rates here on the West Coast. It`s usually just a flat fee. Would you just give the client an estimate of how many hours you think it will take and then do the final calculation afterwards?

I thought about doing flat rates (there are exceptions) but I think ultimately it would be best to do hourly. Plus I still have the ability of incurring other charges for additional things such as costs for mobile details that are more than 15 miles away from me.
