How much extra to clay bar?

[shortd81]

I`m not too sure I have a rough Idea but trying to see how much you guys would add on to a price for claybar. On a Regular size car, say a Nissan Altima.

I only charge about $10, but it doesn`t take me much time at all to clay. The area I live in won`t pay a ton of money for a detail either, so my prices are kinda low.

How much you get for a wash and vac?

[audiboy]

For that size of vehicle I charge $35 for a wash and vac.


...I had to fix the clay bar price. I didn`t remember exactly what it was and I was a bit off.

25 to 40 bucks depending on vehicle size....

I charge $10-$15 with a polish, depending on the amount of tar. Without a polish it is $20 ($25-$30 for a Black car). I charge $35 for a new finish wash & clay.

this sounds about my range. Its easily worth 25$

[rockz9]

25 -50 depending if they are getting any other extras.......size and condition of vehicle matters also..

I just clay anyways because I know my work will look better and it will only take about 15-25 mins max

Ditto. I clay on a full detail. If I am doing a wash and vac...I won`t.
Most people have no clue to what claying is around here.

~$20.

Until I found detailing webpages in 2002 I had no idea about clay either.

I just feel like poo working on a contaminated surface. Even when I do my moms Tahoe which I know she will never touch the surface and has it washed at a Mistercar wash weekly, I still clay and remove the swirls twice a year.

Yea...It makes it feel that much more smooth.

$20 is my going rate for clay bar work too. Typically it doesn`t take more than 30 - 45 minutes to clay a car, so $20 is fair considering there isn`t much product used up on it.

What type of clay do you use and do you use any chemicals with the clay or just water. I use Auto Magic Clay with Body Shine
