I am at the point where I would like to test the waters of detailing part time. I have a few vehicles under my belt and have put together a couple packages that I would be comfortable offering. My goal for this year would be to offer a relatively simple set of services to earn some money and gain some experience while decididing if I would like to pursue a future in detailing. If so, I would attend some training courses during the off season next year and prepare to try and take the business to the next level.
Here is the main package I would like to offer and some of the proposed products I would use
Deluxe Detail - Starting at $149 2-4 hours to complete
- Foam and Wash Exterior
- Dress Tires (Meg`s HD or Perl)
- Treat Wheel Wells (CG Bare Bones)
- Clay Exterior
- 1 Step Paint Polish (D151, KAIO, or BF TPnS)
- Advanced Sealant or Wax (Opti Seal or BF WD/CS)
- Clean Wheels
- Clean Mirrors
-Clean Windows
-Vacuum Interior
- Clean Dash Surfaces (Steam)
- Clean Nooks and Crannies (Steam)
- Wipe and Clean Door Panels (Steam)
- Clean Cup Holders and Console (Steam)
- Dress/Protect Interior (303)
- Clean Carpets (light)
- Clean and Condition Leather (Steam, OPC and Tantex)
- Clean Doorjambs (Steam)
-Final Inspection
Some of my upselling opportunities would be engine cleaning, advanced paint correction, stain and odor removal, headlight restoration and rock chip repair. I`m still trying to work out the pricing for these items.
What do you all think?
I would also like to hear some feedback on the different prices for different sized vehicles i.e. small $149, mid $169, large $189 or just one flat price.
Thanks,
Brandon
