What is a Fair Price?

[Dirty1talian]

Hello Autopia!



What is the typical fair price per hour for a quality detailer?



20/hour, 30, 40, 50??



I ask this because I am going to have my new G35 professionally* detailed soon in the Phoenix area and am comparing requests. I'll pay more for a quality job but I also dont want to be taken and pay something ridiculous either. Also, can anyone approximate how many man hours would be needed for wash/clay/polish/wax a car with new paint?



Thanks. :spot

i think 30-40 is a typical fair price but it all depends on paint condition and what the detailer is doing... i'm sure many detailers will charge you more for polishing than for waxing, etc...

as far as man hours, it all depends on the condition of the car and wether they're doing the interior or not... i've heard anywhere from 5-12hrs

me personally... i avg. about 6-7hrs/car
