location, condition, clientele, color, size.... I rarely charge the same for 2 cars...every car is different. but here is my price sheet...It is a little out dated, and just ball park figures..sometimes more sometimes less...

Some one on the west coast, or even lower states will charge totally different!

5 dollar to wash. 15 to wax. 30 full detail....


lol...


NNo really, its dependant on the job, although I always give original clientelle better deals. My pricing is anywhere from $125-$400 dependant on the amount of days, hours, and products i have to go through.

I'm cheaper than most but this is a weekend business thus far.

That's not obscene if he is doing a good job. Seems a little high for the DFW area, but lots of detailers charge $60-$100 hr.
