It all depends on what i am doing,

as i have a low over head cost your general

wash, wax, dressing ect
vacume, shampoo dressing/protectant
i charge $75 usuall takes me about 4 hrs

yesteday i went a bit above and beyond my norm on that one did the engine bay, multiple steps of wax, interior was almost pristine except the driver floor but a quick hit with my little green machine it was good, so it was $100

and for a bit more i'll go even deeper, but one thing i will not do is touch a black car with a high speed buffer, that was all done with a DA buffer

Damn Justin: If I knew you did that kind of work that good. Hell I'd be over in a min. GREAT job. I had my Chevelle done 4 yrs ago. Guy's was scared of me & a few friends I guess. Only wanted $ 50.00 for 4 hrs of work. I fed him and show him the fridge. Told him take your time food & drinks are there. Plus take a couple of breaks. I'm a old union man I believe in taking breaks. When he was done I asked how much. He said is $ 50. 00 ok. I gave him $ 125.00. Told him thanks. I might just be over later in the yr Justin. Rick
