Hey guys, so I have a full time job already but I get a lot of comments at work about how clean and nice my truck always looks. I like to wash and wax and detail my truck and people joke about me cleaning their cars. So today I agreed to wash and wax my boss's wife's minivan. I only charged $40 and it took about an hour for a quick wash and wax with some good liquid wax.
Now I know $40 is cheap and pros charge hundreds and you get what you pay for, but I've had a bit of interest from people about just a quick wash and hand wax. I also said I would do it in their driveway using their water and they are fine with that. I use microfiber towels, foam applicators and a quality car shampoo. I also don't have the time or want/ need to do a full 4-6 hr detail in somebody's car tho I do have a shop vac for extra $$.
I'm mostly interested in a "client" who just wants an exterior hand wash and a wash and wax combo. Keep the job to about 1-2 hrs.
What would you guys pay for a hand wash and a hand wax. Like I said I did it for $40 today and the owner was pleased and I've had others say they would let me do it for $50 and a wash for $20. What do you think for a few quick bucks after work and on the weekends?
