Do you not do any 'detailing' yourself Amos for the talking you do about it?

[big_pete]

I'll do it for free to prove a point, how about arranging so a show and shine judge marks both cars and then it will be fair?

Perfect chance to bump your prices up a bit. Bass will be getting on like Def Leppard's drummer.

So any of the VALETERS up for this....

Get the sand and water mix ready....

the most i would ever charge would be 200 and thats for around 15-20hrs work plus materials, rent, rates, electric etc. My target market isnt primarily rms. 200 isnt alot of money compared to the value of your car. Its just protecting your invvestment.

Thats more like it

I could go out tomorrow and charge £25/hr for my work no problem, BUT im not greedy and dont rip people off.

you talk some crap sometimes, to be totally honest

have you ever used G3? if so you would realise what it is, and that it has a place to be used in valeting/detailing.

Same with myself, I don't really care what people call it as long as they appreciate the attention to detail and care I have for it. Thats why I get annoyed when people think that its too dear, whats 200 when you consider what people spend tuning/styling and maintaining their cars. All detailing really is, is restoring and maintaining your paintwork as best as possible. Doesnt matter how much you do to a car if the paintwork is a mess it will always let the car down.

£200 is only 3.5 tanks of blinking petrol!!!!

LOL - thats 3 trips to a petrol station.... or.....

A track day at kiky - 3-4 sessions on the track £90 + 2 tanks of fuel - one to get there and back + one for the track + tyres- £200! - thats like 1hour of fun....

Get it valeted at £100 if you dont notice the difference........

And your point is?

Mine was I cant see how any of you can justify charging £20-£25/hr when all you are doing is buffing a car.

I just love it when people bite BA

If people are happy they will pay

If they dont really care they will look for a cheaper option

Each to their own....

Baz can do them all if he wants

 

[B A Baracus]

But why should they pay that when realistically you could charge £15/hr, STILL do a good job and STILL be well paid?
