  • Another how much to charge

    I drove past a local used car lot and noticed all the cars have spiderwebbing and some scratches. This is an independent operation and most of the cars are sold for around $10k.

    How much should I charge to just take out the spiderwebbing and light scratches?

    Re: Another how much to charge

    Thats kinda hard for us to guess without seeing them, but I have an Idea.

    Figure out the cost for materials (per car)
    Figure out how much your time is worth (per hour)*figure out how many hours of work (per car)

    YOU GET THE BASIC IDEA

    You pretty much use a homemade formula to figure costs per car

    hope it helps,

      Well each car is different and they have lots of trucks and SUV's too. I'm thinking somewhere in the $75-100 per, but I don't know if this would be too much.

        While I think $75~$100 per vehicle would be cheap from your perspective, it's probably right around the upper limit of what a used car would be willing to pay for the service.

        If you're skilled with a rotary this would probably be a perfect fit for the new D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream as it can get the swirls out and leave a coat of wax protection behind all in one pass.

                Your price range is probable close to what they would pay. See if you can get $125.00- $150.00 for the larger trucks and suv's. Keep your other price for the cars. See if this flies. It's up to you in the end. Good luck.

                      Considering the price of the cars on the lot, seems like if its much more than $100 they won't do it at all.
