I've done a few detailing jobs on the weekends as I am only a High School senior. I spend somewhere between 3-6 hours on sedans ( depending on it's condition). And i usually charge somewhere from 50-60 dollars. I apply all my products by hand ( although i just ordered a PC 7424) and have great results. I've only done friends and family members cars although I am looking to do weekend detailing in my town with some small advertisements.
My question to those more knowledgable than myself: Do you think it is more economical to charge a client by the time spent detailing or set up a package price ?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

For example, since an SUV is going to take longer to detail then a small compact car, it's only reasonable that the owner of a larger SUV will be willing to spend more money (for the same basic package) as compared to what a compact car owner would want to spend.
You could basically figure that a larger vehicle would take about 25% more time to complete than a mid-size car, so the price should be about 25% higher. And since a compact car would take about 25% less time than a mid-sized car, that price should be about 25% lower.
