1 step polish+LSP $$$???

Anyone can upsale this or that, but if it comes down to making an extra buck or being completely honest, I'll choose the latter, that's what my client's will remember. :goodjob

Agreed.



No point in upselling a correction to someone who won't do what is necessary to keep the car looking good. I try to find out their current car care habits and if they willing to make needed changes to their routine if necessary when helping them decide what level of detail works best for them.

Seriously? I disagree... your work and results should do the "selling" for you.:waxing:



In this case I purposely lost out on money in order to be up front and honest, I could have sold him on the $400 dollar polishing, but I know it would be wasted efforts on my part as well as wasted money on his part (since he's trading it and not selling it privately) and I'd rather not do either for me or my client. You never know when or how that will come back around on you later.

Hey man i completely agree with you, but theres a lot of good detailers that cannot even sell wash and wax for 75 bucks, you have to be good at explaining what is the importance of doing it, and how the customer will benefit from it.

I charge $250 for my 1-step jobs (+$50 for larger SUV's and Trucks) Most jobs take me 5-6 hours.

exact same here!

I wish I could charge some of the prices discussed here. Almost everyone I speak to wants their paint shiny does not care about a correction.

I charge $150 for just a one step cleaner wax and the interior detailed. As well as tires and wheelwells dressed, glass cleaned etc. Takes me close to five hours.
