Huge Ford Van!

[BC5200]

I am detailing a Ford E-150 van. They want it fully detailied with a wash, polishing of the paint, swirl removal, full interior minus shampooing carpet, etc, etc. Also no clay bar.



What would you charge?



Thanks

Bradley



BTW- these vans are huge!

Do you know the condition of the van? That would play a large part in determining the price especially giving that it is a extra large vehicle. But, bretfraz basically said what I would've recommended.:up

I'd have to see it to know for sure, but depending on what it specifically needed, $150-200 and possibly more depending on any swirls, scratches, excessively dirty interior, etc.



You are looking at least 5 hours of work if the van is in really good condition to start with, but I'd plan on 6-7 hours.

i agree with scott, anywhere from 150- 200

Vans are big, but easy as they are so big you can just polish away

without any body lines on the vehicle.



on the other has cleaning the carpet takes forever,



i would give them an estimate over the phone and tell them upon inspection of the vechile you will give a final price.

Well, I spent 4.5 hours on the van yesterday and got it all done except for waxing. It got dark and the family was taking some friends to a Christmas light show. It will take about another hour to finish and since I am friends with him I will be charging $125 which he thought was a good deal.

Anyway, I also got a Lexus LS400 to do for his wife and will be doing a 2001 Ford F-350 Duallie for his dad. These I will not give my introductory discount of 20% to.
