cheap isnt always good. Charge what your time is worth to you, and you'll get serious buyers..

cheap people have stuff that screams cheap. Get what your time is worth, and keep in mind that the serious buyers will come soon.
 
I'll be the first to admit that I'm cheap. If I can do something for cheaper, I'm probably going to do it myself. But if I wanted my Jeep detailed and someone said they would do it for $200, it would be in their hands within the hour.

I don't know much of anything about detailing or prices, but $200 seems cheap to me.

Found this online, give it to him.

Good + Fast = Expensive
Choose good and fast and we will postpone every other job, cancel all appointments and stay up 25-hours a day just to get your job done. But, don't expect it to be cheap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good + Cheap = Slow
Choose good and cheap and we will do a great job for a discounted price, but be patient until we have a free moment from paying clients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fast + Cheap = Inferior
Choose fast and cheap and expect an inferior job delivered on time. You truly get what you pay for, and in our opinion this is the least favorable choice of the three.
I have a sign at my desk with something similar. It says; good quality, cheap, speedy - You can pick two.
 
oh man, the looks i've gotten when i've said pricing or even tried to explain what actual detailing even is...

people who don't have nice cars or have pride in their ride don't understand the point of all the work and just give you that look like your trying to scam them.
 
Yea the local detail shop doesnt know what a detail is. I asked em how much a while ago and they said 200ish. I said what do yall use "well we wash and use a good cleaner wax" i said i can do that for a helluvalot cheaper and probably better.

I didnt do his car..thats fine I really didnt want to. I was on vacation. I did buff mine out today with Sonax nano Paint cleaner and a Crimson hydrotech pad..it came out looking AMAZING. this stuff really does work great for super soft black paints.

i love way they sound..but I got this rattle i cannot locate. Everything under there is super tight and nothing moves. I am thinking it might be the frequency of the exhaust is causing something random to rattle i cant pinpoint yet..other then that I love the way it sounds.

I might do a trade for the violators back to the bombs (i know stupid) but if you like it with those camaro cats, i might try and find a set and do your set up!

yeah i can imagine it's just the loudness of it, probably nothing to do with your exhaust and maybe trunk area!

Deep down inside you're just snickering to yourself. :lmao
 
I've seen the process Car Washes do for their $100 details, and I can tell you, thats where you're REALLY getting ripped off. $200 for a good quality detail with paint some paint correction is a pretty great price.
