I do hand washes all the time for my customers. I'm not going door to door so they have to come to me, but for what it's worth, I do two bucket wash with foam gun, VRT tires and exterior glass.

 

Small - 35.00. 911, Vette mustang, etc. 2 door stuff

Medium - 40.00. A4, Benz sedans, Lexus sedans etc.

small suv - 45.00. Escape, crossovers, etc

Large suv - 50.00. Cayenne, X3/X5, etc

 

You get the idea. Any extras need to be discussed but I think once people see the difference in quality, you will get busy! Go for it.

Okay thank you for giving me the prices so I can start to think about it. Also what do you mean by exterior glass? Just using glass cleaner or glass sealant?

Probably a lot depends on your neighborhood.  Do neighbors now wash their own cars, not wash at all, or go to local $10.00 car wash?

Well, I think that some people wash their own car not properly. If people go to their $10.00 car wash, I could tell them that it won't get rid of all of dirt, brake dust,etc, and I definitely can tell them that I can do a better job than a $10.00 car wash. 

I say go for it.  It's good to see someone wanting to go and work for their money instead of expecting it.  

 

Go door to door.  

Have a "menu" of sorts that describes not only what you will do but prices for additions such as wax/sealant, interior detail, etc.

 

 

Dont' get discouraged if some people say no.  Some might prefer to do it themselves.  But if you get a couple done word of mouth can spread quicker than you think in bad and good situations.

I don't know how to price the sedan, truck, crossover, suv. I just don't know if people are willing to pay a higher price than going to a $10.00 car wash. 

I am a 15 year old that loves cars. I was thinking that I should wash cars in my neighborhood during this summer. I use mostly Adam's product and I always use the foam cannon and pressure washer as a pre-rinse for my dad's car. I was thinking about using the foam cannon every time, and then rinse it and then start with a 2 bucket method and wash it with a microfiber mitt. For a mid-size sedan, I think the price should be about $20.And then, I could ask the owner if they want VRT on trims/tires, wax on the paint, and liquid paint sealant as an option. I want to hear your own opinion and advices. ~Brent
