Fit08 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 With all this chatter about running a detailing business and or doing it semi full time I'm left with this question I've yet seen asked. Has anyone really figures out a dollar amount for product use. Yes it will vary from car to car but someone must have a baseline worked out. This is my thinking process. Yoy would use say 1/2 bootle detail spary to clay so bottle price/2 Now clay bar divided into 3rds and so on. This is to give you a rough $ amount for product useage. Just a thought??

Z71_Denali Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 half a bottle? i use a full bottle of DS when i clay, plus another half is you combine using it as a drying agent, and as a final wipedown after buffing off your final coat of wax. i would figure: 2 bottles of DS and a 1/4 of a bottle everything else you use. but most people charge on an hourly basis. a full detail can be anywhere from 2 to 24 hours of work depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. if you figure $15 per hour you should make a pretty decent profit if you just like to detail for your friends/family.
