  • How much should I charge for this truck

    On Monday I get to detail a truck that looks exactly like this but its red and not black:



    My plan is to use #66 Quick Detailer on my G110


    How much would you charge?

      I figure 8 hours for a mid-size sedan (Camry, Acura, etc). That truck is BIG, and will require working on a ladder to reach the top. For a truck that size, I would estimate 16 hours. Apply your hourly rate to that number,

        I would say either twice what you charge for an automobile or 50% more what you normally charge for a full sized truck. That's a lot of sheetmetal! Not to mention all of the stepladder climbing this job is going to require.

          Looks like fun! Can you have someone take some pics while you are doing the roof and post them with the after pics?

            A lot. I would have to be paid very handsomely to tackle a job like that, otherwise I would tell them to look elsewhere.

                    I had a look at the roof and was shocked to see it practically turned gray. I start at 5:00 am Monday morning and will probably end at 5-6 in the evening.

                    350$ sounds like a fair price to me.

                          350? if it is taking you approx 12 hours to get done, 350 is less than 30 an hour minus products...id say 400, that way you walk with ~25 per hour. im not sure how much QD you will need, but id say 3-4 maybe even 5 times more than a "normal" vehicle.
