I'm not charging much for two reasons: One because I want to impress people when their car is finished and two because most people don't want to pay a 17 year old $300 and trust them to polish using a minor abrasive on their cars.
hey guys, we (me and my son) started out with 3 buckets, a LONG ASS water hose, hand sprayer, sponges, soap, wax, etc, using our customers water and electric. to this day we use our customer's water to fill the 100 gal tank unless they dont have access to water and the same goes for the electric... who wants to listen to the generator all afternoon?
one thing that will help you in selling your jobs at a higher price is not using words like "abrasive", whether it be minor or not!!
"a medium "
cut" compound to remove light to moderate scratches, swirls and imperfections, followed by etc., etc, bla, bla, bla" sounds much better... doesnt it? "know" what youre doing, speak with confidence, do quality work and people will pay your price.
for you guys using word of mouth, its a great way to get going but the best money i ever spent was getting in the phone book... do it ASAP :thumb:
