Got my Clay Bar today, and I guess I'm gonna be the first here to use that brand!

I'll spell check that... well I'll ask my dad to do that for me...
As for the prices, I'm happy to get comments, but I already have a clientelle that know how I'm good. Some buy the full detailing and others only wants two coat of wax per year. It's been four years now that I do detailings on other cars then my parents car and 5 years that I wash my neighbours car. I already have a pretty good reputation, they always tell my parents that their car are always clean and shining. So my reputation is there for the last... let say, maybe, two years ago. Before that I had a flat waxing rate, $100, if your car needed scrach remover, I did'nt charged more, but now I decided to have more price range. I'll give them an example with my dad's A6, I'll do dtripes on the hood with differents wax option... they will see that way the differences beteween regular wax and a full detailing. Anyway, I have a french pamflet w/o spelling errors.

Haha...okay...
sorry, I got the impression you were just starting out. If you've been doing it for a while, then great...you know more than me about the market and the business side of things. Good Luck! I wish I knew half the stuff I know now, when I was in high school. I could have made a nice living doing this stuff in high school and college. Sure would have beat the $4/hr jobs I was working, and you get to make your own hours!

You should add Aquapel to your list of services.
I've been doing generic testing with the 3m claybar/Rain-x/and Aquapel.
Aquapels far and away the best, seems to be shedding water better and not wearing off either. Your customers will love you for this stuff.
It's only available commercially to people such as yourself. So you should check it out.
