if you guys had a returning customers (3 to 6 months later) that previously had the car polished and perfected (by you) and just wanted the car washed and waxed using Swissvax Crystal Rock, lets say it is a BMW 3 series, what would you charge for this service? I am talking about not layering it, just one application and turn it over to him and this would involve washing outside, possibly claying it, vacuming out car and cleaning carpets. a basic touch up detail with no paint correction but wants the crystal rock what have any of you charged for this? really curious and need to know if I am going to add it to my collection of products to offer godoman
Lets just say your service to wash n clean interior for a 3series is 150 , and crystal rocks costs 1100, but a can is good for 10 waxes($110) ... 150 + 110 = 260. You would ultimately just have to decide how many times you can use the crystal rocks, and how long you will take on the basic maintenance cleaning. 3 month and 6 months is day n night if its a daily driven car.
good answer, although I am about to finish up my concourso and prob got about 20 applications or a little more. I use the cardinal rule with swissvax where less is more so my application is very light and I get pretty good results. what do you mean by "day n night"? did you mean that it would take the car all day or it would be quick? I feel this would be a pretty quick detail say about two hours or a little longer with the tools I use keep the feedback coming please godoman
sorry my day n night analogies suck, lol. what i meant was that if the car was coming back to you but was driven daily after you had polished it up it would look bad at 3 months,, and look horrible in 6 months. Therefore, if the car came back in 3 months it would get get a better rate then if the car came back in 6 months. more work, more time used, more money charged and when a client wants a specific product.. they are gnna have to pay for that product,
not to hijack, but crystal rock is good for only 10 applications?! i've used my Insignis twice now and if you guys saw it, you'd never know.
i have to agree i have a 1oz sample of crystal rock and just by looking at it i think i can get 10 applications with it
I got 70 applications out of my CR. As for what we charge figure $300 -$450 depending on the size of the vehicle.
Yes, I get quite a few applications out of Concorso. Not that I wouldn't love to own a tub of CR but I do not think ANY of my customers would pay an extra dime for an expensive wax. I have Vintage and nobody really shows any interest in it. That said, most of my clientele are Corvette people and they all seem to want and request Zaino.
I like it a lot. My only complaint is the darn sweating once it gets warm which IMHO is a pretty big deal if you like to show your car outside in the sun on a hot summer day. Other than that it is a very nice wax, looks great, good durability and fairly easy to work with. I just hate how my car hazes up when it gets hot. I was using it on my Viper and that V10 puts off some major heat so the clam shell would really haze up bad. I guess it is a love hate relationship.
to supplement Phil's response, I can see you getting 10 MAYBE 15 apps with CR if you used your hands to apply...but I prefer the traditional pad. After 6 applications, the pot is barely starting to show signs of use except for the huge hole in the middle from when I accidentally pushed my finger all the way through when I was testing to see how hard it is:giggle:
