    I also charge by the hour but the constituents in my area like to see a concrete price scheme. I estimate my average amount of time for a wax/wash or full polishing and multiply it by my hourly rate. That then becomes my "starting from" price.

    Thats what I do as well. You know you will be making what you need to for a certain job and you can adjust the price easily for vehicles needing more work.

    My basics I have packages, which will normally give me my hourly rate, then for the intricate stuff like polishing I charge by the hour due to the fact I don't know how the paint is going to act.
