GCSurfer Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just wondering to the people who pay to have there trucks waxed. Where do you take it, and around what do they charge. I want to get mine waxed, but not sure where to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I do.... I buy the wax and then i wax it I'm the guy who gets paid to do the waxing.... it pays good money if you have a good list of clients... most people aren't willing to do it and will pay good money to have it done...

scorpioss Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 i had it done a couple months ago at bubbles car wash in houston and they did a good job. 4 hours and $150 later. i got a guy now who will come to my house and do a complete detail ( interior and exterior) for $200-250.

GCSurfer Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ouch... Little more then I would like to spend. Guess you get what you pay for. Maybe I'll do it myself when I get enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbomark Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I also detail others in my spare time. Kinda a hobby and alot of people don t or can t do their own. I work in upstate NY where money is tight so I only ask about $125 for in and out/ polish and wax. Mosts are happy to pay that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCSurfer Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Do you guys use a buffer, or all by hand? And about how long does it usually take you to wax? Just curious, I'm guessing I could get it done in about 2 - 2 1/2 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, I'm guessing I could get it done in about 2 - 2 1/2 hours... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It depends on the condition of the paint... just a basic wax will take me around 3 hours, thats with a wash and everything waxed by hand. I can cut it down to about 2 hours if i use an orbital buffer. I can take up to 6-7 hours on it if the paint is in poor condition, IE lots of scratches that need hard buffing... I generally charge from 100-150 depending on who the client is or how much work needs to be done. I also charge for materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
