I am not talking to the professional level with paint correction ect, but just to the standard of your own car using all the types of products mentioned in this thread.
Looking at the state of some of the cars you see in car parks it wouldn't be hard to exceed peoples expectations with a general clean and tidy.
If so what would you charge?
Or is it something to stay away from and not bother?
I dabbled with that until March/April last year when Covid hit. I am now doing a few to supplement my income. I have everything I need to do it a high standard.

Something to keep in mind would be the time factor. I can wash one of my cars in 1 - 2 hours depending on how I'm feeling. A customer car is generally at the point where it is taking me about 3 - 4 hours. You need to factor that into your pricing.

At this point I'm not sure how much profit I actually make from it, if nothing else it is funding my addiction for detailing products.
