Dude, have you any idea how long it would take to do a full detail and paint correction?
£50 is what I would charge for a private valet alone and that was for friends. Paint correction will take as long again. I would say £100 is nearer the right price, you`ll work yourself into the ground and £50 is`nt worth it

If you feel that's an appropriate price then all for you mate.

I also reckon that's incredibly low, I charge £100 minimum (I don't advertise though).

To be honest low prices work the opposite also. For if I didn't do it myself I wouldn't go with a £50 job as I wouldn't feel the job would be done to a good standard. That's just me though!

£50 is extremely cheap to be fair. I payed £160 recently and they guy was working on my car for 9 hours straight.

Great Job and I thought £160 was a fair price considering that was for everything including travelling to my work.

That included wash, clay, paint correction, swirl removal, polish, wax, wheel dressing and full interior Vallet including leather treatment.

I think you should be charging atleast £100 + Travelling fee's (as mentioned above)
