Detailing Pricing Help

[Beamer]

Going to start doing detailing on the side and today is actually my first real customer. She owns an Olds Aurora v8.

Anyway, was wondering what prices to charge for the services and thought maybe others opinions could help.

How much is a good price for the following:

1.Vacuum
2.Shampoo
3.Vinyl, Leather and other interior pieces cleaning
4.Washing the car
5.Waxing the Car
6.Cleaning Rims and wheel-wells
7.Tire shine
8.Cleaning Windows

Other costs
- Labor($30) and hourly rate(1 hour=$5)

This is what I was thinking:
1. $15
2. $20
3. $10 to $20 depending on interior
4. $10
5. $15 to $25 depending on size of vehicle
6. $8
7. $10
8. $5
= $83+Labor($30)+HR($15)= $128 Total

Anyone think that is decent for a detailing job that took about 3 hours? I do not want to rip people off. I know alot of places that do it as their primary job can range from 150 to almost $300. I want to be under most prices or right in the middle depending on the vehicle and how much work/time it took.

When I detail a car (its my job) it takes about 5 hours. That includes cleaning the engine, wheels, door jams (including trunk and gas). After that, I clay bar the car, buff it, hand glaze it (if it is dark), wax it. After that, I take some allpurpose degreaser and a brush and hit the inside including panels and carpet. Vac out the excess cleaner from the vents/cracks and wipe them off. For carpets........spray the degreaser and scrub. Then i armor all it.......clean the windows inside and out........final vac it......then take the wax off. Of course it is more detailed than that. I'm just giving you an idea of what I do. We charge 189.95. If I were doing it on the side doing like what i said above, i would charge 100.

Got $125 out of it. She was very pleased and so was I, I thought it was not going to come out as awesome as it did but the car looked almost brand spankin' new. Makes me want an Aurora v8 even more now, god I love the interior set up.
