Sell the package, price for the mess

Customers buy a package, not an hourly rate — so lead with clear tiers, then protect your time by scaling for vehicle size and charging for the extras that actually eat your afternoon: pet hair, stain extraction, engine bays. That is how a "quick detail" stops running long for free.

Questions

How much should I charge for mobile detailing?
A basic exterior wash and wax runs about $75–$120, an interior detail $100–$175, a full detail $180–$300, and premium/ceramic packages $350–$700+. Bump every price for larger vehicles and add for time-eaters like pet hair, stain extraction, and engine bays.
Should I price detailing by package or by hour?
Lead with clear packages — customers buy "full detail," not "three hours of labor." Price the package, scale it for vehicle size, and add for the extras. Sanity-check against your hours so a cheap package on a filthy SUV does not lose money.
How do I charge for vehicle size?
Use a multiplier: a sedan is your base price, an SUV or truck about 1.25×, and a van or 3-row about 1.5×. Bigger vehicles are more surface, more vacuuming, and more product — the multiplier keeps it fair and fast to quote.
