school bus detail

[adamh3]

So a local private school called me to have their bus detailed before a parade in september I told them I would go look at the bus and get back to them soon on an estimate. How much would you all charge for a school bus detail.



They want:



Wash

Wax

POSSIBLY a polish

Interior vacuum

Seats cleaned

Windows in/out

tire shine

Plastics/Vinyl dressed



I was thinking 300-500



School bus is white and not real dirty just fyi

A full size bus or a mini bus (20 - 24 seater)? Cloth seats or vinyl?



Would an AIO work for them?

full size bus, vinyl seats and an AIO im sure would work I don't have that in my line of cleaning products though.

I do a lot of Sprinter vans which are about a third of the size of a bus and it takes about 7 hours doing the process you described with an AIO. Figure 20 hours. How much do you need to bill per hour? $500 - $800 seems about right to me.

.....if they want that ish polished I really hope you ask for more than just $300... that's a LOT of surface area to polish, especially if it's just you that's going to take you probably 30-40 hours... not to mention product... You're going to run through a whole can or bottle of wax on that badboy!

Ya if they are wanting to go with the polish it will be the $500 price. I appreciate the help guys!
