Boats?

Boats can be tough to buff out and wax. WE charge beween $15 to $20 per foot for boats and RVs for detailing.
 
That is for an exterior buffing? What if you were to just do the carpet and clean the seats up good along with the windows? The work that we have been offered is for boats/pontoons that are already in the water and just need a good thorough cleaning.
 
My boat ideas

I get $10 per linear foot inside, $10 for outside and for both it's $15 per linear foot.

Boats can be tough. I use oxalic acid on the hulls to remove river stains. many times the finish is faded beyond repair so I do not buff boat hulls anymore. I only wash/wax. Had too many instances of doing way too much work only to watch the finish fade back out immediately.
 
I was thinking about doing $8 per linear foot for this set of boats that they want me to do. They aren't destroyed by any stretch, just need a little tlc. I will have to go out and do a few to see how much time it will take on average. Thanks!
 
Why not do quotes based on each job? Use the same method used to estimate a detail - how long will it take and what is the cost of materials.
