      @Ichabod_Jericho Рік тому +3

      @@jacob1121 depends on the cost of the chemicals and how long they needed the car! Everyone charges different but I’d charge $350-$500 for somethin like this. You gotta think working on the car for two days, 15-17 hours and on average these are $40/gallon chemicals. $350 would be bare minimum for $20/ hour but that’s just scraping by not much for real profit.
