I'd say that you should estimate how many hours it'll take you to clean it, multiply it by whatever you want to earn per hour and then add 10% to make up for any errors in estimation.

Hi

Also phone a couple of other garages in the area and ask their Dealer Principle or accounts dept what their business is currently paying for their cleaning to give you an idea.

Expect to waste time as they move cars out of your way etc. Also make sure that insurance is up to date. A WPF pole is an invitation to damage so take precautions.

I haven't gone near any commercial mainly beacuse i don't want to jump in with a cheaper price than exists already. I'm a firm believer that our prices should increase over time instead of decrease and i don't want to buck the trend.

Dave, do you work out commercial prices by the area of the glass?
And is 40pence  a m2 a good guide?
cheers
