According to the CIU charge calculator  3ft +7ft+16 multiplied by the amount of air you can suck in on one breath
added to the amount of times you shake your head and tut = £500 to £700 depending on what car is on the driveway.
Seriously asking what to charge on here is only going to leave you more confused than you are now. lol

You missed out the bit as a sales pitch primer "It's not going to be cheap as we clean them properly. As they say you get what you pay for."  ;D ;D

You can't do the job until your certified. Better check with Solar Steve!
