I would charge £60.00 for the initial clean then £30.00 for each subsequent clean based on monthly service

We do a few car show rooms and compared to a couple of them i would say around the £60-£90+vat mark for big pains like that. hard to visualise the measurements with out seeing it but thats around what we'd charge i think

Alright Rich.

I would properly charge First Clean in/out £70-£80, spend a bit of time on it to get the windows up to scratch.

Then once a month outside £20-£30, i dont think it would take you that long to clean.

Insides £30-£40

Hi SAJ , Long way off mate , you will recognise the property , its just been rented by the YMCA charity shop .
 Went down and quoted £60 first clean, £35 follow up , guy turned around and said the budget was £5 per shop , i laughed and told him he was havin a laugh , after all this is more of a YMCA superstore .
He saw my point and came to an amicable arrangement !
They were crud high and covered in tape inside , they came good in the end , plus it turned out to be a weekly job , so i am laughing really !

£25 just for the outside of that?!!!

Go for it!
Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes.
I'd happily do it for £15

Nice one. :D

Cheers guys , bit of a winner really isnt it , mind you the price does include the lobby bit aswell , 4m x 4m , but then £25 is a good price .
Got it looking really good today, took 3 hours to do , all i had was a 2 inch blade in the van , and the windows were real bad , all of them had to be scraped all over !
Reckon it will take me 30 mins tops each visit , i can live with that .

I'll give you a tip - 30inch squeegee and you'll do that quicker than ever, I have 3 showrooms like that to do and thats what I use - almost as quick as poling it but they want them left dry hence the reason I squeegee them.
