Hi, have been asked by a customer for a quote to clean the exterior of commercial vehicles, cab and trailers, but dont have a clue what to charge, does anyone do that on here? what should I use in the way of cleaner ie: would you just use rtf? any advice would be really welcome, thnx John

Might not be much help, but when I used to drive HGV's we ran them through truck washes it used to cost around £40.00 for tractor & trailer.

did a valet on a tractor unit last week full  inside and a wash on the out side took five hrs £150.00 plus one hours travel

Hello mate, i charge £10 for a unit(cab) and £10 for a trailer. That involves spraying with rtf, brushing and washing off, you will need a soft, long reach brush for the cab and a stiffer broom type brush for the trailer. I also use a 5hp honda pressure washer and you will need hoses long enough to reach the water supply. I wash all i can see of the vehicle including undercarriage, wheels and tyres, back of cab etc... How many units and trailers is it for?? I would be interested in the work if you decide you aren't??? I'm in the midlands, anywhere near??

Hi, thanks for the info. Its for 4 wagons just the outsidesides to clean. We have all the equipment IE: techcleans 13hp pressure washer and northerns telescopic wand. I was thinking about £30 for the lot but then someone told me thats far to cheap, I am trying to contact a few commercial vehicle cleaners to get a better idea.
