Heavy soil, pet hair, smoke and stains are priced as add-ons, because they take extra time and can ruin your margin on a flat package. Paint correction and ceramic coatings are priced by the panel or the vehicle and are usually billed with a deposit when the job needs more than a day. Mobile detailers also charge a travel fee or set a service radius, because driving time is time you do not spend detailing. Offering maintenance washes every month or two keeps the finish good and your calendar full, and a [payment link](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/online-payments) makes it quick for the customer to pay when you finish. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. Photograph the vehicle's condition before you start, including scratches and stains. It protects you from a "that was not there before" claim. 2. Price by vehicle size, not by guess. Sedan, SUV and truck rates make quotes quick and fair. 3. Put heavy soil and pet hair on their own lines. Customers understand a cleaner who explains the extra work. 4. Include care instructions for coating and wax in the invoice notes. It cuts down on complaints and sells a maintenance plan. 5. Send the invoice while the car is still shining at the curb. That is when the customer is happiest. ## Common invoice mistakes - Quoting a flat package on a vehicle that turns out to be full of pet hair - Not charging for travel on jobs outside your radius - Skipping the before photos ## Questions ### How do I price a mobile car detail? Use fixed packages with a price per vehicle size, then add lines for heavy soil, pet hair, odor treatment, paint decontamination and a travel fee. ### What should a car detailing invoice include? Your details, the customer, the vehicle, the package and each add-on, the travel fee if any, care instructions and the total due. ### Can I take a deposit for ceramic coating? Yes. Coatings take materials and often more than a day, so a deposit is normal. Show it on the invoice and the balance due on completion. ### Is this car detailing invoice template free? Yes.
