How many people charge more for applying high end waxes such as Concorso, Mystery, Vintage, Divine, etc.? If so, how much?

Without a doubt you need to add charges for those waxes. It would be up to detailer on how much of a mark up he or she wanted to do. I personally would make sure i made a bit more than that tub of wax cost me.

Obviously the answer to that question is a big yes, but as to the price it all various per country/state your in. I mean perhaps here in Calgary we can charge x amount over in the UK they charge xx amount and certain areas in the US you can charge xxx amount hard to narrow down on a price.

Only thing I suggest is see how the current market is around your area and the economic state your area is in as well..but that's just my opinion.

If i used a high end wax, i'd charge a little extra.

I love DG products but 104 is bad. Its like they had to come out with a paste to satisfy some customers. I opened a jar of it at a parts house one day. I was like-this is a paste??? Just myu 2 cents though.

It seems like DG messed up on the "paste" part, well calling it a "paste". It is indeed a liquid..

I'd charge more for it if I could. But fact is that I have the wax, but I don't have the customers that know the difference between Collnite 845 and Swissvax Mystery. How do you tell the customer to pay more for a wax that they wouldn't be able to tell the difference?

I think the only way I could charge more for it is on higher end cars that would take more time and justify it that way. Just my $.02

I charge more for Swissvax.

My standard detail includes Zaino Z-5pro topped with Souveran. Now I am offering an upgrade to Swissvax, which 2 customers have asked for already.

$650. for standard Z-5pro / Souveran.
$700. for Swissvax Concorso.

People love it.
