It takes us 15 to 18 hrs to do the job. I don't use cheap soap (about $50 for 5 gal), my guys hand brush EVERYTHING and I pay them $10 an hour. My expenses for the weekend are around $700 to $800, I bill them around $1700 to $1800.
My math must be off. Do you mean that you do 70 tractors and 70 fronts & backs of pups for $6.50 each? I'm coming up with $910.00. How are you billing them $1700-$1800? That's 260+ pieces you'd have to be doing....
