Power Washing Heavy Equipment
I'm new to this forum and was researching any known rates that exist for washing heavy equipment. I have broken down my hourly rate but would like to charge per piece. I'm starting this business fresh so I don't know the hours it will take to do each piece. Does anybody have suggestions on:
Scrapers, dozers, backhoes, trackhoes, blades (roadgraders), rollers, and compactors.
I feel that I have a pretty good idea but wanted to double check.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Asking for "pricing" or "what do I do" here on this site, especially as a newbie, will garner you flack, shiiiit and sarcasm.
Why????
If you are in "the Trade", you should already know!

Maybe a newbie, but not an idiot. I feel that I will exercise every avenue that I can find to make sure that I am charging market price for what I will do. I don't want to overprice a client but also don't want to leave too much money on the table. Thanks for the help.

good way to start is charge them what you are thinking, Like an hourly price for one job then go from there. Or just take a bit of a guess on a little project iff you make good money keep that pricing going, add 10 percent until people start saying no.
