The quote 10hr minimum doesn't provide any assurance of what the total would be. The service provider many be really thorough and could spend 25hrs=6k. Also you as a customer may want a really detailed job which will add hours. You may consider a time limit or ask the company what is the average hrs per car.

Good to Know ! , This is the guy I inquired about doing my car . I guess i was thinking , assuming 10hrs = $2400 would be in the ballpark to do mine , maybe not ?

Wow, guess I lucked out last year when I had a 73 super duty ice blasted. There is a new car dealership in the Buffalo area which has been buying and selling classic cars. I heard they had this equipment so I enquired. Car had heavy undercoating, I doubted the effectiveness and was worried the time would really make it costly. When I checked in a couple days later (they had to wait a day to get more ice), I was pleasantly surprised. Charged me 1500, that’s the labor and ice.

A friend of mine also looked into starting a business providing these services and was recently quoted 20k to get the equipment.
