I remember a couple of weeks ago some anon was posting about a detailing business he had, even posted some flyers he used
Are you there anon?
The thing is I know it's pretty lucrative, I just don't have any real experience with it
That was me. I still occasionally get calls about it, and tell the caller I'm not interested.
If only I could have poured my skills into someone in my area. The economist in me is very annoyed with the inefficency in my market.
Anyway, what do you want to know?

I wanna know how you got into it.
Did you work for a company as a detailer first? You must've had prior experience eh?
I've got a bit of money, enough to invest some and I was wondering if you could post those flyers again for ideas
I don't wanna get myself into something i can't back up, never detailed before

Well I was a car freak since I was 16. Always waxing and detailing my car. I liked Meguairs wax, I used microfiber cloths on the inside, and had a way to get different stains out of cloth and plastic surfaces.
Anyway, I was out of work, and a friend asked if I would detail his car. I said it takes me all day and I completely overhaul the inside and outside of the car. I asked him for $200 and he agreed.
So I got there at 9am and started to work. I think I finished around 4pm. Then he handed me $200 in cash. And a lightbulb went off. I was like oh snap, I could make about $50k a year cleaning cars (assuming I booked a car every single business day, and never took breaks).
> I've never detailed before
See this is an issue. You need to know how to properly clean the inside and outside of a car.
That will also effect the customer management process. Some things will come out, others will not. you need to be able to say that no-one else could get it out if you didn't get it out.
I could type out the whole process, but it would take some fucking time mate.
Where do you live?

I live in el Paso, texas
And yeah, it does seem like a lot of work and I'm worried I'd give it a try and just have a disappointed customer since there are so many professionals that do it
