    Question for those who detail for $$$

    Good Question Bluzman, I don't do this for $$$ but have had the same thoughts. A picture says a thousand words. An example says more. Detail a car and then go park it at a local hangout, stripmall, etc. and put up a sign. I would target upscale areas if you can. With some exception...

    Hello, I'm the newest member. I have been into this for a while, but have always used stuff from Wal Mart or Auto Zone. I just got a new almost black Jeep Commander, and to my knowledge it hasn't been washed yet. I would not let the dealer clean it up. Well anyway, I want to start right...
