Do more research. You'll be better for it in the long run as opposed to us spoon-feeding you and you still not really knowing. Then try things on your own. First thing is to find out how 'involved' you want this to get. Is it weekends only? A lot of people want details the day they call. What...

Way to persevere bro. Now go make some money!

I know right? hahaha...the wifey just gave me the side-stink eye...hahaha Im the MAN

We've all been where you are. Try to learn as much as you can and get your techniques down. Good luck.

Folex has had mixed results for me. Worked great,...then not so much. I like Zep high Traffic, and Grand Slam by Matrix which is a legitimate carpet cleaner. Followed by steam and extraction. Takes time but is extremely effective.

Use the name of the street you lived on as a kid, then the name of your first pet,..wait, that's for something else...lol. At the very least, include 'auto detailing' for obvious reasons. I had 'mobile auto spa' in my original name and people would call for massages, no joke. Use your name.

Had a friend who worked there,...which got me an interview with the HR head,...which got me some details there. I discount my prices and scale down the packages, i.e. no paint correction on-site, and try to educate potential clients on detailing vs. tunnel wash at the local gas station. That's...

Beautiful car. You did a great job. Impressive.

I admire your 'go-gettedness' if that makes sense. Couple questions: 1. Why are you powerless? (Don't want to use client's power?) 2. Why is the heat interfering with getting the windows clean? IMHO, you have got to shampoo interiors, etc. Try to learn by watching youtube videos and...

Great job. That fender looked rough. Way to turn it around. Nice car.

Milk crates. I put 3 APC sprayers, 3 interior cleaners, a gallon of APC, a sprayer of ONR and a sprayer of carpet cleaner. I have a huge black heavy duty plastic container that holds probably 90% of my supplies. Towels go in a plastic 3 door bin. Polishes waxes and compounds go in a smaller...

brondondolon is absolutely correct. As for your other questions,... Have you thought of going mobile? Convenience for your clients, is your $40 competition mobile? You can become the "detail expert" in your area by doing a great job and becoming as knowledgeable as possible.

That is amazing! I wasn't sure if that was the same boat at first. Wow. That picture will earn you sooooo much money if you decide to use it in your advertising. Great job.

So what happens when you get tired of performing 'light work' details and want to raise your prices and some new detailer comes along and undercuts you? You're going to do this part-time, but what happens when you get too many clients to do it part-time at a cheap rate? So you're busting your...

I degrease door jambs, agitate and then steam if really bad. As for cleaning the entire vehicle with steam, no thanks. That would take me too long. I use ONR in a 2 gal. bug sprayer.

I tell potential clients on the initial meeting/phone conversation that actual price depends on size AND condition of their vehicle. Then I give an example of how I've found dirty diapers, excessive pet hair, vomit, etc. to condition them that this means it'll cost them more $$$$. I also say...

Great job! I'd like to see more interior details. They offer their own set of challenges. You did work on the back seats.

wow, what a massive response. I thought for sure more folks would chime in. Apparently not. Props to Subie and Mark. My feelings are the same as both of you. I'll never advertise with them. Ever. I had a friend with a business, (not detailing), and they basically said to him. 'If you...

My reply was to Aero Cleanse, not you.

That's bad ass!!!
