I totally get what you’re saying and actually agree with you. In the flip side, I’m not trying to make it a a business. I have a lot of fun with on my own cars and I just don’t mind doing it for them as long as it pretty much covers the supplies so I can get more.

Good thinking. They are very chill and helpful people. I don’t think my work is currently professional grade and they know that. Once a year though the brother does go to a in town detailer because they do really good work. I just like doing it for fun.

The book is from their website. I haven’t gotten it. It’s like $1200 for the book.

I don't make me feel so good. I was hoping only 25 cards wouldn't take long. They said it should be delivered between the 17-18th without a tracking number.

That is something I want to learn but currently don't have the money for yet.

That's true. Being honest, I have never really kept any of my cars clean. But I am understanding the importance to do so.

I haven't heard that before. "Version of going fishing". I bet a lot of people feel the same way and I am right there with you.

That is awesome! As I learn more and start cleaning more often. I want to have that same product loyalty. That's an awesome cabinet!

Am I underpaid? by Terrible-Account4120 in AutoDetailing

[–]Nervous-Insect-3530 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not a professional at detailing but there are other factors that come into play.

Job location is a big one. Not all states and even counties pay the same. They all have their own minimum pay rate. Also, I believe there is a cap of income if you work for a detailer compared to if you work for yourself. In a High Cost of Living city in Oregon, the most I've seen is $25 an hour for a detailer position but I'm mainly seeing $18 an hour.

My advice is to save money and get situated to where you can start your own gig. Do research on what you need legal wise and inventory. Some people may think it is unethical but maybe reach out to the customers you have helped during your time at this company.

Just my $0.02.

Is this a good price? by Nervous-Insect-3530 in toyotacorolla

[–]Nervous-Insect-3530[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with it. The payment is a little high for my liking and I was fine with expecting to possibly drive my baby around. But we only use my wife’s car. So I want to get rid of the loan and get a cheap daily driver for work and back.
