detailing business? Give me a break. This isn't the recipe for Coca Cola guys. It's car
maintenance and that's it. Car maintenance 1800 miles from the guys fricking garage.
As far as the gangsta comments. I take serious offense to this. I grew up in a large Sicilian household and it took a number of years to help my families reputation get back to civilized. Sheesh a few cousins and uncles fit people with cement boots and you'd think the world was gonna end.
So tread lightly car detailer. That hurt my feelings deeply.
Come to think of it I do have a few members of the family down in your part. Possibly they should swing by and say hello.

What do you do and how much do you make
DJ only the detail guys have. PA asked a question about his sticker. He didn't ask about a paint correction. Dent removal. Bug tar removal blah blah blah. He asked if there was something to do about the sticker. One guy is a smartass and the other PM's him a book about it. If there is a product to squirt on and polish said sticker BOTH OF THESE GURU ANTI TRUST car retailers could have helped themselves out by posting about it. Instead they Rant that all of us will start our own car washes and put them out of business. Seriously does anyone think anyone reading or posting in this thread wants to start a car

But I guess we're not allowed to post here Mark. The detailing section of Teamspeed is off limits to anyone but detailers as far as I can tell. Maybe this goes back to when the detailers were blasting every single fvcking section of the forum with duplicate+ threads and the community got sick of it.
The only thing new that I can take away from this is to not ask any questions here. Clearly this is now the most useful section of the forum.

Wow - who knew such an innocent question would've created so much nonsense...

I was simply referring to the some of the comments that had to be removed as they were censored curse words etc, basically that's all...
The only thing off limits in this section is a non supporting detailer peddling his products or business, everything else is fair game. I just would remind you that this is not Off Topic which is a private section of the site.
Anyway "shine" on...

Most professions have their stigma's and preconceptions. You don't need to be licensed or accredited to be a detailer, so anyone can call themselves one. It would be safe to say as a whole that most who call them selves detailers really are car washers who are so far removed from the high end detailer that calling them 'detailer's is like calling the guys who drive around with 'tools they have for the day to do body work", "professional body repair shop"
There are clearly levels of craftsmanship in this business and to be great at it requires dedication, hard work and a level of detail (pun un intended) that has to border on OCD and mania. In short, to be great at it, you probably are a little nuts.
When you add the fact that many don't appreciate that level of work and think their son can do it as well for slave labor.., well that might be a bit irritating...as much so as comparing a top notch lawyer with ....oh, you guys get the point.
This thread has been beaten to death...Personally I would have preferred more of a community spirit from the pro detailers here and I also would prefer more maturity from our members and less of a pile on mentality.
Thread closed.
