Thoughts on the detailer or on doing something like Living Social or Groupon? I am in advertising sales so could help with the later if thats what you are wanting thoughts on.

I wonder if there is any machine polishing done for $44 dollars. I kind of doubt it though.
$44 dollars is a very very good price for wash/clay/wax. I usually charge $60 or more for that kind of work.
Although now I'm doing a promotion of $100 that includes wash/clay (if necessary)/single stage polish/wax or sealant lol.

I have to admit when I saw this topic title, the first thought through my mind was 'A hack detail job?' There was a lot more in here than I expected.

$30,360.00 was/is what he sold. 690 details at $44.00. That's a years worth at 2 a day..........
Seriously, I wonder what the catch is..........Think he takes them down to the corner wash at $15.00, bring them back and squirts some spray wax and calls it done?
Thats $20k in profit!

hmmm, but it says that they will come to you to do the detail. So I'm assuming they will detail the car where they are told to come to??
