    I still consider myself new at this detailing the megs way aka the right way. I just take care of my families cars, and one of my daughter's friends car. As I try to hone my skills and take them to the next level.

    For now, just my own vehicles, but i'm thinking about doing some on the side (family, friends etc.)
    This spring I might just see what becomes of it.
    Never know until you try.

    Manage a detail shop full time for an independent auto dealership with 3 detailers under me. So about 3/4 of my time I'm detailing.

    Re: So, where do you stand when it comes to detailing?

    I have now grossed a whopping $70.00 total in weekend detailing. Started out as a hobby a couple of months ago, still is really, but I've detailed two cars for cold, hard cash. Yup.....$70.00. Only $600 and change before I come out even for what I've spent so far.
    Expensive hobby.

    Re: So, where do you stand when it comes to detailing?

    I am on the begging of my own business.I started as a mobile detailer and i hope that soon i will have my own shop.I am really new at detailing and i have a lot to learn.According to the "professional detailer" i know i thing that i know more than them.For example:i asked about 10 pro to tell my how i could remove the swirls from my black car and the answer was:IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.IT'S BLACK.Finally i removed them and i would like to help other people to get on the real world of detailing because most of them the know only 3 words about detailing.POLISH,COMPOUND and WAX.

    I really only do my cars.... occassionally I'll do a family members. It's just more motivating when you're doing your own car and know you get to cruise around in it after its all nice and purdified
