        What's best is all a matter of perspective.....you could get a different answer from 10 different people. I would suggest reading many of the 100's of posts in the Detailing 101 forum. You'll probably learn all you need to know there. Proper washing technique being one of the most important......

                Go to work for the best detailer that will hirer you and then goto work for the crappiest one you can find.
                You'll learn years of experience on how to and not to run your business. Before I made the decision to have another detailing business I worked for the best detailer in my area for three years. And on occasion went to work with some hacks.
                When I understood what it was going to take run a successfully business I took it slow, and still am. This year will get my business up to a really high place with all the customers I'm getting and my reputation is growing alone with on line reviews.
                So my advise is get a mentor and take it slow. You have alot to learn and detailing is an art form.
