and for those who think im just some kid tryin to make an extra buck, i took four years of Auto Body and Detailing classes, so i know what im doing!
Yes, but now maybe you need some business classes/sense because at what you charge you'll never pay overhead for a shop, maintenance on equipment and purchase of supplies, salaries for employes, feed your future family and save for eventual retirement. All you are making at present is a little (or a lot) spending cash... here today... gone tomorrow.

You may know what your doing with car detailing, but there are details of business that I think you're missing big time.
