Your best bet is go to an a stablished detailor who would appreciate your hard work and pay you accordingly. The prices for the vehicles you mentioned can not really account for much more. My dad has dealt with used cars for over forty years and in the same price/profits as mentioned without any paint correction

Open your own business which you mentioned is a soon possibility

Or
You need to as try and prove the. Return on investment to your current boss. If he doesn't want to look at photos then this is probably a waste of your time.
You could start raise

You can try negotiating using his garage to do clients cars after hours instead of a raise. This would help the jump into entrepreneurship. Best of luck

Flash, this is one time I actually agree with you.

Brad, you took the job for $10 an hour. You are being paid an average wage for your area. You should get another job or start your own business if this wage is not good enought for your skills.

Man up and ask for the raise. You haven't even mentioned what you are asking for. Is it $11 an hour or $ 25 an hour?

Re: Average hourly wages.

Brad, if your boss isn't realizing the kind of results your are getting you should either try to explain to him the difference or walk away.

Also, if you have mastered the buffing wheel as you call it, why not post some pictures of the work you do.

Re: Average hourly wages.

A few hours ago I had a nice, legitimate, positive, substantive, response typed out but then I got interrupted and didn't post it... Then I come back to this.

All I can say is: wow. Just wow.

It doesnt matter what you call it so what I call it a buffing wheel that's what most people call it. All that matters is if you know how to use it. This forum is getting annoying real quick starting to just not post any more
