    Re: Starting Up Part Time Detailing

    If you're doing washing and waxing that will be about $50 on a sedan. People will hire you based on you prices. You'll most likely be cash or check, so just undercut whomever else is in your area.

    Re: 2007 lincoln navigator Cquartz UK

    Nice work!

    Just a tip: blur out plates. I use Fotor it's free and you can add shapes. I just use a colored rectangle and place it over the numbers/letters.

    Re: Can you review our prices?

    High jacking or not, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Personally, and I'm not being arrogant, but I wouldn't look at their car for $20. That's insulting to you and your business.
