Local "Detailer's" Craigslist Ad = Scary!

[Coach Steve]

Not sure where else to post this. Mods, feel free to move it as you deem appropriate.

This is the Craigslist ad of a local hack:
FULL AUTO DETAIL INSIDE AND OUT $39.00 call or text 602 366 5110

All that for $39.00! Unfortunately, the amount you'd have to pay to undo his "work" would cost triple that!
How many things did you find wrong/questionable in the ad?

If he'd extract an interior as pictured, I'd tell him to skip everything else and still pay $39.

Really embarrassing knowing the general public thinks this is what I compete with

One thing I will say for dude is congrats on being able to keep that bonnett on the polisher he is using. That was one thing I was never able to master

If you think thats bad check out los angles craiglist. I recently moved from there to northern nevada and it never even crossed my mind to get into the auto detailing business while living there. Reason being is the industry is so diluted with all walks of life giving the armor all special for $10. You just cant compete with them. I mean when every one is offering a full detail for $20 and you come in saying a full detail is going to be over $100 i imagine you would get a lot of laughs. Where im living now is a big city (Reno) and there are only 2 credible detailers out here. So you will be lucky to see any one advertising on craiglist. But yeah $39 wouldnt be enough to start my truck...

Detailers are like tattoos. Good ones ain't cheap, and cheap ones ain't good.

I love his wash sponge and spelling of armor-all. Says a lot.

How the hell do you make money charging 39 bucks for that

Why does it seem like none of the pictures are his. I don't know abou you guys buy I never wear a button up shirt to shampoo an interior and very rarely do other people take pictures of me and a sponge or applying dressing to a tire.
