In short - you have to tailor your advertising to the client.
A $50 wash for a regular car and a $50 wash for the Porsche is not the same thing and won't be thought of the same by each owner.
If Porsche, then go to all the Porsche websites and offer your services - and - take really good pictures of before and after of any section of 'any' car, so they can see the difference. You don't need the entire car in 100 photos, but you definitely need before and after of the whole car and at least one full panel to really see the difference.
Advertising is expensive - or not - depends on how you do it. Also, its more expensive to not advertise - no clients cost you how much money?
Websites are free, buying space in a specific magazine, paper, trade, is not - but sometimes necessary.
A decent camera with closeup ability and correct lighting to highlight the defects is less expensive then not showing your capability and losing out on jobs. Saying you can do a better job than the local car wash with detailing on the side, is not the same as showing them the difference.
Many people think that $100 is too much for a detail. And you want $800. The "people" just can't comprehend the difference. The few who can will do so when you can show them the difference and the why of the cost. It takes 2 full days to get the result you want, Sir. Not 2 full hours. Here's why and what you will end up with.
The job needs tailored to the job and the client. If they want cheeep then go to the local car wash guys.

never stop learning , and challenge yourself,
here is another example of the advantage of having a space... i learn how to wrap and got this puppy done, color change. would i do this everyday? nope , but if projects comes down the road , the extra skill will be used , for a full hood, roof, or full color change.
this projects took me a lot of time but i make sure will last few years and next project will take half, still a lot of details....
i test the water with the new material and prep for the rest of the car
some hardware needs to be removed for a stealth install
ready for delivery...
and ....is gone!

I had the pleasure of speaking with a Cosmin over the phone a few days ago particularly about this thread.
I picked his brain and he is a super cool guy. Very straight forward!
Cosmin has come a very long way and continues to grow his business like crazy.
Great work man!
