    How NOT to make money detailing

    Browsing through my local Craigslist auto services and came across this...
    Hopefully the screenshot comes out clear... 20 bucks for an interior/exterior. Wow

    Yeah I don't care what supplies that guy is using there is no profit to be made there. I do see these listings all the time though.

    Yes no profit whatsoever. And I as well come across listings like this alot. Usually 60 for full details..this one marks the lowest.

    I can understand starting off with lower than average prices in order to attract customers if you're just starting but no need to go drastically low and work your butt off for nothing

    Craigslist always amazes me. I just found one for 25 including full interior/exterior wash, compounding, polishing and wax.

    +5.00 is you bring in an SUV

    In a different one I found this little gem of a red flag " I'm looking to trade my services For Electronics, Gold, Laptops, $$,tattoos or anything valuable what do you have ???"

    and yes I found it under auto detailing

    The best part is his last line....you gotta wash the vehicle yourself!!

    So I'm paying him $60 to wipe on some wax and spray Fantastic around the cabin? That's, well......Fantastic.
