    Pros and not Pros

    Just wondering how many people on here actually detail for a living?
    Who is a Pro and who is not a Pro?

    I am not a pro and do this for fun and extra $$ whenever possible.

    Re: Pros and not Pros

    Not a pro nor want to be.I`m blessed to be retired at a young age by today's standers.Now that I`m ill I could probably only get a job as a consultant in the food industry.No interest.Some of us Guys that donate our time in the autogeek garage do it for the love of the automobile what ever brand it is.(I prefer Chevys but not prejudice) When we are in the garage Mike as well as Robert direct us to which products and pads that are to be show cased that evening.(Product promotion) I`m so comfortable now after two years of training with Mike that I can wheel almost every machine in the garage.When you work side by side with some of the industry's best and their knowledge it`s easy.I have worked on many different paints just not cerama coat paint.(bad spelling but you get the idea)For us older guys that can transform some and not all defects in paint to the best it can offer.I love it.

    My business just started. Currently it's my secondary source of income but I project it will eventually be my primary source.

    I'm 16 and in high school. I detail as my main source of income, since I'm in high school most of this money just goes into my savings though.

    However, I DO NOT use EZ off oven cleaner

    I don't consider myself a professional because I don't have an "official" business with all the licensing and permits but I do accept donations for my efforts.....
