I already thought about ideas to educate customers with a basic info pamphlet at the end of a detail. Possibly offer a small cleaning package for daily maintenance with or after the detail. This...
A good suggestion that some places will let you do, is ask if you can set up a little holder w/ biz cards/fliers/pamphlets at counters to places that have car specific customers.
Ah, yeah... seems it would just make more sense to do it that way and have a fee for extra dirty vehicles. I've already got a full price list lined up for when I get started, always have been curious...

1). For advertising, if you have a surplus cash flow left from your old job, yes... hire a cheap advertising agency for your first couple months.
2). Use a groupon based...
What other places besides 3M offer training certification for this? $2000 minimum is kind of... absurd IMO. I do understand it's a certification, and it's a nice thing to have... but it's not that...
