Alright, so let's have it out in this thread. What do you know about offering these services? You should point out:

What training is required
How much it costs
How difficult is it to learn?
What liabilities are there?
What is the market like?
How easy/difficult is it to sell?
Pros & Cons of each service

Here is what I know (and my knowledge is quite limited on these matters):

1) With PDR, people are very secretive about their techniques
2) The training for PDR is quite expensive
3) The market is saturated
4) It's easy (almost a cash grab) to offer this service along with a detail. An instant upsell if you will.

1) With window tinting, it's a very skilled trade like detailing
2) There are a lot of hack jobs
3) The market is not saturated with quality work

1) With clear bra, I don't know much other than I wish they would de-swirl the paint before applying it, but that's the detailer in me.
2) It's a very skilled trade as well (with plenty of hacks, as well)

So, let's hear your contributions everyone (particular lurkers who specialize in these trades).
