Personally I think you're trying to put the cart in front of the horse. you say 2 years of experince already yet you seem to lack even the most basic of skills based on all the question's you've posted on here recently. If you really want to make a go at this you need to learn the proper ways. The only way to do that is by actually doing it. Reading on here does not make you an expert in any way shape or form. Find a true Master detailer and apprentice with them for at least 5 years minimum before thinking you can venture out on your own on the level that you want. And that's a HUGE vairable on price . $30-$80K??? That's not even in the same tax bracket. Good luck getting even half that with only the high school diploma. Continue with the education. You never know when the bottom will fall right out of this feild. The more you know the better you are in anything in life. Never stop educating yourself. Wether its college or just classes or a trade school or apprenticeship. You should always be striving to learn something new every day your on the job.

There's just no subsititute for a good foundation. Can't take short cuts and expect to achieve it all. In this feild or any other. You have to put the time in to learn everything you can. 2 years in Detailing is just about good enough to call you a run of the mill wash boy at best. You really need to put the time in... And serious time at that.
