Starting out

I'm 17 years old and like to do detail jobs on the side of work (at target). I've got very few clients (mom, a couple neighbors I've done a few times, classmates). I'm looking more into becoming full time and quiting my job as a sales rep for target. How did you start out and where do you get your clients?

I also have a question of prices etc.

I currently charge:
$10 for a car wash
$20 for wash & wax
$30 for wash & wax, vac, tire dress up, plastic dress up, scratches removed
$100 for wash, paint cleaner, polish, wax, and all the other goodies (this takes me about 4 hours)
$120 for everyting above + clay bar (about 5 hours)

I am ordering a swirl remover product and will be fitting this in there some how, probably added to the $120 job. What do you think of my prices? Fair/too cheap/too expensive? I live in souther california.

Thanks
