If you really are serious, try creating a photographic walkthrough of the work you perform on a detail, and post it here in the "Click and Brag" section. Take photos of the entire process, not just the end result. Make sure to capture the condition of the paint.

If you are successful in creating a few of these and are able to sell your work, you will have no trouble finding people who would like your services. About 75% of this business is selling yourself.

This site is a very small fraction of the total market and, in general, a customer will get in touch with you. There may not be any requests for a detailer in Roanoke but you will create your own market by doing as I said.

This may be telling you something about the market you are in. What I mean is Roanoke, and south western VA in general may not have as many people who truly value quality detailing. I imagine there is also an income gap between here (NOVA) and south west Virginia.

I think you are 100% correct.
