Southerndetail is selling his biz in this thread http://www.detailcity.org/forums/mar...moving-pa.html
you might want to contact him about working with him until he sells it or maybe you might want to purchase it after you learn the ins and outs

Dealerships are also a good starting point for detailing experience...or if there is a detail shop in your area they might be hiring...

Beemer is right. You can work at a dealership and learn exactly what NOT to do.

JP...its really hard for a new guy to make a break into this industry...not all dealerships are a bad...I think that`s common belief...But at least he can get some work in the detailing area and get started...plus making some money at it

You could also try looking at body shops.
Bonus on that is you could pick up on some wet sanding practice

The only way to get better is to practice.
If they are willing to give you a shot, practice there and move on to other places.

Good luck
