The rag that you are using to clean the windows looks cheap, and as an Autopian I am turned off by that. You should also include in your Exterior Detail swirl mark removal.

so should i scratch that and start all over again.....i thought it looked pretty professional......better then i seen white paperish small logo and a name.....
so should i start all over guys?
and what do you think about having before and afters on the back? where my contact info is.......
Not to be mean but some white "paperish business cards" can look professional as well. Just because there is a lot of color or writing doesn't make it more professional, just more busy. Print out your card and just take a look at it and see what you think..put it next to a couple other business cards you may have and see what you think. Ultimately it is your decision so if you like the look of your card, then I would say go for it !
Sometimes keeping it simple is better, as for the afters on the back of the card..I would only do it if you are having high quality prints made. If it isnt going to show swirls being removed or anything like that I would just keep them off otherwise it is basically going to show people you know how to wash a car. If you are serious about showing them what you are capable of, build a portfolio where you can show them pictures of your work labeled by which detail package was completed.
I'm going to monkey around in Macromedia Fireworks and show you a variation of something you could use. I'll post a pic when I get done.

Okay, thanks for understanding. Im only trying to help as I was in this same position about a year ago. I know its hard to decide what design to go with. I think your plans are a good start and you will be happy with the changes you make. No one gets it perfect on the first shot, but you are on the right track! Keep at it!!
Here is something I threw together in 10 minutes. Obviously it's not perfect but it lets you see how something simple can still be effective.

thank you for responding......hey is that statement taken i think i want to use it....its very creative....and thank you for showing me a nice design i like it......so then the back would esxplain some services right?
again i likie your feedback
Hey, you're welcome! I don't believe that statement is taken, I just thought of it while creating the card but you might want to do a google check just to make sure.
Yep! The back could explain services or pricing....Whatever you would like!
Not sure for the quote if it should be"
"Stand out from the crowd" or
"Stand out in the crowd"

i agree the first draft this thread was posted for wasn't good. too much going on, also looked like it was drawn up on colecovision, not the tone you want to set.

Just one problem..... people will look at the name and automatically think that they're gonna get anything you give at half the price, although its ok at the beginning, it will suck when you've gaine valuable experience. Another reason is, that it might lead to 'prejudice' just because you're younger....

Just my opinion, I would have a hard time taking anyone seriously with a name like mobile detail kid. I think you might lose some customers from the start just from customer's assumptions about you. They don't have to know you're 17.
