Been detailing for a long time (20+ years) - professionally for about 4 years. I'm so tired of car washers calling themselves detailers- note: there is nothing wrong with being a car washer. But if that's all you do then don't call yourself a detailer!!
Case in point- I got called for an interview for a "detail" company out of Orlando that happens to have a shop in Jacksonville. I responded to their ad and sent my business page. They said they were impressed with my work and wanted to bring me on board - he went on to talk about my duties; wash, wax, trim dress, windows and vacuum. I asked about interior stain removal, claybar, polishing etc.... no, just a basic wash, hand wax, application of trim dress, windows and vac..... bro- I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that is NOT detailing!! Stop telling people you're a detailer because your effing it up for people who actually DETAIL!!
Rant over!! lol
* - oh yeah, almost forgot. Why on earth would you hand wax if you have a machine that can do the job faster and better? WTH? Detailer? Yeah right!
