I detail cars! let me tell you I’ve cleaned some NASTY DIRTY CRUSTY cars in my time doing this and I’d say that’s probably the worst part. I’m pretty good at dealing with gross dirty things as long as they don’t smell haha that’s really the only time I get a little queasy. It can be quite satisfying after seeing the finished product and i pride myself on basically being able to turn water into wine lol. The pay is alright, it varies between dealership/detail shop. The way i get paid is basically commission (called flat-rate) and the amount of hours you get is based on what job you have to do on a car. full detail pays me 3.5 hours regardless on how long i take on the car that being said there’s pros and cons. If it takes me less than 3 hours to clean a car i still get paid for 3.5 hours regardless but if i take longer then that I’m losing money/time. That’s nice because you have the opportunity to make a lot of money but to do that it takes a little butt busting ya know? Being paid hourly you get paid for just being there but with the way i get paid i actually have to work if i wanna make some money. I guess another con would be burnout but i think that’s just more of a me thing. I would definitely recommend this job for young adults as it’s entry level and if you truly enjoy it you’re able to make a career out of it, although i don’t think i want to detail cars for the rest of my life but i would definitely recommend for a younger person trying to explore different career paths. Feel free to PM me if you wanna hear about some of the gross stuff I’ve found in cars, I’d rather not share here in fear that I’ll get smited by the chicken smoothie gods. Thanks for reading y’all and i hope everyone has a wonderful day :>
