Should I leave software development and learn how to do car detailing? It looks like it's an extremely cheap business to run, there's always going to be customers and it must be immensely satisfying to do since you don't interact with anyone.

I shouldn't reply to idiot threads, but:

> leave a field with at least minimal barriers to entry to do something with zero barriers to entry
> be weird old guy competing with neighbor's 15 year old son who details cars in the rich neighborhood
> scrape tampons off of back seats

> become a "real business" somehow and build a customer base of high end cars
> face the dilemma that every other manual labor business faces - either your employees are unreliable alcoholics or they leave to start their own thing, because why pay you

The one benefit here is that you can do it on the side in the evenings and/or weekends. I also hear girls get wet when they say "I am a cleaner" and don't remember that used cars dealerships pay literally $8-12/hr to drug addicts for the work.

If you want to expand and make better money you’ll eventually hit a massive barrier. The tools required to properly detail a car instead of just vacuuming it will kneecap you. Garage with lifts, impact driver and torque wrench, power tools for waxing and polishing, leather treatment, mold management (you’ll need an O2 generator) and time (remove seats, deep clean carpets, extractor vacuum, special treatment for headliner so you dont melt the glue - it’s gonna eventually happen if you get big enough

Nah, it's not a standalone job for 90% of detailers.
Those guys all have day jobs.
It's also a shitty job outside exotic detailing.

automotive cleaning products and tools are expensive, detailing takes a long time for not much pay, and it is not satisfying you are basically just a car maid for boomers but you dont even get to take the SGC (Small Geriatric Cock) in a skimpy black and white outfit that is definitely not french
