I cut and pasted this from a craig's list advertisement in the MD area. I didn't want to include the company's name or logo because I'm definitely not a fan:

$7-8 bucks an hour for an experienced detailer that needs to be ready on a moments notice and willing to sweat bullets or freeze? These guys can choke on it.
 
Agree ....



Add uses the terms "motivated", "experienced" and "career" ... and then follows with $7 an hour. This employer should understand quality people will not work for this amount, and the kind of people he will get for $7 an hour are the face of his company.
 
If I hired someone and provided all equipment and chemicals I'd at least pay in the $18/hour range. Detailing experience is hard to come by. Even the local auto wash place with their detail bay pays $12 an hour.

Must be nice to have all the money in the world then LOL. If I gave my guys $18/hr I'd be out of business in a months time. Even if they came in with everything of their own there's no possible way to make a profit paying someone that kind of money. (unless you're just charging $500 a detail.. $7-$8 is stupid... I think the federal minimum wage is more than $7 now isn't it? I don't see a problem with the $10-$12 range for someone with good experience. if they want the $30-$60/hr the "pro's" charge then they need to be doing as their own business and not as an employee. I've had a few guys do that already. They worked for me for awhile I taught them the things they were lacking in and helped them venture out on their own. (into different market areas of course LOL)
 
7 dollars isnt even the minimum wage in california



most highschool jobs in this area pay way above 8 (which is the cali minimum wage)
