Every Level of a Car Detailer's Career

From $25 driveway washes to $50,000 full restorations, this is every level of car detailing in America. Follow a detailer from a 16-year-old washing a Civic with a kinked garden hose to the AMMO NYC tier where Larry Kosilla can spend 138 hours on a McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail. The ladder runs through Mister Car Wash at $14/HR, a CarMax recon bay at $23/HR, mobile details around $150-$300, ceramic studios quoting $1,500 to $3,500 corrections, and credential gates like IDA, Gtechniq Accredited, Modesta, Ceramic Pro Elite, CQuartz Finest Reserve, and XPEL PPF. Real public numbers, real tools, real shops, and the same core work under very different conditions.
