The Work In Queens
Queens is the largest and most spread-out borough we serve, with some of the highest household car ownership in the city. Detailers cover everything from Astoria and Long Island City to Forest Hills, Bayside, Flushing, and Jamaica — a mix of dense apartment districts and one- and two-family homes with driveways, which is ideal for on-site work.
Demand here runs the full range: full details and interior resets on family cars, exterior details and ceramic coatings on weekend cars, and fleet work for the borough's many small businesses. A detailer who knows the borough and can move efficiently between neighborhoods will stay busy.
For Detailers Who Already Own Their Equipment
- Proven hands-on experience detailing cars — you already know how to safely wash, decontaminate, polish, steam-clean, and protect a vehicle inside and out.
- You own your own professional detailing equipment: foam cannon and pressure setup, polisher, steam cleaner or extractor, vacuums, pads, and quality chemicals.
- A reliable vehicle to carry your equipment to job sites, and the ability to be fully self-contained (your own water and power) when a site requires it.
- A valid New York State driver's license and a clean driving record.
- Knowledge of paint-safe technique — proper wash method, swirl-free polishing, and safe ceramic/sealant application.
- Reliable, professional, and courteous with customers; you treat every car like it's your own.
- As a 1099 contractor: your own insurance and responsibility for your own taxes.
- Must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.
