Stop buying leads. Start taking jobs.

You already know how to detail a car, and you know what your work is worth. You price our three packages; WAXD handles the ads, the quoting, the phone tag and the no-shows. You get a booked job with an address, a time, and your own price already agreed to.

Your ratesYou set your own prices. We never mark them up or discount them without asking you.
$0To join, $0 per lead, $0 monthly — we only earn when you actually get booked.
1Detailer per job. We don't sell the same customer to five of you.
Why this is different

Lead sites sell you a phone number. We hand you a scheduled job.

If you've paid for leads before, you know how it goes: forty dollars for a contact that six other detailers also bought, who wanted a quote and never called back. That's not what this is.

Buying leads

Angi, Thumbtack, directory sites
  • You pay whether or not the job happens
  • The same lead goes to several detailers at once
  • You undercut each other in a live bidding war
  • You still have to quote, chase, and schedule
  • Monthly fees whether you work or not

Detailing for WAXD

You only pay out of jobs that actually happen
  • Nothing out of pocket, ever — no lead fees, no subscription
  • One job, one detailer. No bidding against anyone
  • Your rate is the price. Agreed before you're offered the job
  • Customer already paid a deposit, so they show up
  • Accept or decline each job. No quotas, no exclusivity
How you get paid

You set the price. The customer pays you directly.

You tell us what you charge. Our cut comes off the front as the deposit the customer pays to book. The rest of your price never passes through us — it goes from their hand to yours when the work is finished.

01

You set your rates

Give us your price for each of the three packages. Change it whenever you like — no approval needed.

02

We match you

When someone books inside your radius we weigh your rate against your rating and availability. Win it and you get the address, time window, vehicle, and package. Accept or pass, no penalty.

03

You detail the car

Your equipment, your process, your standards. We don't tell you how to work.

04

You collect the balance

The rest of your price, paid to you on-site by card, cash, or your own payment app. Same day, every time.

How jobs get awarded
We weigh Your rate, your rating, and whether you’re actually free for that date, vehicle size, arrival window and on-site water and power.
You win When you’re the best value — not simply the cheapest. A strong rating lets you hold a higher price and still get the job.

Price alone doesn’t decide it, so there’s no incentive to undercut yourself. Build a track record and you can charge more, not less.

Where the money goes
Up front The customer pays a booking deposit against the rate you set. That deposit is WAXD's cut — it covers advertising, the booking system, and screening. It never comes out of your pocket.
On the day You collect the remaining balance of your own price directly from the customer once they're happy with the work. Card, cash, or your own payment app — whatever you already use.
Never We never hold, route, or delay your money. There's no payout cycle to wait on and no invoicing to chase.

We'll walk you through exactly what our cut is on the onboarding call. No chargeback risk on the balance either — it's a normal transaction between you and the customer.

What we require

Four things, and they’re the same four for everyone.

Customers are letting a stranger work on a $30,000 vehicle at their home, and we tell them we’ve checked you. Clearing these is what lets you hold your price instead of racing to the bottom.

01

Background check

Run through a screening provider before your first job. You’ll get a secure link directly from them — never send us personal identifiers by email or through this form.

02

Proof of work

Photos of five recent jobs. If you’re quoting Luxury, include before-and-afters under proper lighting so we can see actual defect removal.

03

Water and power you can account for

Tell us what you can bring — a water tank, your own power, both, or neither. Bringing both means you can take every job. If you can’t, that’s fine: we simply only send you jobs where the customer has the rest on site.

04

Work you’re happy to be judged on

Customers rate every job, and those ratings decide who gets shown next time. Consistently poor feedback means we stop sending you bookings.

Questions

What detailers ask before applying.

Do I have to work exclusively with WAXD?

No. Keep your own customers, your own pricing, your own brand. Most detailers use WAXD to fill gaps in the schedule, not to replace their book.

Can I decline jobs?

Yes, any job, for any reason. There's no minimum and no penalty. We just re-offer it to the next detailer who covers that address.

Who sets the price?

You do. You give us a rate for each of the three packages — Basic, Premium and Luxury — and that's what the customer is quoted, plus a set uplift for larger vehicles. You can change your rates whenever you want, and we never discount them without asking you first.

What does WAXD take?

A percentage of the job, collected up front as the customer's booking deposit — so it's taken before you ever touch the job and never comes out of your pocket. You collect the rest of your rate directly from the customer on the day. We'll go through the exact number on the onboarding call. Unlike lead sites, you pay nothing at all on jobs that don't happen.

What if the car is worse than described?

Call it in before you start. If it needs work beyond the booked package — heavy pet hair, mold, biohazard — we re-quote with the customer on the spot, and you can walk if they decline.

What if the customer doesn't pay the balance?

Report it same day. We cover the balance up to the job's quoted amount and handle the customer ourselves. You don't chase anyone.

Am I an employee?

No. You're an independent contractor. You control your schedule, your equipment, your methods, and you're free to work for anyone else.
