Default Washing and Detailing Question

Today, I applied for a job as a washer and detailer at a local car dealership. Anyone have any experience in this field? I just wanted to know what to expect. Is it really hard? Hopefully I can get this position because I really like being around cars and especially cleaning the nice ones! Any input would be great!

It has new and used cars. On the lot there is a new z28 with ss hood, a newer mustang gt, a new SSR, and in the showroom an 04 vette. Pretty good huh?

detailing at a dealer is a lot different than doing it on your own. Be prepared to do half *** work for half *** pay. All you really need to do is wash, & wax ,seal if necessary w/probaby automagic products which are good but not very durable. So if it shines then you did your job, ?ing if is last is not your department.
