washing cars is better

I've tried starting a couple businesses and it's a lot tougher to make money than working for someone in an established business. My brother in law worked hard at the graveyard shift in a grocery store and eventually moved up to higher pay and more flexibility.
PS: after a year both businesses were abandonned barely breaking even.

It has to do with how much you want to trade off stability for profitabiltiy. Given you're 16 and mind you im no old fart im only 19 i would say it is better for you to work at the grocery store. This is simply because you probably cannot market nor advertise and generate the necessary volume of cars to make it worthwhile to foresake the grocery store job. Unless, of course, you have killer margins and are generating 90% per car...

Well, I recommend a grocery store job because the work is steady, there is normally benefits (health, etc.), and the hours are regular. You never know when you could have a sour day car washing and the store pays you the same whether a lot of customers or not. BUt its your decision and the best of luck to you! MayMay

Depending on your area, you can make more money detailing cars. Also, if it is something that you like to do, then there's the added bonus of job satisfaction. There will be start up costs associated with your business, mostly just the purchase of the car-care products, however it should be relatively small.

It's better to work in a business that you eventually want to start. So if your goal is to start a detailing business someday, work in one for a year to learn the trade. Steal his best ideas, come up with your own, then open your own place and do it better.
If you just want to earn money, work someplace where you can impress your manager with your work ethic. Show up early for work, stay late and smile at people.

working at a grocery store at least you can have a stady income. Washing cars can be fine for a while, but then what happens when you run out of cars to wash?
