Detailing cars

Why should you consider detailing cars for a living and what is so special about detailing a car?

The quick answer is car detailing is one of the last remaining businesses that does not require a large amount of start up capital.

You can start by detailing cars at home with your spare time. By starting small you will be able to develop your trade into an art form and become especially talented at detailing a car in a short period of time.

The learning curve is not as steep as with many other mechanical trades. And yes the truly great car detailer will start small. Practice makes perfect as with any worthwhile skill or trade.

As you develop your talent for detailing cars your results will get noticed. This will begin to snowball when people start seeing your finished work and wanting their car to look that way as well.

You can not argue the fact that driving a freshly detailed car brings a special feeling of well being that is not duplicated in many areas of life.

You can also jump start your home business by passing out fliers around your neighborhood and knocking on some neighbor’s doors.

How to start car detailing

Get some practice by detailing a car for free. Paying leads from the recipient of the free service will also be guaranteed. Offering a couple of pro bono jobs can pay big dividends in the long run.

Another tip would to offer very low pricing to start and use this to secure some regular customers.

Detailing a car effectively at a bargain price is the building blocks for an explosive income potential. My best friend has been detailing cars for about 10 years. At first as a side business.

He calls his best customers and tells them he is available. The customers never say no. Even if they just went through the car wash.

The reason is that they know they better jump on the opportunity while the offer is available. He goes the extra mile and his customers know it.

As a side note he charges $75.00 for a full detail. But he has received up to $50.00 tips for many of his automotive detailing services.

When I am on vacation from my regular job I work with him for some extra cash. We head on over to the local privately owned used car lot and offer our services as a package price.

By cleaning vehicles that are sitting right next to each other we can stream line the process and get a lot done in a short period of time.

Now of course as I stated on the detailing cars home page My friend now does this full time and has quit his nine to five job.

As an other side note, now that his business is a full time registered entity his yearly trip to the taxman has become a little easier on his wallet.

He can deduct his trailer full of equipment and the brand new truck that pulls it. Plus he is detailing cars at the tax advisers office.
