Start detailing cars for extra money

Detail a car a day and keep the bill collectors away

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 detailers all started 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 start small and begin to snowball into people 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 flyers around your neighborhood and knocking on some neighbor’s doors.

My best friend has been detailing cars for about 10 years. At first as a side business.

He would pick and choose the cars He wanted to detail on the weekends, or when ever he had extra time and the desire to make some extra money.

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 detailing a car 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 detailing cars 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.

First he developed his talents at detailing cars. Then he built a small customer base. Then he expanded on that and bought a detailing trailer with a gas powered pressure washer and the needed detailing equipment to cut the time down of detailing a car.

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 walet.

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