Start up cost: $200 equipment needed: see list below Auto detailing is a fun and profitable business, especially for those who love cars! Many people will get their car detailed as they want to have that extra attention that most carwashes don’t provide. You can detail cards at the customers home or you could set up shop at a local gas station. Recently, I saw a man who had quite a busy little detailing shop set up in the underground parking garage of a high-rise office building. Options are available! HOW TO GET STARTED: First, put together a kit with the following items: - car wax - Rubbing compound (for scuffs and nicks) - Polish designed for auto paint - Car soap - Scrub brush - Sponges - Towel towels - Window cleaner - Chrome polish - Leather/vinyl cleaner - Rags - Vacuum - Bucket - Chamois/micro-fiber cloths - Carpet shampoo - Tar remover - Tire cleaner - WD-40 - High pressure hose nozzle Also: - Read as many books as you can on the subject of car care and auto detailing, educating yourself on how to become a professional in your new business! - Detail your own car using the new message you’ve learned. Taking before and after pictures of your work is a must! Ask if you can detail a couple of your friends or families cars to add to your portfolio! - Decide where you want to operate your business. Such as door-to-door, office building, garages, gas stations, and then start advertising! Word-of-mouth is huge, but business cards are timeless. #business #autodetailing #buildingbusiness #lovewhatyoudo #businesslicense #llc #marketing #branding #onemarketplacellc #worklifebalance #success #helpingothers #startnow #bravo #dowhatyoulivetodotoday
