    Always Looking For New Ideas

    I have always enjoyed a clean, shining vehicle. I invested in a Porter Cable 7336 about six months ago and have enjoyed the great results I get with it. I would eventually like to do some detailing as partime business in the summer when I am not teaching. I am willing to listen to new ideas and try new techniques.

    tell us youre goals and im sure well get you on the right track. how serious are you? are you ready to make the plunge into pro detailing ? you have to start thinking about an extractor and rotary to remove serious defects . then you need to design biz cards and do some advertising ... i made the plunge and im making usually 800.00 per mo on weekends only. it took me a year to pay off my investment but now im making profit

    :yeah
    You can never have too much information.

    One thing to keep in mind. Being a good detailer does not necessarily mean you will be a good business man. You do need to think about some sort of a basic business plan. Keeping track of expenses, how to get known, how to handle the tax situation, what to do about insurance. Not big problems, but something to be considered.
