Getting my ducks in a row

Going to be retiring from my day job soon :yay and have seriously considered starting up a detailing business. I've always loved detailing any car/truck and I need some kind of start up plan. Also considered going mobile with it since I have no garage or shop but cost on that would be an issue.

Anyone have some advice or website where I can find some info?

Thanks - Tek

WHOA!!
Didn't mean for you to get your war on:surrender
I'm NO kid, just act like one. A 53 year old kid.
New to the forum so my profile is lacking but I live in NorCal - home of some of the finest Traiblazer SS's.
(yup - that's a Corvette LS-2 engine 6.0 blah,blah,blah).
And for this elcaminokid dude - ??? I'm offended.

Ok now that's out of the way -
any real words of wisdom?
 
Don't do it! Go hang out on the beach and drink Margaritas.:cool:

Seriously. Detailing is not easy work but if you really want to then I need to know at what level you plan to work. Are we talking a few cars a week? Full time?

If your just wanting to use it to fill in some time and have extra money in your pocket then I don't think you need to get set up as a business.

Never heard of one of those POS's:notme: You on TBSSowners.com? What have you done to yours Addco bars efans?
 
I'm on TBSS Owners but mine is pretty much stock since all my cash goes in the gas tank (if you know what I mean:D). Have done some cosmetic things - decals, rotors - but someday.
As far as the business- low key, one job a week would be great to start. Don't need to make a living at it just like the challenge of making something look beautiful from ordinary.
Have some product knowledge and have learned alot here and elsewhere.
I like doing it so thought I'd explore
