What do I need to start a business

[Poorboy]

well I am pretty good at detailing - I have all the tools needed and depending on the condition of the car - 1-2 hours can turn out a "wowser" to the average consumer. The reason I got curious is I work in an industrial park now, I had the local guy do my trailblazer (the vehicle I would be using) for a "detail" in/out and hand wax - 100 bucks - xxxxty job - residue in my gaps, tire shine on the wheels, smeared windows...and the people here were like "really? we think he is awesome" And he took about an 1 hour and I think he cranked out 7-8 cars that day - 800 bucks for xxxxty work lol.

Getting your car detailed by the competition was the right thing to do.

Now you have some good information to improve upon. My question is how are you going to educate the consumer? Meaning if they think he is awesome how are you going to show them they are missing out on something special?

this goes back to Troy's thread about running a business... obviously he know how to run a business without knowing how to do good work.
Eventually people will get tired of poor quality and not recommend him anymore, but that may be quite a while if he has limited or no competition. It's hard to educate the public, but holding free classes and demonstrations would be a good place to start.
