TBH Mate, unless you are s**t hot, I don't think it will work.
I am quiet into my detailing... Had a g220, got a rotory and £200+ worth of polish/wax etc and even when I offered my services out to people, they were not prepared to pay £150 for a full detail - People just don't understand the work involved to get a car in A1 condition.
If you have the will and put the effort in though I would say its worth it. I lose the will to live after one car lol.

Probably because you have the will power Jamie...They paid me Luke
I get that wrapped up in making sure the car is spot on mint - As I don't want the owner of it to be like wtf its barely different. Think I just spend too much time on them and wear myself out...
You have got it worked out properly though. In/out -Looks mint - Done.
I couldn't even be arsed to do my car for megs top 25 id arsed about doing all my mates/familys cars.
Danny - yeh sure, once the weather has cleared up though
Jamie - I take back all the good things I have just said.

yeh it will more likely be around April time when im looking for it done, didnt want to ask for it done too early, as i dont finish University till then.
Adam, I'm based in the East Mids, and, it's tough. If you're new to the scene, you're going to struggle. How much work have you done? What is your most 'wanted' package? You must have work ready and waiting before taking the plunge. I was a 'weekend warrior' for three years prior to going live.
At the minute, it's quiet. "who'd of thought, eh?" BUT, this time next year, I will have picked up more maintenance contracts in which I visit my regs on a bi-weekly basis. Valeting! That's your bread and butter money.. It'd be great if we could all 'Detail' everyday - but we all know that isn't going to happen overnight.
My advise? Get cracking. Get involved in groups, pick up regular work and hope they pass it on to their friends, who then tell their hairdresser who then passes it on to two or three of their clients etc etc. It's a vicious circle. (...if you can get the ball rolling in the first place)
Here is an after of one of my most recent 'big' jobs.. A classic Range Rover put through an Enhancement Detail in readiness for a sale.
This was a lead that was three customers long. IE, Customer A, told his friend (customer B). Customer B then had me work on theirs, and, they told their friend (Customer C..) etc! Customer C is now passing an SL63 AMG on to me. Happy days? I think so.
You need to be a step-ahead of yourself everyday. Our trouble is, every Tom, Dick and Harry that has access to a Porter Cable7424 or equivalent is offering their services for £100. Uninsured, lack of experience with finishing down, lack of experience with different paint types and product uses, and, half of them haven't got PTG's to measure the paint they're removing. Mind, we all have to start somewhere.
Slammed172, ouch. bit of T-cut though and you should be OK:approve:

:approve:Thanks JD.
Great work with the DB7 Volante. That was in a bit of a state!! I had a British Racing Green one recentely, unable to take many shots throughout though as it was a PIG of a day weather wise, and, the garage was only just big enough to move in! Nightmare.

Thanks jim. Just need to get hold of some time to do my own. VAG paint should be fun as always.
Paul, PTAV from DW?!
Detailing is/was my weekend hobby, too. BUT, I can't look back. Each car comes with its own challenges.. Damned cold at this time of year, but, other than, I can't grumble!
Nathan, how's things? That was a while ago now.. Infact, that was October 2008! My, how things have changed.
