Car detailing & Valeting.
Not sure if this is allowed or not ??
I've taken a bit of a step forward with my car Detailing & Valeting and Instead of just doing friends and family's car's I've started a bit of a part time venture called BRCarDetailing.
Here's a link to my Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/BrCarDetailing
At the moment It's just in and around the Essex/Suffolk area.
Anybody want's anything doing then drop me a PM or the email address is on the Facebook page.
Even if you're not in the local area please give the Facebook page a like and a share to help widen the audience.
Thanks

watch where you advertise as its not just a case of washing peoples car`s,
the council will be asking how you recycle the water and what you do with the waste, there is also the insurance side of things.

Good luck with it mate, If you can make a few quid out of something you enjoy doing it always a bonus
I tend to use degreaser takes time to do it properly but looks like new when finished(apart from the intercooler)
Still not looking bad for 9 years old though

I usually charge anything between £80 - £120 depending on the size of the car, the amount of work required and the choice of LSP. It usually takes 6-8 hours to do a complete enhancement detail
