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. :thumb:

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.

We can look after that side of things, we insure many professional, full and part time detailers..

Do you do engine bays?

B0DSKI 12 December 2012 05:42 PM

Not as yet Tel. Going to have a go on mine before I'd be willing to do somebody else's.

Good luck with it mate, If you can make a few quid out of something you enjoy doing it always a bonus :thumb:

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

Booked until mid May Chris but I'm sure I can slip you in somewhere........So to speak ;)

B0DSKI 24 April 2013 08:29 PM

Few pictures of a Impreza STi hatch I did today. Long day, started at 9am and didn't finish till almost 6pm. Lots and lots of both tar and Iron in the paint which took a while to get rid of.
Machine polished with Hex Logic Pads and Menzerna polishes. Werkstat Acrylic Kit used as the LSP as it always looks great on white. Always difficult to get reflection and gloss on white but I think I managed today ok ;)
