Mobile Car Detailing

A van, water tank, and skill — you go to the customer. Low startup cost, recurring

clients, cash-flow fast.

Steps: (1) buy/borrow basic kit; (2) detail 3 cars free for photos; (3) post

before/after content (Core Four); (4) charge per package.

What we got wrong (general): we have not personally run this business, so the numbers

above are labeled estimates, not measured results — confirm locally before relying on them.
