: Washing/detailing business
Silvertitan7 03-17-2007, 01:40 AM Ok guys I'm in an entrepreneurship class at my school and in order to make an A in the class I have to start a real business and make at least $300. Since I LOVE washing and detailing my Titan I decided to start a detailing business. I was just wandering if anybody had tips for me or anything like that and also how much on average do you pay to get a wash or detail?
BTW anybody in the Tomball area just let me know if you want to help a kid make an "A".
Here's my truck just after I washed it.

Describe clear coat engine please. I've also worked for a detailer, and not sure what this is.

We used to use an aerosol can of a clear coat dressing for the engine. You can get the same effect with formula 2001.
