Detailing: Clean4U Year in Review

As most of you know, this was my first year detailing for a full time living. What was just a hobby has became a serious business for me. I account for 90% of my family's household income so I had to go from "hobby" mode to professional. This forum's members, along with others, gave me the time and attention to make Clean4U not only profitable but enjoyable this year. I thought I'd share with you some of my greater experiences from this year.

Thank you all again!

Well, it all started out pretty scary......




But hard work pays off!




Then as time went on and my name got out there, business increased. This allowed for me to pick & choose my details. They got really better!

One customer tells another and soon I was really growing. Acutally hired a helper for the summer. Not to mention my trip to the ER from dehydration.
More details.......






As my knowledge grew through forums and friends, so did my collection of supplies! It is almost an addiction.
Details.....






I just want to thank every member that has helped out me and others. We all cannot do this alone and are always learning. Thank you for helping me and my business be successfull in 2006.
Here's to 2007!

WWJD! It's always a pleasure hearing from you and your reviews. Even being a new member, a newbie to detailing, you always take the time to answer PMs and answer them in full detail. Thanks bro!
