$19.95 Mobile Wash & Wax!

[DeadlySheds]

Hey all,

I'm considering setting up a little side hussle to help with my rainy day fund. I've been researching the market in my area and am astounded at the prices some of these 'detailers' are offering.

One guy here offers a full 'wash and wax' for $ 20 and says he can do it in 15-20 minutes! I can't even get my wheels / wells done that fast.
That's just one guy, and folks like this are a dime a dozen!

Amazing how little value some folks give themselves!

I would call and ask how his process is done. I think that would be funny to hear.

Can you say: Power Washer, Crappy Wash, Spray Wax?!?!?

[timaishu]

Call him and ask, I am really curios. There is no way he can do a good job. My best guess is pressure washer, and shooting on a foam of wash n wax soap and then rinse off, no drying. Sprays some harsh chemicals on jamps,wheels,tires and wipes with towel without rinsing.

Maybe it's $19.95 per side?

I takes me about 10-15 mins just to set up my gear once I get to a job...

I takes me 30 mins to do 4 wheels, maybe he just uses Megs Waterless Wash and Wax Anywhere...................lol

EXACTLY add up the BUSINESS COST- Supplies,electric,phone,water, insurance etc..... and the are making LESS THEN MINIMAL WAGE AT THOSE RATES...NowI can see as a SPECIAL OFFER, but NOT DAY TO DAY. a container of wax (small) cost $10.00 GET REAL.
I would question the Products & teachniques as well as equipment.

Why dont you get a doner car and pay the $20 to watch what he does. Then let us know, because I'm curious as well. Washing my car takes me 1-2 hours but im pretty anal with it...

[rustytruck]

Sounds like a deal. Maybe he can do my truck.


Remember those are Canadian dollars.

I'm not knocking the guy at all. More power to him if that's what works for him.

I'm just appalled someone would feel they are worth so little! Plus he is mobile & has to factor in fuel which at $ 1.33/liter ain't cheap!
