does anyone do car valeting aswell?
« on: February 10, 2010, 08:06:17 pm »
i have just seen a van for sale with all the valeting kit,i done car valeting a few years back and although i made enough money is was never really enough,but maybe alongside window cleaning might be ok?
 I already do window cleaning,gutter vaccing and patio and drive cleaning and caravan cleans.
 Do you think valeting would make it too many services?

Hi
Personally I would say you need to focus on one aspect of your business and really make that work. I may be sticking my neck out a bit but from observation, I think those who carpet clean and window clean find it more difficult as someones law says that your carpet cleaning jobs will always come on dry sunny days.

The general view is that window cleaning pays better than car valeting. Concentrate on doing window cleaning and stay focussed.

Why waste time making less money...?
Surely better to fill it with more window cleaning.

I did valeting and it's a lot harder work too.
Stick to windows if I were you. Do a bit more fascia and conservatory roof cleaning or something.

round here theres mobile valeters who charge 5 quid for wash and dry,

or take your car to petrol station machine wash for 2 quid. people dont and wont pay money to have there car washed, there is a place where you fill up more than 30 quid and get your car washed free

the other day i seen a guy in a ferrari having it washed at tesco, swirls and scratchs come included in the 2 quid price.

dont waste your time with valeting its got FAIL written all over it

Detailing as opposed to valeting, theres money in that, however, thats a totally different ball game to valeting...
