Would like some feedback on peoples opinions on how you all feel about the idea cos I aint took the plunge full time yet just doing it part time and still driving the lorries.

Looks good - nice clear layout and easy navigation. There are a couple of spelling errors tho', vacum should be vacuum and vynil should be vinyl - not trying to be a smartarse just thought you want it to be professional

Very nice, site is smart.

My brother has his own car valeting business and he seems to enjoy it. His biggest problem is winter, not alot of people wont to spend tonnes of money on having a full valet. He has a cheaper option of about 20 quid for cars and 25 quid for 4x4 and MPV's but not sure they consist of, i dont have one of his leaflets kicking about.

But this time of year he is really busy. Alot of his business is repeat customers which book him to come every 4 weeks. Plus when he started he dropped leaflets off at the big factorys and offices at the local industrial estates offering discounts on booking of 3 or more cars at the same time, so now he goes to these places doing all the company cars.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info mate plan of canvassing the office blocks and business parks soon,

but I always have my hgv licence to fall back when the winter comes and it gets too quiet I'll just get a few shifts with an agency to make up the earnings

OK guys as of next week I will be fully self contained from the back of my van water tank should have been here Thursday but floods down south have held it up so hopefull for next weekend I'll be working with my own onboard water and power supply.

Just spent close to £300 on products today

but that included a brand new Porter Cable 7424 and Sonus SFX pad kit for some serious machine polishing and paintwork correction

.

I'll get some pics of the van up when I get it all kitted out and sorted
