I've said this before when someone else asked about it
A good mate of mine has run valeting business now for the last 8 years and if he didnt do other things like Window Tinting he wouldnt be in business now (
www.rpbvaleting.co.uk)
It is not a good business to be in at the moment.
You have the Kosovan-Car-Washes springing up all over the place now where for from £5 you get a team of guys on your car for about 10 minutes and the car looks lovely. My mate even got them to do his car one day so he could see what they did and he was well impressed and hes the professional valeter.
He said, he cant compete with that and there are two or three in the town
The motor trade is on its arse again so car sales arent moving, so as a result the trade arent putting cars in regularly to be valeted.
If you are going to go ahead with it then make sure when you are making money in the summer you put some away to last through the quiet times.
