Did anyone ever.........
...give any thought to a do-it-yourself detailing center. Where everything, except the car, is supplied on a package basis. I was thinking of something to keep me close to the hobby I love in retirement, but know that my body couldn't take it for long if I did it all myself. Could this work out or am I-
 Your input would be appreciated!

Giving this a lot of thought. All top notch equipment, Polishers,extractors,mf,polishes ,sealents,waxes,foam guns,filtered water,clean compressed air etc.
We all know this stuff costs a ton if you're starting out. Packages from just a wash to all out correction. Ps-no rotarys

If you lived in an area that had the population to support this kind of venture I think its a good idea. Would someone be there during business hours for direction and tips? I believe your onto a pretty good thing here....

Sounds like a good / original idea to me.
I don't know how many people would visit you for the high end stuff. I know a lot of people wouldn't mind doing a wash themselves...but I think the majority of our clients don't want to spend the time detailing their own car. Those who do don't really know how. Maybe you could have instructions.

I see this as being a Detailing Dojo with myself as the Grand Master, so to speak. I would wear a hooded robe(microfibre of course)and dispense my wisdom and knowledge with ease. I have found out that you don't need to know everything,just more than the person asking the question. I think that car clubs and attendees at car shows would have some interest in being able to get the results of a $300-$400 detail for a fraction of the cost. Most of these folks are great wrenches, but don't have a clue when it comes to detailing. When I go to a show I'm asked if I'm entering the show and thats with my daily driver. How about the Father/Son experience and the local street racers? You would need population density and good marketing for sure. Still thinking/dreaming. Your ideas?

I think this idea has potential. Within a large population of course. You would have a high turnover ratio, once people learned and started doing this with their own tools. Also the people that don't do well, probably won't return either. I do think the idea has merit, and could be developed into something enjoyable and somewhat profitable.
