So I was at a Steampunk festival a couple weeks back and this happened.
Godzilla next.

I play video games, wrench on cars, bust my knuckles on power tools, fight traffic on a bicycle, and read cereal boxes if I can't find a book. he / him. Canadian. Never 51.
![This is a weird one, but for a bunch of reasons, I'm thinking about detailing as a business. I've considered this as a "post retirement" income (and that's weird to say), and I'm considering starting sooner rather than later.
So, there's two groups of people, I figure, reading this.
1] normal people! If that's you, talk to me about what you're willing to pay for an exquisitely detailed vehicle, understanding that you pay more for more extensive results. A serious, deep, deep clean, polish, protect on the exterior, and full interior (seats removed, etc) is likely 6-12 hours depending on condition & size of vehicle, where an exterior wash & basic polish is probably 2 hours.
2] car people! I know MOST of you probably do this yourself as a labour of love. You also know the work/time/effort that goes into it. What are your thoughts? What products do you swear by?
This might be something I consider doing "mobile / come to you" as well.
If you need something done NOW? Talk to me about that, too! I'm always interested in getting things other than my own vehicles to work on. Especially things that are really rough and maybe a little neglected (no judgment - I have a 7 year old, I know how had it is to get to this stuff).
As a background, i started studying and practicing all this, (and buying what I have, which is extensive, in terms of products and tools) fifteen years ago. So while I don't have professional experience, I've got a lot of working on cars in the community, and my own (the Genesis got a full go 2-3x a year, for example).
I'm pretty good at it.
So, your thoughts are helpful. And yeah, if you've got something that's super rough, inside and/or outside, that needs a working over, talk to me, and maybe we can do some adhoc work before I even get this thing going, if I get this thing going.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ttneto27gcqukxagemgcra5r/bafkreib35oldy6tszyxu2ruzouzlrlwx3axlkxy3opeuefulqbtg6apmd4)
