How to start your own detailing business
Start Your Own Detailing Business
- Rakeem’s Detailing
How I went from a car, two hands, and no job in 2020 to running a mobile shop. Setup, licenses, insurance, pricing, kit, car vs van, gas vs electric. Where the first jobs come from — door-to-door, lots, pop-ups, referrals.
You learn the work and the business: packages, high-ticket, time, clients, and how not to get stuck at $50 washes.
This is the start playbook. Build it so it pays. Not theory — how I actually started.
