There is business opportunity in providing auto detailing services as people value the appearance of their vehicles. Starting such a business requires little startup costs and could be operated from a plot of land or the back of a van, detailing cars in customers' own driveways. To be successful, some key considerations include gaining knowledge about cars through practice, choosing an appropriate location like providing a mobile service, advertising the services offered through various means, and having some working capital for equipment, subsistence, and advertising. Researching competition will also help in determining pricing.
