The Complete Car Detailing Business Startup Guide

by Kincaid and Le Companies LLC

Car detailing is one of the few businesses where you can start with under $500, operate from your driveway, and scale to six figures within 12-18 months. The math is simple: a single exterior detail takes 1-2 hours and commands $75-200. A full interior and exterior detail runs $200-500. High-end paint correction and ceramic coating jobs bring in $500-2,000 per vehicle.
