I see that you are considering starting an automotive car detailing company and that is a good choice because there are over 250 million cars in the United States of America in each year automakers sell another 17 million cars throughout our country. Let's face it we are a car nation and therefore it makes sense if you're going to start a small business of you're own or a home based business you will want to start a company where you could have lots of customers.

Since everyone owns a car it makes sense to start in automotive car detailing company. But you need to consider a strategy of which type of customers you're going to go after and how best to market to those customers. Often we see new automotive car detailing companies buying expensive phonebook ads and this is unfortunate because your best customers always come from referrals or friends of friends.

It takes a while to get the hang of car detailing because each car is a little different, but eventually you can become a master of the trade. There are two types of main customers in auto car detailing; there is the wholesale detail customer like car lots and auto dealerships and there is the customer who is a private party who owns a very expensive car and wants to keep it in pristine shape.

The going rate for wholesale auto detailing for car dealerships is between 50 and $75. But the average going rate for detailing for private parties can be his high as $100 to $200. Now you can see why so many people want to get into the automotive car detailing business and start a business in automotive car detailing of their own.

But I must warn you it is not easy work and if you do not do good job then you will not have the referrals you need to make a lot of money in the future. Every business is a risk and this is something you should consider in 2006.
