You need experience, nobody is going to let you buff their lambo with no experience. I owned a boat and car detailing business on Lake Minnetonka for six years. It's a heavily saturated market and getting new clients is tough. You need dealerships and they usually have a buddy that owns a shop, or their own in-house. The guy I have do my details can barely pay the bills sometimes and he just lost his biggest account to a nephew of the client's used car sales manager. He did pick up Carousel Porsche in their place though.

It's a good business, but it'll take you a good three years to make any money. And if you burn through someone's paint and you don't have insurance, be prepared to get sued heavily.

And lastly, a good website isn't going to do much good. Word of mouth is the best, a visible location on a major thoroughfare is second, and a yellow pages listing is almost required.
