M&R Detailing

Over the summer a friend and i started a small business of our own. At the time i did not have any source of income coming my way while he had already had a job. I remember him calling me asking me if i knew any thing about detailing cars. In the past i had washed my own truck and family members vehicles and that was about it. He then proceed to asked me if i wanted to start detailing vehicles with him for some extra cash on the side. At the time i did not think it was going to be that great of a challenge seeing it was just cleaning cars;however it did not turn out to be that way.  Our fist job was his parents and sisters car. He had already purchased several different cleaning supplies for us to get started. We started with his mothers car which was not to difficult due to it being fairly small.Once we finished the first car we were about 3 hrs in so we figured we would finish the rest the next day. So the next morning i went back to his house and washed his sisters car and after about another 3 hrs of cleaning I had already had enough scrubbing for the day.On the third day we were going to start washing his fathers SUV which was a lot larger than the other vehicles we had already washed. It took us around 4 hrs to clean one car. I quickly realized it was a lot harder than i thought to detail cars. There is a lot of work and detail that goes in to the interior and the exterior.At that point i started making a website at website named Weebly.com that allows you to make them for free.I put how much it cost and our location and contact information. We ended up deciding that we would name it M&R Detailing for the first letter in each of our last names.After starting a webpage i that it would be a good idea to make some business cards to hand out people after we detailed their cars to get our name out. As the summer started to end we had a few more cars that we detailed before it became to cold to do it. I'm unsure if we will pick up where we left off coming into the next summer but i hope we do.
