What can I say? You've got everything waiting to be tapped. But I suggest that you stay calm and proceed with caution. The market is there as you see it. Now, I suggest that you try to approach these prospective auto dealers whom you say, needs your service. Talk to them. Try to get their honest opinion whether they will give you that benefit of referring to you their detailing business. Try to to get a commitment. Of course, they don't have to sign a contract with you yet, but their comments and opinions can give you an idea whether it's worthwhile pursuing your dream.

Now, try to write a business plan so that you can see for yourself how you will start and run the business. Here are some considerations that I suggest you look into. As it is at the moment, you have personally done the detailing to your car by yourself. Have you considered how you will handle the business when customers starts coming in? Will you hire people? How about if more than three cars come at one time, have you thought of how you will park them? How much will you charge? Would the expected profit compensate for the "obscene" rent and leave you with a decent profit? How about your utilities, telephone, equipment, etc? If the business does not pick up as fast as you expected, will you have additional source of capital other than the $6,000 you have with credit cards?

Also, check the zoning of that area. Consult the City Hall authorities if that area is zoned for your planned business.

It is always better to write a business plan and properly lay down the details before you jump start the business. At least, you will be prepared and eliminate many possible errors that you might make..

But if everything is fine, start small and grow as you go on. Everything is there - go for it.

Good luck!
