Detailing business startup

I’m a 16 year old who is interested in starting up a detailing business/side hustle in the Pittsburgh area

does anyone have any recommendations on how i should go about getting started and stuff on the topic of that?

Also, any brand suggestions? I use a lot of Suds.lab products which seem to work well and have good results. Want more knowledge on it

I'd check out Rupes for more in depth knowledge and training, after the basics.

YouTube.com is your friend. Pan The Organizer will explain a lot and Adam’s Polish has videos on their products.

Advice: Charge what your time and material is worth and go beyond what is expected. Keeping a returning customer is less expensive than finding new customers.

Good Luck.
