San Francisco, Bay Area- Car Detailing

[liquidtiger720]

Okay guys. At the moment, I am a flat broke college student. My job barely covers my gas money to and from school (I work part time as a utility person at home chef aka Viking cooking school/store). So, I'm sitting here to ask anybody if they need their car detailed. This is so I can pay for books and stuff next semester along with new toys =). (My summer semester ends August 12th, and Fall semeter starts August 17th...so there is no time to really work). So. Does anybody want thier car detailed - exterior wise.

Good luck with the new venture, Josh!

Too bad I a) don't live anywhere near California, and b) Fritz doesn't have any paint...else I'd be your first customer.

best, whit

Hehe. Thanks Whit.

Too far away from me. Plus I kind of enjoy keeping my car looking good myself, but I'm hope you get some customers.

Seems to be the problem with posting this on enthusiast sites. :D

Thanks.

Looks good! Try posting on craigslist. I'll pass this information on to some of my friends.

[liquidtiger720]

Thanks Anton. I guess you are in the bay area? Don't miss the 5er meet in Aug.

Did you post in the regional forum on bimmerforums?

[liquidtiger720]

I would...but there is somebody doing the same thing. I don't want to step on his toes.

Two business references:

1)Does Macy's tell Gimbels. This is in reference to business plans but easily stretches to every man for himself.

A better one may be:

2) One attorney in a town may starve. Two attorneys in a town and both will make money.

Don't worry bout the toes. Your ad will probably help the other guy, especially if you do like major corporations and collaborate or conspire.

Here's the real deal. If your car really looks as good as the pics, put a sign on it and hang around or drive around down in the financial district at noon. You know, college student trying to earn money for habit and first semester tuition. Maybe you can make TV or the Chronicle.

Guess I'm dating myself from the 60s. Better place to show might be Silicon Valley but you need people out of their cars or waiting for stop light to have time to read the sign.
Get some Tule racks so yoiu can have a large vert sign on top.
