About the Book

There are literally millions of cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles that travel the streets every day. Add to that the thousands of boats, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, jet skis, and snowmobiles owned by individuals. Besides privately owned vehicles, millions of vehicles are owned by corporations, car rental agencies, truck leasing agencies, small businesses, utilities, and governmental agencies. Each of these forms of transportation, whether privately owned, business owned, or government owned, represent a substantial investment. All forms of transportation are subject to the effects of weathering by the sun, rain, heat, cold, and chemicals.

Detailing for Fun and Profit describes what paint is, how it is effected by heat, sun and chemicals, and how you can restore the interior and exterior of your car, truck, boat, or recreational vehicle to that "like new" condition. It offers step by step procedures for the complete detailing process. It will tell you what materials and equipment will be needed.

If you are interested in starting a detailing business, Detailing for Fun and Profit will help you set up a business plan, identify potential markets, and develop a marketing plan.

Whether you are just curious about detailing, would like to detail your personal vehicles, or are interested in starting a detailing business, Detailing for Fun and Profit is the right book for you.
