How To Make up To #10,000 A Day From Car Wash
Along Akobo road in Ibadan here, is a car wash charging N300 per car. I know because I washed there before. Besides, for the purpose of this essay I have studied them.
What You Get.
Now, what does it take you to start one like that? If they wash 30 cars a day, that works out at N9000. Nine thousand naira a day is real money and your raw material is water, which is almost free. In some cities, people will gladly pay more.

Research.
Do not lose money; know your market inside out. I was told of where they charge N700 to wash a car.
The secret of this business is that you have to site your outfit along a road trafficked by those in B and A economic class. These people can pay the charges.
Study your area properly, there must be one or two places you can site your own. If the place has not gotten a stream, or you cannot connect with government water supply which is not reliable anyway, dig a well. Water for washing does not need NAFDAC approval
Equipment
After this, get a water pump, some meters of hose, a couple of buckets, some washing towels and you are on. I must add that if you want the caliber of customers to take you higher in the economic ladder, you have to add class.
Rich people do not spend their money with people outside their class.You may not believe me, but that is the truth. Ask Benz and big cars mechanics, they do not share garages with bus artisans because rich men will not come there.
Overdeliver
Wash the cars sparklingly clean. Go the extra mile to please your customers.
If your customer brings his child, make sure the child drinks a bottle of mineral even if the dad declines your offer. Next car wash the child will drag his father there. Kids and women have a lot of influence on their man.
If you have the means, you may add drinks while they are waiting for their cars to be washed. It does not spoil anything. One thing, since you are dealing with elites, two dailies will increase your value.
