• Careful, detail-focused work
• Using polishers and cleaning products safely
• Quoting jobs by vehicle size and condition
• Working outdoors in the heat

• Public liability insurance, plus cover for your equipment and vehicle
• Council or park rules on wastewater and runoff, so check your local council
• Risk of damaging paint, decals or fibreglass, so test products first
• Working at height on roofs, so plan safe access and ask about the right gear
• An ABN is needed, and GST registration once turnover reaches the threshold

Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around $2,500 to $10,000, depending on your polishers, cleaning products, vehicle, water setup and insurance. Testing products first helps you avoid costly damage to paint, decals or fibreglass.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,500 to $7,000, depending on how many vehicles you detail, their size and condition, and your pricing. The idea assumes at least about 10 hours a week, and revenue is not profit.

Check council or park rules on wastewater and runoff with your local council. Also check public liability insurance and cover for your equipment and vehicle, safe access and gear for working at height on roofs, and ABN and GST registration once turnover reaches the threshold.
