Wax on, wax off 3/21

Here’s a guy with a damned good idea. (Vid and link courtesy of good friend)

I mean, why the hell didn’t I ever think of that? Wash cars with scientific precision and expensive soaps. Get paid 8-10 grand a car? If you think about it, demanding that high a price for your super-awesome-amazing-fun-time-go wash would eliminate Hondas almost entirely from your list of client’s cars.

Instead of this:
You get to wash this:

It’s like being offered a plate of crap covered crackers and a plate of fine Dutch chocolates, isn’t it? Which one to choose…

Think about how simple this formula is. If you can find a way to service the super-rich people and do something (well) then you can charge them obscene amounts of money. You get to work with cool shit and rip off the well-to-do as well! It’s win-win! (Sorry, rich guy. No amount of whining will ever make me feel sorry for you. Get over it, you have millions, own it.)

I won’t kid myself, there is no way I could do what he does. I think I would be enthralled the first few times, the methodical and detailed…er…detailing process would be enough to keep me going. Soon enough I know I would tire of it and might skip a step or leave a sandwich on the hood and watch some TV. I don’t know for certain, but I can imagine that a Bugatti owner might take umbrage to me leaving my lunch on his paint, if not litigious.

Then again at 8 grand a car I might be motivated to find the strength to go on.

I think this “chap” can serve as a lesson to all of us: It can be done. Or is it that stranger things have happened? You never know until you try? A bird in hand is worth two in the bush?

No, a good idea makes money, you just have to get off your ass and do it.
