You then need to replace the products you have spoilt by cleaning 5 cars in say one day..
75pounds - 1 new wash mitt - buffing cloths - any products that have ran dry.
Lets say after 5 cars and all items replaced we have 55pounds left.. Take away another 15pounds for travel because you won't be stationary, and then another couple of pounds for food..
if each valet is taking more than 1 and a half hours, you wont get anymore than 5 in a day once you take breaks out and travelling to each customer.. This is why most valeters resort to cheap items, like sponges, and chamois because you need to cut back otherwise you won't be making enough money to live.
If you start using a UDM your going to need a generator if the client is not in and what happens if the client does not have a hose? you will also need a water tank meaning you need a van. It's all well and good doing the odd one beetween friends but as a business.. it's not as easy as it looks.. I would think twice myself.
