I used to run a valeting work shop with my partner so may be able to give you some tips. We sold the business on at a profit after two years. Will say though doing the interiors is hard work if you want to achieve good results. When you do its great though!
You want to get in touch with all the car dealers as that kind of regular work used to cover all of our over heads. Get loads of fliers made up and on nice days go to car parks and put one under their wind screen wipers.
P.s get someone on board to help you once you have a good customer base as there are only so many cars one man can clean in a day!
If you want any tips on how to get good results just ask!

Chan,
Valeting is totally different from washing cars with a WFP.
I charge £85.00 for a full interior/exterior VALET.
Somebody near me charges £10 to WASH cars.
Big difference.

We also do valeting (not just washing cars) and charge £49 for average family car interior and exterior. The end results are showroom condition cars. However we only get requests for valeting very infrequently and we charge alot less than you do. How do you get the valeting jobs? By the way your price is much more realistic as it is extremely hard work doing a proper valet on any car!!
