    Is anybody out there involved in the car valeting business??

    If so, maby you could tell me whether I have any chance of getting a job as a car valet in the current climate? It is something that I have been wanting to get into for ages now but anytime I see an add looking for staff it always includes the '2 years experience necessary' line.

    I do not have any experience, apart from working on my own cars as well as friends for shows, ect. so do I have zilch chance of actually getting a job??

    Are you serious? It's something i'd love to get into myself but there are so many car valet businesses out there at the moment it's unbelievable how they make any sort of income.

    Still, people need food and there's always a market for that. People can wash/wax their own cars instead of paying for the privilege of someone else doing it.

    I personally love detailing my own car!

    If you were valeting, you'd need to be cleaning cars 24/7 to earn enough money for food!
