Wash, wax and valet. Wash cars faster than anyone else on the ring road.

A hand car wash is a cheap site, a jet wash and a team of people, and almost all of the cost is wages, so the sums only work if every pair of hands is busy and the upsell to a full valet lands. The trade has a poor reputation for pay and conditions, and HMRC, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority and the council all take an interest in who is working on the pitch. Waste water cannot go down the nearest drain either: an interceptor and a trade effluent consent are the difference between a business and a prosecution.
