As this is a new venture it may be a good idea to start the valeting business as a part time venture .In that way you could build up customers and see how it goes then when the time was right go full time or pull out without much financial damage .Has your son experience of the car/caravan valeting business ? .

If you do intend on valeting try as someone has suggested and valet cars. I noticed that a garden centre close to me had a person advertising a clean while you shopped which I thought was a great idea because the weekend is the most popular time when these centres get visited. I an sure the garden cetres would welcome this as you would have to pays them a small fee etc etc (win win situtation). This could be done as extra income (part time) until it takes off.

He could try bus companies. I know drivers hate having to clean buses after a long drive.

This is a great idea, as someone else said its great to get your car back after a propper full valet, imagine how nice it would be to have your van back like new. I now live in Staffordshire but i'm from the black country and know a lot of people who have vans in the area.
Let us know how it goes and all the best!

There's a bloke in the Welwyn Garden City area who does this and you can't get booked with him unless you're prepared to wait weeks - especially at this time of the year and again at the start of the season.
I always derived great pleasure in making my cars and caravans gleam, but with the passing of the years it has become more and more of a chore especially where the caravan is involved.
I think it's a great idea and as long as he's good at it, the word will soon spread and he'll be inundated. Best get some cards run off and placed on the information boards of all the caravan sites and storage compounds in the area he intends to operate within.
Good luck.......

Hi
I established my valeting business, based in Central Scotland in 2001, but due to back problems I am considering selling it on.
Interested? Visit www.caravanvalet.co.uk for contact details and info on business
