Specialize in washing motorcycles and RVs — vehicles that are awkward to take through an automatic car wash. Charge $30-50 for motorcycles and $100-200 for RVs. Owners of these vehicles are passionate about them and will pay for proper hand washing. Motorcycle groups and RV parks are tight communities — do a great job and referrals pour in. Seasonal but high ticket.
🚀 First Step
Post in local motorcycle and RV Facebook groups offering hand wash service with photos, then visit a nearby RV park and leave flyers at the office.
  • Join local motorcycle and RV Facebook groups — that is where owners hang out and recommend services
  • Use only microfiber towels — swirl marks on a Harley's paint will cost you your reputation
  • Charge a premium for RVs — they take 2-3 hours and involve climbing a ladder, so price accordingly
