Car Detailing

A car wash is a common fundraiser for groups of all types. But what if you don't have access to a water source? Or what if you just want to be environmentally friendly, and save the hundreds of gallons of water used up at a car wash? Why not have a car detailing day? Your group can clean just the interiors of cars, and either charge a flat fee or ask for donations. You'll need plenty of paper towels, but reusable cloths are a better way to go if you're trying to be environmentally conscious. You can buy big boxes of them at club stores or auto supply stores. You'll also need glass cleaner, as well as cleaners and protectants for vinyl and leather. Also have plenty of trash bags on hand to throw away Hold your detailing event in a shady area, if you can, since it will be hotter inside cars than if you were washing the outsides. If there's an electrical outlet nearby, ask a group member to bring a heavy duty vacuum to use on the car's carpets and upholstery. An upholstery cleaner might also be a good idea, if you want to clean up spills and stains for an extra charge. Throw in an inexpensive air freshener, and your customers can drive away in clean, fresh cars while you earn money for your cause. And you can all feel good about having saved a lot of water!
