Car Washing Job         

Car washing is a very common service, for teens 14 year olds or 15 year old, if you'd like to do this job, you can wash peoples cars for making money.

I think you can charge $15 for a small car, $20 for an average/large sedan, but $25 for trucks and SUV's. if you're also detailing (interior - vacuum, windows, clean the trim, exterior - tire shine, waxing, etc.) if you are doing that you could charge extra, if you're not reading for that, that could be a goal in the future. I started detailing/ washing cars when I was younger, and now I'm almost 19 and I'm the best detailer in my area!

How to wash a car? Park the car out of direct sunlight. This prevents premature drying which can leave splotches on the paint. Set everything you will need near the car. Soak a large wash mitt or sponge in the soapy water, being certain to wash out any dirt in it, and begin applying it to the car. After one section is washed, rinse it with the hose before moving on. You don't want the soap to dry on the paint and stain it. As you progress, keep the entire car wet, as this will prevent droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water-spots. You want to be able to dry the car with towels before it air-dries. Scrub the lower body and the wheels last, as these are the dirtiest, grittiest parts. It's a good idea to use a seperate wash mitt or sponge on the bottom six or so inches of the car's body, as this can get especially gritty. Use a long, skinny wheel-brush for cleaning the openings of the wheels, and steel-wool soap-pads on the tires, one or two per tire; remove all that dull-brown oxidized rubber.

Be aware of rust/paint damage, as high pressure can lift paint, magnetic signs and bumper stickers from your car. Pay attention to closing signs. Lights go out and it's hard to wash in the dark. Some electric equipment may also be shut off.
