Boat Valet

[James Campbell]

Hi Guy's

Im a newby so thought id introduce my self first, im James Campbell 26 and live in Bideford North Devon, I currently own and run a sucesfull carpet and upholstery cleaning business called Pile Profile http://www.pileprofile.co.uk and here is my question, my real passion is boats small or large but mainly with sails, although I do not own a boat I have a fair knowledge but mainly of the larger style like RFA, RN, cruise ship's etc but I want to expand into the valet of boats and am after any advice on what solutions I should be using for this service, im currently looking at using A Glaze Marine but would welcome any other advice mainly for the interior and links if you have them

Thanks in advance
James

You surely didn't sign up to the forum just to post a link to a carpet cleaning company in the West Country did you?

Shame on you . . . go out and buy a small yacht immediately, then come back and talk to us.

I suspect you'll find most yotties like cleaning their own boats for some peverse reason. My wife finds it totally at odds when she askes for help at home.

I've found Wessex Chemicals in Poole, Devon really good with cleaning products they sell both wholesale and retail.

IMHO you'll find more work from power boat owners than yotties - but good luck with the venture.
