Sidegig General
We all know one of the best ways to build wealth is to have multiple sources of income.
I'm starting a sidegig polishing cars out of my garage for $200-$300 a piece
I also work at a bar at night on the weekends, which brings in $200 at least a night.
Post your sidegigs or sidegig ideas. no dicksucking pls.
People pay you 2-$300 for a car polishing? That's an insane chunk of change for something that many people get for $10.00 at a local car wash.

He's not talking about a little spray and wax polish, he's probably doing a very good and extravagant job to be able to charge $300. He probably spends 10 hours on each car.

^this guy is right
A proper cut and polish with prep work takes 6-10 hours depending on the car (paint condition, size etc)
Wait tables 2-3x/week. Brings in ~50-100/night, depending on how busy we are. Sometimes up to 200.
It's amazing how far a couple shifts on the side can get you.

Nice.
I post my stuff on detailing here from time to time. I also detail cars for $200 - $300.
Way to go man. The cash is great.
You do interiors too?

Hey! Great to see another detailer on this board
I don't do interiors, I just specialize in paint correction. I'm lucky to live in an area that's fairly wealthy with not much competition, so I'm able to charge a bit more for a quality cut and polish job.

cool. same.
what's your cutting method?
I sell my old stuff on eBay.
>>1013086
I do online classes and papers but the competition is getting pretty intense. Despite that I manage to keep my modest client base and only lose a bit of business every year as my good clients slowly graduate.

Depends on the condition of the paint
For most jobs I use a RUPES 21, compound, polish and wax, that's my bread and butter. What most people ask for.
For more serious jobs I'll do an aggressive cut with compound and a mf cutting pad, followed by polish, ultra fine jeweller's polish, sealant and finally high quality carnauba wax.
Photography (nights, weekends). Invoice at around $100/hr factoring in all of my travel, editing etc time and costs. Going to move towards weddings and aim for a wedding each fortnight -
>Can charge $4k in my city for shooting a wedding
>Outsourcing the retouching and not shooting the entire reception means it's about 10~ hours of work for $2k+ NET if all goes to plan

I translate indie games and now I´m writing books to try my luck at self publishing.
Translating is nice. It´s hard to get work, but the little I get is something like 3 weeks of work, two hours a day, for a thousand bucks. Not bad at all for something I used to do for free in fan translation groups.
No info on the books yet, but hopefully it´ll build up some passive income.
I´m considering making and selling soap and candles and that kind of shit. Girlfriend likes to do it, so in the worst case we´re doing something together and enjoying the products ourselves.

Do you wet sand with 1500, 2000 grit?
>>1013509
The only time I find myself using something as aggressive as 1500 is when the paint is extremely hard and there are some serious paint defects. Most of the time 2000 is more than enough.
