How To Make $50.00 A Day Hiring Two Jobless Persons From The
Unemployment Office. This is the auto cream puff service. You
will find a small classified ad will get business for this one,
and all you do is provide a place to work, and put half the
money in the bank. Since you will be making your clients several
hundred dollars richer, it is not hard to get business! People
are selling used cars every day. Many of them could make a lot
more from the sales if they spend some money to have the car
cleaned up. In this report you will find a system for doing
this. You can hire common labor from the unemployment office to
do the work, all you have to do is find the customers. You can
do this by running ads in the paper offering the service at
whatever price the traffic will bear. The only time you have any
overhead is when you have a cash customer. Many buyers who
haggle long and hard to get a good deal on a new car lose
hundreds of dollars by not knowing how to sell their old car.
The mileage, and condition of the body - inside and out - often
can make a difference of several hundred dollars. Whether you
sell it yourself or trade it. Most experts agree that the better
the car looks, the more money it's going to be worth. A couple
of days of hard work (or one REAL hard day) and less then $25.00
in supplies can often make a difference in hundreds of dollars,
turning a below average, or average car into a "cream puff"
worth top dollar. The owner's manual should be consulted for
special cleaning requirements. Another good source of
information is the book "Car Owning Made Easier", available for
50 cents from the Public Relations Department, Ford Parts and
Services, 1 Park Lane Blvd., Dearborn, MI 48126. The trick is to
get the car looking "good as new", starting with the outside.
For openers, the cars should get a good bath, using a lot of

force lots of water down the vents in front of the windshield to
wash the salt out of that passage. The water usually runs out of
the rocker-panels - the section under the door frame - where
accumulated salts often causes rust.After the car is cleaned,
inspect the body carefully, noting all dents, rust spots and
scratches. If you have a dent that looks like an inverted
watermelon, "Car Owning Made Easier" suggests the following
remedy: Deflate a football and push it, with an air hose
attached, behind the dent. Inflate the football slowly and watch
the dent pop out. Most of the time, it's a near perfect repair.
If the dent is not in a place where this method works, gently
tapping with a rubber headed mallet will often put out a dent.
The next step is to take care of the rust. Be sure to look
around the trim of the car, and around then rocker-panels under
the door frame. If you find any rust, you should fix it
immediately even if you don't plan to sell the car. If the rust
has made a hole in the metal, you will need a patch kit (you can
get one for a few dollars) which contains its own instructions
for making the repair. (Prices in this article are average ones
for products at automotive stores. All are readily available.)
After any holes have been repaired, the body putty should be
sanded so it is smooth and blends with the rest of the body. All
rust spots should be sanded with extra fine sand paper (30
cents) until the rust is gone and the metal is shiny. Then take
touchup paint ($1.89) and lightly paint the areas you have
sanded. Be sure to mask off the surrounding areas if you use a
spray. Whether you use a spray or small brush, be sure to apply
a very thin layer. While the paint is drying, take care of the
rest of the exterior.The appearance of old tires can be improved
when painted with tire black ($1.89), a special paint that
doesn't dry out the rubber. There's paint for the whitewall
section of the tire too, cost - $1.95. Another important part of
the exterior appearance is the wheel covers. If any are missing
or badly damaged, you can get replacements from the local
junkyard for between $2 to $5 (fancy ones can cost as much as
$10.00). Metal wheels should be cleaned with a magnesium or
aluminum cleaner ($2.67) and a stiff brush. All metal parts of
the car not covered by paint should be cleaned. Metal or chrome
cleaner (69 cents) should be used to polish mirrors, side
moldings, wheel covers, bumpers, antennas, and all other
exterior metal. If there is a lot of rust on the bumpers that
won't come off with metal cleaner, steel wool will usually take
it off, but it may pit the bumpers. Finally, all glass and
plastic on the outside should be cleaned with a glass polish.
All lights should be checked and broken lenses and burned out
bulbs replaced. If the car is more than year old, it should get
a thorough cleaning with rubbing compound or similar substance
(99 cents). These special cleaners have a very mild abrasive
which removes a minute top layer of paint and restores the
original shine. After rubbing the alcohol compound, the car
should get a good waxing ($1.25). If the car is less than a year
old a good car cleaner wax which combines the cleaning and
waxing steps may be used. If the car has a vinyl top, it should
be cleaned with a vinyl cleaner ($1.35). The interior of the car
should be good and clean too. The first step is to clean all the
instruments, the dashboard, and the other non-fabric parts
inside the car. Because the covers over some of the instruments
are plastic, strong solvents should be avoided as they could
make the plastic cloudy. An ideal cleaner for the inside, "Car
Owning Made Easier" says, is one part of vinegar to 20 parts
water. Use a pipe cleaner on the hard-to-get-at places like push
buttons on the radio or the heating controls. Fabric upholstery
should get a good shampoo ($1.59) and tears should be sewn by
using regular sewing supplies. Vinyl should be brightened with
vinyl cleaner and leather should be get a saddlesoaping. If
either the vinyl or leather has nicks in it, shoe polish can
often be used to cover them up. The car, including the trunk,
should get a thorough vacuuming and carpets should be cleaned if
they are spotted and dirty. If you have owned the car for more
than two years, the foot pedals may be worn. New brake and
clutch rubber pads cost approximately $3 each, while the
accelerator pedal costs about $8, but they can increase the
value of the car by adding "cream puff" look to the inside.
Lastly, the engine should look good. Cleaning the engine can be
a simple matter with a special cleaner ($1.59) which removes the
grease, oil and other dirt that makes your engine look bad!
