I'm getting more and more into this detailing thing and been looking at homebrew projects for detailing products, mainly waxes at this stage.

 

I'd love to design a product and take it to market, not to make millions (although that'd be fantastic!) but as a personal challenge that'll offer so much in terms of research & development, package and labelling design, marketing, sales, etc.

 

There are many folks doing this sort of homebrew stuff but their products rarely make it to market, maybe because that's not their aim or intention.  However, I think there's such a wealth of education to be had by doing this as these transferable skills could be used to market other products, maybe as spin offs or completely different ones.

 

I'm looking for a person or persons to form a team to join me in this adventure as two, or more, heads are better than one and everyone has different qualities and skills they can bring to the table.  The individual/s don't need any experience in this type of thing as, to be fair, I haven't, so I don't want to be seen as trying to poach ideas, jumping on someone else's bandwagon or looking to benefit from the hard work of others.  This will be a project from ground zero!

 

I'd like it to be a fun project, albeit one that'll go the distance, so I'm looking for someone who's enthusiastic and committed above all else.  Clearly, there'll be a need to invest money for products and equipment but I'd hope this wouldn't be ridiculous, with all parties contributing equally as well as equal share of any money made.

 

Waxes seem an obvious starting point or product but I'd be interested to hear thoughts or ideas on ANY other detailing products.

 

If you like a challenge and this sort of thing inspires you then drop me a PM.  Any other general comments, ideas or guidance will be gratefully received.

 

Regards

Do it!

 

There is always room for a new product with passion, so long as it works I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask on product brewing, unless you make a robotic car cleaner. I care more about web applications than clay bars; although I do own three somehow :S, so I'm happy to help in non-product ways. If only to ask why a few times.

 

Happy to help too, either as briskoda a platform to launch/sell/test stuff on or more, or with some of the non-product brewing tech stuff. 

 

From ground zero though, no-one invents new stuff now, it's all recirculated in some form. Copying is bad and flattering, but being savvy and applying lessons others learnt is smart. Google wasn't the first search engine! 

 

I say that from a technical perspective only, and do refer back to new product with passion. The biggest challenge is and loosely borrowing from art of war, you're fighting a market that is both uphill ( established ) and has their back to the wall (wall is psyhological ~ market share). In other words, a great tproduct alone won't win the battle. If you truly want to break from kitchen, garage, too small unit and beyond, you'll need a lot of passion and agility to out do others weaknesses, react, adapt, repeat. Blind passion alone can be expensive! I sense that's not a problem here as you've already tackled it

 

Hope that helps in some way.

It does indeed help Colin, thanks for your reply! The use of BriSkoda as a platform is much appreciated and given it's one of the best forums out there with it's busy traffic it'd be ideal, thanks!

 

It doesn't have to be a wax, in fact it'd be better if not a wax given this type of product is most popular with home brewing.

 

Whilst this is an increasingly popular past time and there are many at it I'm a firm believer it's possible, even in a busy market place.  If the product is good, easy to use, effective and priced correctly then there's money in it as well as the fun along the way and sense of achievement. The question is not why but why not?
