CAR WASHING
Hi. My 12 year old DD wants to earn some money. I have suggested car washing. She is going to leaflet some nearby neighbours. What do you think the going rate for this job would be? I thought £3. Would anyone pay that?

I would check what the local mechanical carwash costs, and also think about options - a SMART car is a bit different to a Range Rover!
Most hand car washes have different prices for extra large vehicles, and also charge more for extra levels of service.
I think that you will find that people will pay a touch extra simply because she is young and doing something for herself, and also saving them the trouble of driving to the carwash.
Tell her to be careful on wheel washing though - too much water and the brake discs might not work! A careful wash down, and no more.
