You will definitely need a permit or a license to open your business.  However, the requirements will differ depending on what state you live in.  The SBA website maintains a list of business license offices to help you find the information. In addition to a business license, you will need a federal tax identification number and possibly a sales tax license, income tax withholding, and unemployment insurance tax.  Ask your state business office about the insurance requirements for your car wash business. Once you get all of the necessary permits and licenses, keep track of your renewal dates and make a copy for your business records.  You will also need to display your license in your car wash so that customers can see it. The equipment you buy will depend on the type of car wash you have decided to open and the services you offer.  Full service car wash, self-service car wash, and an automated car wash will all have different needs.  You will typically need to buy a washing system (e.g. pressure washer, conveyor, self-service equipment, mobile wash systems), chemicals (e.g. cleaning solutions, wax, spot free rinses, protectants, presoaks, etc.), dryers, blowers, vacuums, brushes, towels, compressors, pumps, and a water system (e.g. boilers, water heater, water filtration, extractor, etc.), and billing system.  If you buy the cheapest version of everything, you might be able to get started for about $2000. If you want a nicer setup, it will probably run you about $5000 or more.  The International Carwash Association has a supplier guide to help you find reputable manufacturers.  Look in trade magazines like Auto Laundry News and Modern Car Care to buy your chemicals.  It is best to buy from big manufacturers.  Make sure the distributor of your equipment is available to service your equipment when needed. Find out how they handle equipment servicing before you buy from them. Use a multifaceted approach to advertise your business that includes flyers, posters, and an online presence. The signage for your car wash should be colorful with clear messaging.  Make sure that people can easily see it from the road.  A popular way to get new customers is by distributing coupons or discounts for car washes. Also, develop relationships with other small businesses located near your car wash.  Social media is an important aspect of marketing these days. Set up a website and establish a presence on Twitter and Facebook.  Make sure any of the paper items that you have include links to your website and social media accounts. Use your website to share information about taking care of your car and other relevant tips. Schedule a visit to your local radio station to discuss your new business. Consider starting a loyalty program. This will encourage repeat customers instead of people who use the coupon one time and never return. A car wash business is very customer-focused.  Your employees should be punctual, efficient, skilled, and have excellent communication skills. As you conduct interviews, pay attention to body language and communication skills to get an idea of how the person will interact with customers and coworkers. Always check the references of potential employees as well. Have a soft opening of your car wash before you have a big grand opening.  Wait at least 30 days before you have the big event. You want to work out some of the kinks and feel comfortable with the car wash before you make a big deal. Think of a grand opening as a party and social event to generate publicity.  Invite friends, neighboring businesses, your supplies, and the media Give away free car washes and promotional items.

There are actually a number of cosmetics and makeups that can be used for kids as well as adults. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you can simply use adult makeup palettes, or you can go with a makeup designed for face painting.  For face painting, you can either use makeup sticks that are like large crayons designed for skin, or you can buy face and body painting palettes that are applied with a brush. Kids usually have more sensitive skin than adults, so look for a hypoallergenic product or something designed for sensitive skin. Try to choose makeup colors that complement the color of the costume. For instance, if the costume is pink, blue, or purple, any of those colors in makeup will look great with the outfit. If the costume is green or yellow, opt for one of those two in makeup shades. Many craft stores and costume shops sell face painting stencils that make it easy to create intricate designs with makeup. You can also create your own stencil by drawing a design on paper and cutting out the spaces you want colored in.  To use a stencil, press the stencil against the face in the area you want to draw. Dampen a sponge with water and press it into your makeup palette color of choice. Blot the sponge over top of the stencil to fill in the open spaces with makeup. You can also do a base color underneath and put the stencil over top in a darker color. Instead of using a stencil, you can also create your own fairy makeup design. To achieve this, you can use either the brush and palette makeup or the makeup stick to draw butterfly or fairy wing shapes around each eye.  Start with a darker color, such as blue or green. Begin drawing at the inner corner of one eyebrow. Draw a rounded line up and out toward the hairline. Stop when you get there, and then connect a new rounded line going around the eye. Come halfway under the eye, make a V, and continue the design down the cheek, stopping at the bottom of the ear. Now connect this with the original starting point at the inner eyebrow. Now retrace the inside of this pattern with a coordinating color. Repeat for the other eye.

Completing throws with an extreme follow-through, successfully escaping pins, and your overall grappling prowess will depend on having a strong abdomen and back. Potential core exercises include planks, sit-ups, jackknifes, and leg raises. Adding a section of grip strengthening exercises alone to a training regime might take too much time. Focus instead on consistently gripping free weights harder when you’re weight lifting.  Pull-ups also improve grip strength while working additional body muscles. Repeatedly squeezing objects might give you more wrist and forearm endurance, but the resistance will be too low to substantially increase your strength. Tight muscles are also more likely to cause later injuries. Stretching your hamstrings, quadriceps, triceps, and back can increase your range of motion. You must be able to last through a 5 minute fight, and this means sustaining rigorous activity for more than a couple breaths. Running, biking, and using an elliptical for a total of at least 75 minutes a week can help increase your stamina. It is vital to thoroughly develop these as you train, in order to be able to quickly respond to the myriad situations that can happen. Have a handful of throws you specialize in, but be familiar with commonly used throws.  Practice being able throw in all directions and modifying your throws against all types of opponents. Do not excessively favor your dominant side. Prepare for frequent falls, as tournament judo means you will often be upside down or in awkward positions. Example throws include the floating hip, shoulder throw, and single back throw.
