When Zykiah Ditchett received a car valeting kit for Christmas, the teenager had no idea it would kickstart his dream career.
The teenager was gifted the present following his OCD diagnosis at the age of 13. The discovery came after concerns were raised over his “constant” cleaning at home.
In a desperate bid to get him outside more, his mum, Jo Ditchett, purchased him the car cleaning kit and Zykiah immediately got to work.

The youngster would use his kit to clean relatives’ and neighbours’ cars, charging £5 every time. But, keen for a bigger client base, he asked his mum to appeal for more customers online.
His mum Jo put a post in a local Facebook group asking anyone who wanted their car cleaning to leave their vehicle outside the family home.
Just hours after the post went live, cars lined the quiet Salford street as dozens turned out to show their support.
And it didn’t take long for a local businessman to offer Zykiah a permanent base to work from. Jason from Coal and Cotton Gin Bar said he was “really impressed” by the youngster’s work and offered him a space in their car park to clean cars at the weekend.
As the word spread, Zykiah, now aged 16, quickly found himself cleaning for huge stars including Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury and Manchester United's Scott McTominay.
The teen then decided to set up his own website, calling his company Dirt2Clean.
Business continues to boom and Zykiah says customers travel from as far as Edinburgh to have their cars cleaned by him.
Last week, he finally moved from his car park and opened up his very first unit in Swinton – eventually hoping to launch units all across the country.
