This is a twist on the George Haylings/Ron Ruiz new business ideas/descriptions every month, except you provide the "how to" in addition to "here's a clever biz idea". I like the subscription model, as well.

From about age 10 - 12, I subscribed to a "science project of the month" deal, and learned a lot by doing. If I didn't like the project, I skipped it. Same concept.

To me, that's the hook - turnkey, simple and doable if you walk out your door (or make a call, send an email, etc.)

The Dry part comes from not needing water - you spray on the liquid, wipe it off with one towel and polish with a second towel.
