Pump made by shurflo. It is a 12V. Not sure on the specs. You can usually find an assortment of pumps at any RV camping supply store. Cost me $99.99 ONR is my primary means of washing. I'm in NE Alabama so no water runoff laws for car washing. I do make sure my water runoff is aimed at a spot...

I got one from Lowes. Was on clearance for $49.99. If it last till the end of the year I'll be happy. Shouldn't be a problem for it to last since ONR is my primary means of cleaning.

Its basic but has everything I need to service my customers. Between the totes in the back seat of truck I keep my polisher, pads, headlight restore kit and Bissel LGM. Everything I need to make a paycheck is in my truck. From left to right, ladder, generator, vacuum, buckets and pump...

I've got a coleman powermate 1850. It runs my vacuum, electric pressure washer and my polisher with no problems. Ofcourse I use the items individually. Fairly quite and much less expensive than a honda. Been using it for two years with only a few oil changes and minor tuneups. Saw a nice...

I can take care of 90% of my customers with a few basic items. Meguiars APC, Megs window cleaner, tire gel and ONR(or a good car shampoo as needed). Ofcourse an assortment of towels, brushes, buckets and a good vacuum. My setup is truly mobile as I have a water tank and generator with me at...

I've used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works great on the steering wheel and the seats. Use it very lightly and test a hidden area first. It works like sand paper so be careful. Leather steering wheel - Shiny or not? - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online

I agree with B&B. I'm in Alabama and my minumum is $20 for fleet and repoed auction cars. I do have one regular customer with a smart car and its still $20 for the basic in and out otherwise I still get $25 and up for the basic in and out job. Don't try to be competitive with cheap pricing...

I hand out flyers in offices pretty regular. They are specific to that type of customer. My RV flyer is different once again as well as my soon to be released aircraft flyer(no pun intended). Set a dollar amount that you don't want to make less than per hour of work. My minimum per hour is...

I've done a few. Think about what you will charge, then double the price when you tell the customer. Gloves, mask and towels that are disposable are a must. If you look like a doctor the customer might not mind paying so much. $40 is my minimum on a mostly flat surface. If cracks are...

I don't have a van. I've got a quad cab dodge dakota. I use a 55 gallon low profile tank with a 12V pump. The pump provides water pressure to my electric pressure washer. Its a small unit but does a good job for me. I can usually wash three larger vehicles or 4 smaller ones before needing a...

Fleet cars and auction cars, $20 for the basic inside and out. Regular customer start at $25(corolla sized) up to $50(suburbanish size) for the basic inside/outside. I've got one customer that drives a Smart car. I only charge him $20 and he gets a real good basic job. He has a small barber...

Great write up Superior Shine. And a big thanks to B&B for his input. When I get my income tax money I'm going to buy the proper products and another Porter Cable DA. Unfortunately the war and finance department gets the rest of the money.

Will be doing single engine 4-seaters mostly. Unless someone ask me to do something bigger. I have helped my neighbor wax her wings before. Did that sound bad? That was years ago. I don't mind buying additional product. I'm just trying to save space in my truck and preserve what little...

Short of buying additional products can ONR be safetly and effectively used on small aircraft? The same question for Megs APC. And while I'm on the subject of auto based products for aircraft, what are some good polish/wax products to use with a D/A polisher for basic cleaning and...

APC 10:1 and a toothbrush. Make sure the surrounding paint is happy with APC on it.

I tried some of the OTC products and none of them compared to Meguiars APC. The smell is nice also. Many of my customers have commented they like the smell. I'd bite the bullet and order the Meg's APC.

Lint roller for clothes. The tape kind.

squared up is a really kewl ap. Really gotta have 3G to make it work. Times out if you don't. Receipts when they ask. I automatically make them for any fleet vehicle or business vehicle I do. Looks professional. Treat your customers right and they will treat you right. I regularly do...

They lock the cars up in a location a few miles away from there office. They do that to keep them hidden from the people they were repo'd from. One of the smaller independant title loan places I work for actually do store their cars in the parking lot right out fromt. I clean the cars...
