You will be fine. TSR is very user friendly. It's my favorite now!

In my area dealerships are net30. $90 for full details with buffing... $15 for washes... Honestly, a service writers are the way to go...once they see your work, maybe you can get employees as regulars.

Doug, what was your process on the wheels?

I just wanted legible and easy.

The whole thing installed cost $300. I wasn't ready for a full wrap job. Water tank/generator/pressure washer coming soon!

With the gas generators...I've never owned one. 1. Do you leave them in vehicle when in need of use or do you pull them in and out. 2. It supplies enough power to use an extractor, vacuum, buffer, pressure washer etc? Thanks a bunch in advance. I have a 2012 ford transit, and I've mainly...

If I quit fridays completely I'll make sure to take advantage of their cobra policy. I pay $393/mo for wifey and I, and they are only allowed to increase it by 5%. But that's a great idea to factor into my budget. VP, thanks for the response and understanding. Sounds like you are achieving your...

Wow, thanks for taking time to read this. The posts were encouraging yet also real. I will put together a solid business plan with what I need and need to do. I'm very driven, and a, sick of being a 28yr old server with a degree. Thank you so much for the solid tips and advice. I will try and...

So I run a part-time mobile detailing company. I have a 2012 ford transit that I use. ($300/mo) I work 30hrs a week at a tgi fridays, I, 28 and married. Trying for a kid, but not successful yet. I detail 2-3 days a week. I have a good friend that has a window tint shop, I up charge tint off...

Try not to compare yourself TOO much to "Car Wash". People typically understand that a Detail will be more thurough, and if you're mobile, then they are paying for convenience.

Detail shops in my area (The Last Detail, Final Touch) for full details charge anywhere from $225-$350. You can look at my site for base estimates Finished Detailing I look to get $40/hr. I use a 2012 Ford Transit.

Learn clear bra's. I also have a remote start and a window tint guy that I can profit from as well.

I believe Pro is used out here in Chicago ALOT in the body shops, I always just assumed it was cheap.... Also a brand called crystal image is used everywhere here too... Anyone heard of it? Mike?

I love doing this as a career choice. Work smart and buy the right tools to make the work less labor intensive. Rolling chair, crawlers, extenders for vacuum. I worked an office job for 2 years, and all the sitting left me sore! I couldn't stand the whole atmosphere in general. Detailing...

Awesome write-up... You just made me look forward to this Monday. (my marketing day, not just a normal crappy Monday)

My brother is a PDR guy. He's currently in CO fixing up dealer cars from a NASTY hail storm. $1500/car and you try for 2 cars a day. CO has had enough work for 2 months. 13 hour days. Most also pay "headliner guys" to take down and put back up headliners, roughly $40-$50/car. NOW It's about 2k...

OK, so I've ordered my Stoner Tarminator. $11 shipped. =) Again I will post before and after pictures. Also I have 3M Adhesive remover, and have not been very happy with it.
