Hey guys I'm looking for add-ons to sell to my customers for my mobile car detailing business. We serve high-end clientele in Toronto. I want a product offering or high-margin service offering. I'm not looking for anything pertaining to detailing (ie. paint correct). I've considered: -...

Hey guys Anybody use 10'x10' tent in rain? I know it doesn't cover the full length of the car but does it help? I have a mobile detailing business and not sure if this will help us reduce reschedules. Right now, when it rains we have no choice but to reschedule.

You need to incorporate your business to remove personal liability. That's how business can operate for the long term. There's all types of insurance like general liability, garage insurance (specific insurance that insures the car while it's under the watch of a mechanic/detailer), and WSIB...

You can detail a car anywhere if you have access to electricity and water. A business is not only about detailing though. A business is a business. You need to get customers first. Have you tried posting on your local Craigslist or classifieds? A detailing business can be started with just 2...

They want it because they keep their stuff clean. They go to dry cleaning, have a housekeeper, get their car cleaned. Their wife goes to the spa, they eat at nice restaurants. Try it!

Yea for sure. Detailing in general is a luxury service. You can try offering detailing, add head light restoration, tinting, oil changes, tire swaps, etc. to try to increase the average client value but your customers wont react the same. They are less likely to repeat and they are more likely...

This is an issue of service to target market fit. You need to find wealthier clients or lower your service level. There's very little explaining to do. If a person who has never heard of detailing of $150+ prices to get their car cleaned, you are wasting your time educating them. I would not...

Hey guys Thanks so much for the detailed responses. I ended up order Generac one at 2500PSI. I wanted a Karcher but I can't find one with low PSI. Lowest is 3000. My staff use this so I want to make it idiot proof (myself potentially being one too). Will look into the TechnoMech - the heater is...

Hey guys Which powerwasher do you recommend? Features required: Quiet (relatively) Commercial use (everyday) Ideal feature required: Compact. Are the Honda ones the benchmark workhorse?

Hi I need to Shureflo pump (running 12VDC) to pump water from water tank to pressure washer. How do I power the Shureflo though? Can I use a cigarette lighter to power the pump? We have a Mercedes Sprinter. :buffing: Thanks

I noticed the Mytee Lite has the solution tube inside the vacuum tube. This doesn't help. The previous Kent C4 extractor worked really well as pre-vac and extractor.

Hi guys I'm looking to get a MYTEE-LITE™ 8070 or similar extractor. Could I use machines like this as a vacuum though? We are vacuuming small pebbles, wrappers, small leaves, etc out of customer cars. We prefer not to use shop-vac for pre-vac and have a all-in-one tool. We previously used...

Hey guys I got a generator for mobile detailing but a bit confused about which plug to use. I'm running a MetroVac blower (19A, 120V, 2280 watts). Should I be using the 4 prong twist lock outlet or the regular 3 prong outlet? I'm confused because I can't find a 4-prong-to-3-prong adapter...

Ah okay thanks for the advice guys.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Btw, if I buy a pump, does it need to be on-demand pump? I actually found a continous flow pump rated at 8GPM.

Hi all I have a 200gallon water tank in my van but need a pump to feed into my pressure washer (Flow Rate: 2.8 gpm/10.6 Lpm). What pump would you guys suggest? I need something commercial grade since this is for a business. I have a power generator in the van so electricity is not an issue...
