Hey Autogeek,

My name is Joshua and I have started a mobile detailing business here in Columbus, Ohio. This for now is just a part time job, but hopefully this will be my career. I started out last summer detailing cars in my parents neighborhood and I am looking to expand and grow this year.

I purchased this F150 in August brand new, needed a new car and Ford had great deals on trucks due to gas prices. Its a 08 F150 XL, V6 engine. Personally I love the V6's, and this is the last year that Ford will use them on the F150.

My pressure washer setup was installed couple weeks ago, but it is currently winterized and I am not using it until the spring. The tank is a 50 gallon tank, and I have a hose attached so if I am on a job and run out I can just attach their garden hose and fill it back up. It also has a unit inside the tank to not allow water to overflow when I fill it up. I took some pics of just washes on my truck and my Dad's 328i.

My truck is having new Saleen Wheels installed hopefully soon, and my company logo is going to be placed on the back window once completed. You will see my Makita rotary, I just picked that up recently, have not learned how to use it though. Looking at going to a training seminar or looking for someone locally to help show me the rotary way. Thanks for viewing. Happy detailing!!
 
Great Set Up Josh!
Maybe I'll see you on the streets of Columbus Ohio. I'm also mobile. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss ideas. I'd be glad to help you if I can. There are a billion cars here,we can't even put a dent in them. Good Luck in business.

Thanks for the kind words Richard. So how long have you been mobile here in Columbus? My girlfriend and I are entertaining the idea of moving to the Carolina's or Florida which is why I am pushing the mobile setup. How is your business during the winter months? Luckily I have OSU as my full time job to get me through these slow winter months. My company is called Reflective Image of Westerville. Thats where my parents lived, alot of nice neighborhoods are in this area. I worked for Liquid Luster for several months and realized I could be making more money doing it myself. I am definately interested in talking to you and coming up with marketing ideas and whatever else to help us become more successful! You are right, alot of people need this type of service here in Columbus. I am amazed with how alot of people think taking their cars through the touchless and wiping it down is detailing. I think I have seen your work on Autopia. You do great work! I will definately be in touch!
