Well it started off with driving my clients cars back and forth to the house wasting time for the "To and From Commutes". I said the heck with this and started thinking on the cost saving side and with help from AG and Justin, Nick?, and a few others I'm ready !
1. Very First thought was less fuel burned means more money saved. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a Karcher 1400psi PW for $84 + tax. I can't say enough about this thing it just sits outside all the time and takes the biggest beating from me throwing the wand down, to running on it's side from pulling on the hose trying get some slack. It's worth the money plus a 1 year warranty.
2. I Decided to visit tractor supply and check on some tanks. I went with the 65 gallon based on few talks with fellow detailers and from the amount I would do I wouldn't pass 3 washes and 65 would be plenty. $140 + tax.
3. I kept going back and forth on a generator vs. inverter and believe I'm glad I went ahead with the generator. I had to have atleast 13 amps and 1500 watts for all my utilities. This generator normally sells for $399 @ Home Depot but I was fortunate to find a fleet washing individual that was selling out and had his for sale on atlanta.craigslist.org for $250 This thing is a jewel and really quiet for it's power.
4. Well this was the biggest concern I had for this setup... How was I going to secure this stuff? Well I thought about it and all I could think was bungey cords for the product totes and ratchet straps for the heavy stuff... Well This is what I came up with. $5 a piece from the local bulk pallet dealer. I had to trim one to make the fit in the back of the truck. One thing is with all the holes the strapping capability is endless
5. Well I thought I would toss this in for anyone who has thought about filtering their water. Wal-Mart has a RV Water filter with a no - kink hose that comes along with it. This particular filter cost $17 + tax and filters out Aluminum, Bacteria, Bad Taste, Cadmium, Chlorine, Fungus, Heavy Metals, Hydrogen Sulfide, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Mold, Odor, Turbidity, Sediment !!! I know some don't care but I'm looking for no possible water spotting if I don't have to being that I detail in broad day light.
Just thought I would share my small journey to satisfying my mobile detailing opportunity. I hope everyone can have some luck with this if your looking to get into this hobby, passion, job, sickness
Thanks for looking,
Eric:awesome:
. I would love to help anyone because detailing is to me, like fishing and hunting are to others "FUN". Can't wait till the rain stops I got like 10 washes and 2 exterior details to do, but wait I gotta work 48 hours next week
