Hello everyone! I currently reside in sunny San Diego, CA.
I have been detailing for about 5 years working with another detail company to pay for college. Due to problems in the company (i.e. loss of interest on the owner’s part) I am finally beginning to start my own detail company to pay for my last two years of college. It’s not going to be the greatest rig set up ever, but it will definitely do for now. As the fabrication goes on I will post picture on the set up.
I currently have a 1996 Toyota V6 Camry with a new engine and transmission and I will have one of the few detail cars (everyone has trucks/vans) rigged for just detailing. My buddy and I have fabrication/welding skills so we will put a 50 gallon tank on the back where the passenger seats used to be and weld a cage so it goes nowhere. I know that I cannot just do all of my cars with ONR so I will have the 50 gallon tank there for those really bad cars. If anyone wants to share their rinseless set up or have any feedback that will be appreciated. I will also be using the double bucket method for peace of mind.

Thank you for your time and I’m glad I became a member (finally).

I'm over here in Tennessee, but doesn't CA have some crazy water reclaimation regulations?

Hello Ted,
Yes California has some strict restrictions. I have to use reclamation units which are a pain to set up. It’s kind of funny because we are technically out of drought season since it has rained considerably more. Even though this is the case the people have gotten used to seeing the water recovery equipment and frown on most mobile detailers when the water runs off the driveways. This is one of the main reasons I have switched to ONR and I only use the pressure washer to rinse off the cars and clean the wheels.
A lot of people have been on a “going green” craze over here in Cali too.

I like onr, but I haven't used it as a rinsless was yet.

Water reclamation sounds like a pain. But I undertand it for CA and some states.

But the whole "Green Movement" upsets me, personally. I try to use only products that won't destroy the environment...but the greenies take it to far and make it a gov. issue.

There is a lot of really good info on here and a lot of good threads about mobile detailing on AG. Some really awesome ideas here.:props:

Yes I totally agree with you. I dont really need the reclamation unit unless I am near a public road. I really dont go crazy with my water since I have to pay for the good RO/DI water.
And yes I love this website I just never had the time to create an account. Now that I have more free time I am afraid I am going to spend most of it here :)

California is a good place to detail. To bad all this June gloom makes people think it is going to rain.
I think the Camry rig is going to be awesome when its done. I am in college so I don't have enough money to buy a truck. I will be posting pictures of the progress soon! Getting some heavy duty struts for the rear put in today.
