Hows it going everyone. Trying to start up a mobile detailing business while going to school at MSU. Love the saite, it has been super helpful. Currently just trying to build a customer base. I do have one question. With there being so many brands out their for detailers to buy, what brand should I use to start out? I am talking about everything from wheel cleaner to wax, car wash, glass cleaner.... everything. I know i am asking for alot but I would just like to see what you guys/ girls use. thanks in advance
 
Welcome! :welcome: There are more opinions than products so asking what is best to start with is a REALLY loaded question! The trouble is, most all of the products out there work, depending upon how well you follow the instructions and how well you have learned the basics. My personal preference is Meguiars, because they cover pretty much all the bases for doing a car from the tires on up. However I still use stuff from other manufacturers as well. You'll have to try different products and just see what works for YOU. Trial and error can get expensive, but there is no subsitute for experience. I try to shorten the learning curve by reading up on this site, but it still comes down to what products you feel the most comfortable with.

Good luck with your business!
 
thank you so much for your quick response. I have used some mequiers products but some mothers products as well.
