Hi Guys,
I joined the forum lately and would like to introduce myself. I am from Pakistan and about to start my own setup to offer exterior/interior detailing services and offer home cleaning services with steam and hot water extractor machines. Before going further, I must say that Autogeek is the most informative site I ever came across, there is a lot of knowledge available on this site and experts recommendations are very valuable. The services you guys are giving or getting there are not available here or being offered partially so I see lot potential for these services if offered professionally and with good machines.
Taking this opportunity, I need assistance from my fellow members in selecting the following machines/material:
Steam Cleaning Machine: I found couple of good machines offered by Daimer, Mytee, Dupray etc. My questions related to steam cleaners are:
....shall I buy a steam cleaner with Vac option as I am also investing in hot water extractor? also should I buy a commercial grade machine?
....what are the recommended pressure levels for exterior and engine detailing?
...a boiler based steam cleaner is good or inline heater based?
...As i will be situated far away from US, what necessary steam machine spares I should buy from day one for a continuous service.
....Am I missing any tool here to be part of my setup? I read people recommending to buy a product name "Tornado" will that be useful?
Hot Water Extractor: after lot of reading on web I came to a conclusion that
...I should look for extractor certified by carpet and rug institute (CRI)? am I correct?
...Shall I buy a machine with adjustable pressure?
...Consumable Cleaning Materials...suggest me Car Waxes, Compound, body shampoos, carpet and upholstery cleaning liquids etc, Can I get brands like Maguires, Mothers, Wolf, Pinnacle etc in bulk packing to save cost? I wanted to have a stock of 6 months to start with so kindly tell based on your experience how much stock I consider assuming a modest estimate of 20 cars/month or 120 cars
....car polishers, car washer, detailing lights, infraRed lamps, Microfiber cloths(Bulk packing), cleaning brush kits,
...Any thing I am missing above
Appreciate your replies/suggestions and wish me a good luck!
