I always like to see how people organize for mobile work, so I thought I would share mine. I work out of a MazdaSpeed 3 so no water tank or generator. I'm limited to using customer water and electric. This isn't a problem most of the time. I also have a limited menu available for mobile work. If some one needs a package that will push 6 hours I insist on a drop off. I have some equipment that I just cant fit, air compressor, extractor, etc. My website has my packages divided into mobile and drop off work.

I start with these 4 stackable tubs from WalMart. Full of towels, micros, pads, brushes, and various polish/waxes.

Next in goes this tote with my PW, 2 25' hoses, wash soap, degreaser, and wheel brushes.

In with my two buckets with grit guards and wheel dollies

Behind the passenger seat. Flex and Cyclo polishers. 3 25' electric cords. One of my 2 chemical spray bottle carry totes.

Next step is flexible. 2nd chemical tote, creeper, vacuum, kneeling pad,, Air Force blower, boars hair brush on extending pole, step stool.

Sometimes I put in my PDR tools if I anticipate some dent removal.

Some jobs I throw my VX 5000 in the passenger seat.

I have set up and breakdown at about 10-15 minutes each. Kind of like playing Tetris. Hopefully a Ford Connect Van is in my future.

I may be slow, but I do poor work.
 
Man youre going to be able to bring the kitchen sink if you get that connect! lol Cool setup
 
You got a lot of good tools in that small space. Main thing is your steamer. Pretty cool to see you do PDR too. Hopefully we get more photos as I want to redo my van setup to truly maximize the space usage. What kind of pressure washer and foam cannon are you running?
 
Looks sweet!! Organization is key with a smaller car, and you've got that down. Nice work!
 
Looks awesome! One thing to consider for lack of water is keeping a bucket of ONR with a gamma seal lid.
 
Way cool! That stool alone is worth its weight in gold!! Such a back saver and very smart for your mobile business!!

Lookin good!!

The PW is a Karcher, foam cannon is the one Auto Geek sells. I fill it with Dawn soap for pre soaking. Always gets lots of looks when I'm mobile.

I do have this. I have used it few times. I don't like having to explain it every time. I use it for my own vehicle because of the heat in FL. But the masses still can't seem to wrap their heads around it. This is a video I did on the ONR process.

I guess I've just never had this problem. I've done over 1,000 rinseless washes thus far in my career, and have never had a real objection to it. Once in a great while I will have a customer ask:

Them: "How are you going to wash it without water?"

Me: "I'm going to use rinseless wash. I will wash the entire car using only 3 gallons of water."

Them: "Oh ok, let me know when you are all done or if you need a bottle of water or something."

Me: "Will do, thank you!"
