My mobile detailing setup - Visual Pro Detailing

I've had a couple of private messages requesting I post my detailing trailer and setup, so I thought you guys might enjoy. Things look a bit sloppy in the pics, but I had just come back from a detail.

If anyone has any questions about how much each part costs, or anything to do with the business side of it please let me know.

If you want to see pics of the trailer attached to my truck which is wrapped too, go to Visual Pro Detailing - Home and scroll down on the main page.

Here we go. Sorry for the crappy pics but they are from my cell phone. My rig is a 6x12 enclosed trailer.

Outside of trailer.



Full Interior pic. The sun was directly in my camera, sorry for the gloss.



Generator and air compressor. That is a power extension above the generator.



Pretty self explanatory. The grey tote behind the detail bag holds my extractor hose and some misc. tools.



Product, towel, equipment, and pad totes. Looks more disorganized than it is. Having everything at eye level is great. I can stand up straight in this trailer and I am 6'1.



Inside the large, black tote. This holds extension cords, my rotary, DrivePur machine and chemicals, and bulk detailing chemicals.



Where is the water tank you say? I have a 65 gallon tank in the back of my Ram 1500.

This set up is a beast but it is great to work in. I have plenty of room and it is easy to find things and move around. Plus great advertisement.

Very professional setup!

The site could use an update but a good start.

I created the site myself from a template. Early next year I am doing to be pulling the trigger on a professionally designed website.

I feel like my website it lacking significantly, but in reality I am still way ahead of my local competition.

Thanks for the critique though, I always look forward to hearing helpful thoughts.
