What a turn around. You would think that someone who advertises would keep their vehicle in top notch condition. Great job!

This was all done by hand no rotary, DA buffer yet. That is my next purchase, got plenty of test cars to relearn what I forgot.

Did you rent a rug doctor pro?

I have been holding off. The lower priced extractors (~700.00) takes a while to regenerate steam as this can be time consuming, if you are working on a good size vehicle like a Denali...lol

True, it will work for me for the time being. Now if I get enough business to justify leaving my full time job, then I will look for a upgrade.

Getting enough business is always the tough part. You must have enough supplies to get started, and network to get your name out there. Also, mobile detailing is really tough when you have to haul all of your stuff with you.

Yeah very true, most of them been detailed at my house or parents house. I go to customers house if they don't want to drive, I just explain to them all I need is a water source. I work in the auto parts so if push comes to shove I got connections to use a bay or parents garage for a nice detail job.

Definitely tell your customers that mobile is a bit more because you are somewhat limited as most of your tools, supplies and equipment are too numerous to tag along. I have many tools, air compressor special lighting and most importantly, a climate controlled shop.

Oh I do, but I need a good income from the details to warrant me getting a shop. I'll hustle to get the job done. Main thing is to keep parents happy if they let me use their space.

For sure income at this time is real important. I have a shop when I got my home. Just really never wanted to use it for business. But with times the way they are, I cannot afford to branch out to a commercial property yet until business is more steady.
