There are many threads on here that show some mobile detail set ups.

I would do a spell check on your website, there are a few errors. And I also wouldn't name the products. It just gives possible customers the chance to buy the products themselves and do their own work. That's not a huge deal really but just a thought.

May want to look into the Nomad. It's a small unit that is portable, quiet, and holds a few gallons of water.

I have never used it but know that several detailers use them.

Thanks!! :xyxthumbs:
I actually like to see what chemicals are used.

Although a simple list of brands would probably work just as well.
Knowing that the detailer is using quality products makes me more comfortable that the job is not just typical car wash with simoniz commercial wax etc.
But then again I am not a regular customer of a detailer, as I do it my self but on some occassions I do have work done by others and I DO WANT to know what they are using on my car.

I agree. I would put brand names of what product you use, just not the exact products.
