what chemicals/materials should i buy

[dctv411]

I'm just starting out my detailing business, and I have about a 550 dollar budget. I've read that it's better to start with production detail instead of trying to do show car detailing like you want to. So I want to know what chemicals, brushes, and materials I should have, like dressings, degreasers, sealants, and wash mitts and what not. I know we're not supposed to mention other brands but i'm looking at rightlook because it's alot easier to navigate the menus and what not, so if you can tell me specifics from that website it would be fantastic.

First thing I would suggest is take a step by step approach. 1st figure out what services you are looking to offer then get your product to match. With a low budget you are going to want to think cost effective. Megs has allot of different products that will help get you started and some are even available at your local auto store so that will help in shipping.

I agree with both Mike and Bobby. Definitely figure out what services you are looking to provide.

The list Bobby provided won't break the bank, and many of those products have more than one use.
