I have one of the worst cars for detailing a Saturn Sky, one day I do plan to get a truck. But for the time being I'm suck with what I got. I have been trying to stream line my process as much as possible. So far:
ditched the 3 gallon bucks I used for rinseless, and went with a Kwazar 1 liter sprayers for waterless. I know waterless isn't always idea, but I pre-soak and use a load of towels if needed.
If a car's really bad I break out the bucket still.
ditched my big unruly shop-vac and bought a Metro Vac & Blo (the small one) with the carrying case today.
Keep all my chemicals and brushes in an Adam's large detailing bag. I have about 14 16oz bottles, a bunch of MF's and all my Wheel Woolies + other brushes.
I live in So Cal and it's getting hot and only will get hotter. I don't have the trunk space for any sort of canopy I've been able to find. I looked just to look but didn't really expect to find anything that would work. Anyways, I figured hay I could get one of those outdoor patio umbrellas with a metal base. I know a canopy is better in every way, but I have so little space + even a medium umbrella should work better than nothing.
According to the specs I found I have 43" x 7" to work with at the widest point. There's also another 22" x 8" right below the widest point where I could put a base. (maybe, I think lol)
I know I'm really pushing it here, but I just invested in a bunch of new chemicals and dropped 3 bills on a vacuum and 50' 12/3 extension cord. I want to get my detailing business off the ground offically. And hopefully be able to save up and get a truck before the years over. I could only detail early in the morning or towards the evening but I'd like to be able to not have to work around the sun. I know there isn't any way in hell a 9 foot umbrella, even collapsed will fit. I found a few 6' where the size is just a few inches above 43" long. If anyone here details with an umbrella I'M ALL EARS.
here's a drawing of my trunk space
