Mobile Detailers Please Look Here!
Hey all,
What are some items you feel are REQUIRED to have when you go out and do mobile jobs? I think based on the market here where I live the most lucrative (and lowest cost) option is to do mobile jobs.
Right now for required mobile stuff I have:
ONR
16 Gal Wet/Dry Vac
Pro level spray bottles (Meg's Professional is the brand)
3 Five gallon buckets
etc.
I understand the products I need (higher end waxes, polishes, etc.), but I'm talking in the sense of equipment I need to get the job done in the first place. My list of "to get" items so far is:
Work Truck
Shampoo Vacuum (Is that the right name)
Pressure Washer...?
Buffer
Upgrading products as I go
Thanks for any / all comments.

That's one thing I alway pack, some food to because you can't leave easily and go to lunch.
Heavy Duty Extension Cords, you don't want to run any type of electric polisher on a light duty cord.
Bags or plastic containers to store your clean microfiber towels and something for dirty towels, a Heavy Duty Garbage bag will work, it will keep them clean and give you a place to place them after use.
A canopy to create shade
5-gallon buckets and Bungee Cords. You can fill the buckets with water to create 40 pound weights to hold the canopy down in windy areas and when you're done just dump the water out and stack the buckets inside themselves for smaller storage space needed.
Sandwich Board on the sidewalk to advertise to neighbors and passerbys with your name, phone and website... or on the side of your vehicle which should look spotless if you're going to have signage on it.
Extra business cards and a one-page flyer with a list of your services...

also...
2 mil plastic drop cloth
Painter's Tape
Beach Towel
Utility Stand for tall roofs is a lot safer than standing on a 5-gallon bucket or plastic crate...
Safety first...

Re: Mobile Detailers Please Look Here!
You saw my other postings...I'm definitely working on that. I got a local guy from Nationwide who seems very interested in getting me insured, so I should have that by tomorrow or Thursday.
No licensing is required in Louisville for Mobile detailing either.
