Starting a mobile details business on a small budget and with little money

Today’s topic is; Starting a mobile details business with little money. It’s possible? Well it sure is and if you’re careful you might be surprised how inexpensive it is too. So you say you want to start an auto detail business, but you don’t have a lot of money, right?

Well, this is what I would do if I were you. You need to mount your gear on a skid first, so you can get it in and out of the back of a truck or trailer very easily. I’d say you should get a pressure washer; Honda, 5.0 Hp from Home Depot (Excel brand pressure washer). You can finance it there if you need it too; about $ 450.00 and then you have to go out of town to a rural agricultural area and buy a 100 gallon plastic pan polypropylene water tank with straps.

Then mount it to a sheet of plywood with two iron I-beam skids with a couple of ribs between them, weld for $ 100. You may be able to find a few scraps to do all of this. To see photos. Make sure the pressure washer has a pump that looks like a Cat pump or general pump, look them up online to find out what you are looking for.

The clear plastic water tank can be round or square; the round ones will cause the vehicle to rock back and forth when accelerating or braking. Take a look at the competitors and maybe snap a digital photo or two as this might give you an idea about the montage. Also see truck stands at www.DeTrailers.com. Great website. Can you make one or buy theirs?

You will need 75 feet of high pressure hose, so you will need to purchase an additional 50 foot section. Your next purchase should be a portable generator after you make some money and a lightweight Milwaukee Power Buffer counter swivel unit and a shop vacuum. Well, I hope the tip of the day helps you in every way in your quest to be the best.
