Default My mobile detailing setup.......

Here is my current setup that I've used day in and day for over a year now. It took a lot of trial and error to get to an efficient set up and process. You will notice the lack of a generator. I simply do not need one. I have yet to find a place that I go to where I can't find power. They are loud, bulky, heavy, and use fuel. I may consider a small Honda like the eu1500 but it's 800.00. This has worked fine and made me a good living. I estimate to have only 1500.00 invested.

The decking is 1X6 pressure treated with 1.5 inch stainless drywall screws. Was going to be temporary but now has held up for a year+.

The tank came from Tractor Supply. It was intended as 12volt insecticide sprayer. I have to cut off some metal on the front. If I would do anything over it would be the tank. I would get a rectangular one that is about 90 gallons and takes up the same space.

This tool box was given to me from my brother. Been a lif saver since it's lockable.

Future plans include more shelving back here for my polishers and chemicals. I might add a hose reel in the summer but I have lived without one for a long time now.

Thanks.

Nice!

Now if you could just give us advice on what products are good for what :P

Nice setup.

JD, due to his posts having useful info instead of useless babbling, I think he's exempt from the **** posting...although it certainly wouldn't hurt. You know, your detailing service would take off if you paid some slutty high school girls to do the job for you

Hrm, your posts are also advertising for the recipients. You like to polish racecars, can you not damage sponsor decals?
