[QUOTE="Mrstangerbanger, post: 1045134, member: 14445"] I make anywhere from 5 to 6 thousand a month detailing but Im the best in my area and have the cars to prove it .. I started my business from the ground up and I only do mobile because having a shop is overhead and overhead is what kills new business .. I would only start detailing if you know what your doing and can detail a black car to swirl free perfection. Also make sure you can perfect interior and exterior not just one .. Its also going to cost to have the best buffer and extractor and steam cleaners and pressure washer and compressor and products .. It around 5 grand to get started with the best equipment .. You need a Makita rotary polisher Flex or cyclo orbital ( porter cable if you cant buy those) must have for dark color cars our your a dip shit lol lol polishing / cut pads for both buffers need a good leveling polish / wax need a good vacuum wet/dry need a good extractor ( around 1000 used ) need a good compressor need a good steam cleaner for interior dont need but helps electric pressure washer for wheel wells and engine compartments u need lots of products u need a truck or van u need business card u need business license u need to know what the **** your doing business you wont last long if you dont U will need lots more but you can buy shit as you go ... there is great money in detailing if you are the best and you should also know paint very well and know how to color sand and fix shit .. good luck and remember its super hard work and you need to know how to run a business and deal with customers and have great customer service before everything else You need to find out what people charge around your area also good luck .. also Im in chico ca its not wealthy and there are not a lot of nice cars .. No matter what there is money in this [/QUOTE]
