Today I bumped into a local competitor of mine in the mobile detailing industry. The two of us are on great terms. We have a mutual agreement to not step on each others toes and pick customers from each other. That is the good part! Well in talking to him today, he had expressed an interest...

I have something that some of you may have an interest in. My business is based out of New Jersey and there is a mag that is published within my area that is sent out to about 50,000 people that are in my county and surrounding counties. The catch is that only the top 3% income residents...

Like most everyone else I am constantly trying to find better ways of doing things. With ONR I am dealing with a new animal than what I have learned with initially. If anyone can offer their advice on how they effectively clean anywhere from not too dirty wheels to very dirty wheels with ONR I...

Hey guys, I am making the switch to ONR from my current wash system where I have 275 gal water tanks in my vans. Anyone familiar with where I can find 20-50 gal water tanks at? I just need something that will fill my buckets throughout the day for ONR. Also if anyone is interested I can sell...

Currently I have two vans that I use for my biz, but with the use of ONR I can eliminate my pressure washer and 275 gal tank. I just have a generator, compressor, steamer, extractor, vac, rotary, pc, and random supplies to store now... Sounds like a lot, but I am pretty compact for what I...

As always I am looking to see what is out there and improve my skills further. Any events that would be close to NJ in particular would be best.

Currently I have been changing many things within my business so that I can have the field advantage with the competition. Although there are no true mobile detailers in the area that are successful, I don't want to be a sitting duck. Long story short, I typically offer my service descriptions...

Currently I have a 275 gallon water tank in my GMC Savana. Recently I have been really picking things apart to assist with saving gas money, and one thing was water. I am wondering what size tanks people are using, and also does anyone have a tank that they are using a garden hose off of? I...

In talking the other day I again came back to thinking to myself has anyone created a smart idea to drape something off of a roof of a van in order to cast shade below for the cars being worked on? I have a GMC savana and I am not one to store a tent in my van to add to the cluter and wieght...

I recently ordered a VX-5000 commercial vapor system, and if your looking for a great deal this is it. I spent a couple weeks looking here and there, but during a few hours I really started to look at what is available and how much. This unit with a stand was picked up for $895. From doing...

:wallHow does everyone feel about billing customers on an hourly rate vs. a fixed package rate based upon size of the vehicle? Has anyone started out charging through packages and now made the switch to hourly? I have been considering the pros and cons, but I'm reluctant to go for hourly...

:wallI have been debating over the past couple weeks with myself and others as to whether it would be better to charge by the hour to detail or stick to packaged prices that I have now that are set by type and size. My main fear is that I will either drive people away by saying I charge by the...

As most of you are seeing and feeling a tighter budget, I find the need to brainstorm. Customers are not excited in hearing about price hikes, but they are needed. I am wondering how some of you are dealing with these sky rocketing costs. Currently I am in the process of reviewing all of my...
