I started detailing out of the back of my explorer using the customers water hose and i really dident have alot of buisness so i would not buy quanities of chemicals and am not all that familur with all that diffrent brands i use wolfgang's products for most of my aplications any information as to a good place to buy quality products in mass quanities with resonable price and i am very openminded with chemicals i do not favor brands so any opinion will help

my set up includes a 120 gal tank 2000psi honda pressure washer with and anovi pump and a generator..any suggestions on water filtration systems and any other components you guys could think off would be great :werd:

Proper spelling and punctuation would be a good start.

Anyways....



Find a local supply house that carries detailing supplies. Meguiar's has a good pro line of cleaning products.



Look into renting a deionization tank for filtration.
 
Look into water containment or capture. You might spend all that money and then get fined right away and lose it all! What you leave on the ground is going to be your responsibility.



Insurance?



Taking credit cards?



Marketing materials?



Personal opinion..if you are asking what products to buy, you are not ready to spend the money on expanding. You have not done the necessary work--business plan.



Is this your business or an extra money thing for weekends?

Sorry i am so used to my iphone that i forget how to spell. But anyways i am insured, I have a water reclaim system. and i joined my pressure washer and generator to a single 16hp briggs (for space on the trailer).Again sorry for the 3 year old texting skills.
 
off the subject but if you are growing I am happy for you, i wish you and others the best in buisness.

-A.P.D.
 
i have buisness cards and letter heads already printed im in process of expanding and need a little bit of information on large amounts of quailty products (interior cleaners and dressing,Car soap, Wheel degreaser etc...
 
there are quite a few different offerings and as mentioned megs is a great one. check out optimum, and chemical guys as well...
 
you are in NC, I suggest you checkout Majestic Solutions Inc, Majestic Solutions :: Official Site they are in Raleigh, NC off NC-64. They have a great selection of cleaners/dressings/etc. Good local supplier, good prices, better pricing if you do ALOT of business with them. I wouldn't use there compounds/waxes I am really biased towards Collinite 845 & 476s for wax. Compounds I use menzerna products. They also sell the Mytee brand of extractors, and also sell in large bulk on other chemicals.



I purchase in atleast 5 gallon quantity to help keep cost down, if you do check them out print out the coupons from there website and take it with you in to the store.

Thanks for that information. I live in Mooresville, which is right outside of Charlotte. I think it will be worth the trip to Raleigh
 
meguiars and chemical guys for bulk items, menzerna for boutique higher quality compounds/polishes (SIP leaves a better finish and removes more than OC and 83)



then fine tune and get some other boutique products if you want, but between chemical guys and meguiars, you may have everything you would possibly need
 
For soap, APC, window cleaner, and dressing check out Stoner. Great products and very economical. They will even ship the order for free if you buy the 5gallon size.
 
Congrats on expansion of your business.

You're better off using chemical guys products as they are higher quality and will produce amazing results. check out detailingsupplies.net, they sell gallons of supplies and mostly chemical guys



goodluck!
 
^^^ i second chemical guys



a few people on here are NOT big on CG products .. but i am and a few others



CG sells almost every product by the gallon .. check out their website chemicalguys.com .. look at the products .. and if you have a nice size order call them up and see if they can give you a deal
 
I believe if you are east of the mississippi Stoners will ship your order for free, no matter what (ground). Stoners is a good bulk supplier.

Just wanted to let you know Majestic does NOT carry Menzerna polishes/compounds. They have there house brand (a meguiars look a like) and the meguiars detailer line/etc.



however Majestic does offer a complete line of detailer products from microfiber to pads, buffers, compounds, waxes etc



Didn't want you to think that they were a 1 stop shop for me, and wanted to clear up any confusion that may be out there. I get Menzerna from Autogeek.net....
