I have been washing cars for about 8 years. When I first started, I would use some dishwashing soap, a bucket, a hose, and a sponge that I use to clean the dishes when my mom made me. After awhile and as my mom got nicer cars, I started to get more serious. Every so often, I would go to the local auto parts store and get some car wash stuff. The first time I got a buffer, my dad and I went and bought a buffer, an air compressor, and some wax. I had no clue what I was doing and my mom was so nervous that I was going to mess up the paint on her car. At the end, I was actally pretty happy with the results but, by no means was it great! That car is long gone and now the new car in the family is worth a lot more money and it is only a year old with swirl marks and alot of minor defects in the paint (rock chips, rust spots, etc.) I want to do a full detail on my mom's mustang for her just because I enjoy that line of work. My question is, how much will I need to spend to get a complete set of supplies that will have the paint looking better than the day it left the showroom floor. A list of supplies for the interior and exterior would also be greatly appreciated. If possible I would like to stay under about a $3000 budget as if the results are good, I would possibly like to start detailing as a small little business for some cash as many people in my area (San Diego) will pay good money for these services. Thanks guys for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated!
