I'm in the planning stages of starting a small mobile detailing business this spring. Today, I pulled out all my products from the closet and realized I need to get a "shopping list" together. I was hoping to get some suggestions on what to add to my arsenal. Here's most of what I already have:



Polishes/Swirl Removers

1Z Lineup (PP, MP, EP, UP)

AIO

SSR2 - Plan to order SSR 3, 2.5, 1

PwC

Poorboy's Professional Polish

Menzerna Twins (IP, FP II)

Meg's #9



Sealants/Waxes

EX-P

SG

NXT

#16

Natty's

Glanz



QD/Hoseless Wash

S&W

QEW

Sonus Acrylic Spritz/Glanz



PC Pads

1 each of Sonus DAS Blue, Green, Orange, Grey



I think I have interior products covered pretty well. I'm going to order some DACP, #80, VM, Sonus SFX Line, EX, Four Star UPP, and maybe some S100. What else should I get? A rotary is also in my future. I may get some Propel PC Pads from ExcelDetail, but am unsure of their quality, but the price is fair. Any suggestions on additional products would be greatly appreciated. I also need to get a small, powerful shop-vac that can act as an extractor for sucking up carpet cleaning solution.
 
More pads, buckets, and make sure you have a pretty large supply of MF towels.



Also something to think about is Thank You Cards. I know it sounds cheesy, but after every job I do I send the customer a thank you card for their business and include 3 buisness Cards. I haven't been doing a lot of jobs as I have a different full time job and I only do detailing on the weekends. But the Thank you Cards have gotten me two new customers.
 
The smaller items such as containers, MF towels, buckets, etc are pretty straight-forward. I'm looking more for specific paintwork and exterior products to use. Thanks for the reminders on the smaller "details" :D
