Proper spelling and punctuation would be a good start.

If you're looking for budget-minded bulk chemicals check with Meguiar's.

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?

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
