i would highly suggest downloading the free autopia guide to detailing. thats what i did when i first came to the site. that book is invaluable. or you can view it online.

This is so hard to answer for you becouse that is what the hole site is about. To put it into one post would be impossable. First do as much reading as you can. I am new to this site and high levels of detailing also, but this site has helped me. Don`t get turned of if you don`t get a black and white answer. Read what david has said already it will help you.:waxing:

Also, when it comes right down to it the specific supplies are for the most part secondary. The first and most important thing on your list needs to be technique.

deffinite +1 for both posts. im still in the process of learning how to detail properly and have been detailing for about 5 months now. it really takes a lot of passion and experience to properly detail. if possible, try finding a job as a detailer before starting your own business. doing so will help you watch and understand how to run a detailing business and how to detail cars to make a profit.



im also dumbfounded as to how you didnt see this article under the Guide to Detailing: http://autopia.org/forum/guide-detailing/80219-detailing-profit.html :nixweiss

Its funny how many threads i see where people think that starting a detailing buisness is as easy as just buying tools and products. Thats like .1% of the profession.
