Sun vs Mobile Detailing business.

**Buff n stuff** · 07-10-2013, 06:20 PM

Hey guys, like i said in my introduction, i am wanting to start a Mobile Detailing business. And have a lot to learn.

I know a lot of products are NOT meant to be used in the sun or on a hot-to-the-touch car.. Well that seems to be a big problem? I know Poor Boys products can be used in the sun, but i haven`t tried them and what if i don`t like them?

The main question i have, does anyone haul around a decent size throw up tent of some sort to cover the car/truck/suv?? Something lightweight and simple.. Seems like a good idea to me.

For a mobile biz I wouldn`t be without one. Even with product that works well in or out of sun, such as PB...of which I`ve used for 10 plus years. You will get much better results with a pop-up, plus much nicer working condition.

Great!!! About how big is your pop up?

I have some poorboys products and love them. I used PwS on a black escape in direct sun on a 85+ degree day and had absolutely ZERO issues with it.

Also put a layer of nattys on my own car in direct sun and got distracted by a neighbor for about 10 mins, still wiped off with ease

I have a 12X12 pop up. Got it at Walmart for $100 can`t beat it

Make sure you have something to hold it down. If the wind blows and it lifts up off the ground, you will have bigger problems to face besides a dirty car

Thanks for the input guys.

My only problem personally with them is the set up because I dont have help. Im sure the newer ones are easier to set up though. I just havent done any research in a long time for one.

Have never run across a person that tried PB products and weren`t satisfied. They truly make great products. I have a section on my shelves dedicated for their products.

I`ve been using Steve`s line for well over ten years and with the exception of a couple of items, it`s a PB for me
