    So do you guys without trailers get your water and power from the clients?

    That`s why I bought a 94 Hilux with a flexiglass top on it. Tonnes of room

    I sleep in it sometimes
    Car care/detailing sadly isn`t high on the agenda for 98% of australians.

    I would like to see pics of the coupe setup also. All I have is a 4 door Civic and am trying to figure out how to fit everything. I`m going to be using customer electric and water, so I won`t have to carry the generator, so that still leaves a lot of room in the trunk. So far I have all of my chemicals and towels in a clear plastic box with a closeable lid on it and two 5 gallon buckets. With those in the trunk, I could still have room for a vac if it isn`t too tall, other wise, in the back seat it will go.

    Yes, usually with rinseless washings.

    So most customers agree with the idea that your using their water and electricity? What would you all say as far as ratio wise (1:1=50% electric 50%generator?)

    I have on my website that I use the wet/dry vac for about 15 min, the 1400PSI PW for 15 min, and the PC for at least 4 hours depending. This is the amount of time the machine is runnning, not necessarily the time it`s plugged in.



    Edit: And for water I just guessed at no more than 25 gallons would be used per wash. I also stressed that I would try to use rinseless washes.

    Heh. I usually carry 2 buckets, 2 bags, 1 Extension Cord wheel, vacuum, a plastic bin, and some other pieces. Not sure how I could even fit a steamer/extractor in the future!

    Hey Picus if you can get a few closer pics of what exactly you carry when you get a chance that`d be great.

    What extractor are you using? Any chance of pictures where all the equipment is laid out? I need to find a way to compact everything!

    Extractor is a durrmaid mini. What do you mean pics of everything laid out? You mean pics of everything outside the car?

    Hehe Yes. Considering I want a steamer/extractor in the future I have no clue how I can fit it all. Thoughts on the Durrmaid Mini?

    I just stuff everything in my truck, and yes I use baggies for wash mitts and towels.
