    Just wondering how many other mobile detailers get to their jobs by 6:00am just so they can be done before the extreme mid-day summertime heat.



    What time do you usually get to your mobile detailing jobs in the summer?

    I have two clients who I do a wash for one a week more if it rains. Both leave for the gym at 5am so I`m ready and waiting when the garage door opens. I love it that way by the time they get home I`m gone and on my way to my regular job.

    How do they get to the gym if you`re washing their car?

    I choose 6:00am. But it all depends on what time my customers booked for. Some days all I have are like 4-5 car wash/wax details. If that`s the case, I usually start around 8am-10am. If I got a Full detail in the day, it will always be first in the morning.

    Both own at least 3 cars/Suv`s they just take the one of the ones I`m not washing.
