Need Advice on Fleet Washing Pricing

[AutoNova]

I really need some advice or places to look to get an idea of what people charge for fleet detailing. I just recevied my mobile unit and I am going to beging making the rounds to car lots and I wanted to get an idea of what is competitive for:



Washing

Washing and Vac

Wash, Vac and Dress tires-interior



What do people do with re-claimed water?

Are there certain items I should get for my trailer that I will need for sure?



I will also be doing pressure washing and I am not sure how people typically charge for jobs? By the hour, foot, job?

Can`t help you witht he "fleet" prices, but one thing I noticed that you can get. I have the same vac as you and I went to a local detailing/car wash distributor and got 15 feet of flexible hose like the ones used at the do-it-yourself wash places. It fits perfectly into the cannister and so much easier to use. You just have to cut the locking fixture off of the factory hose and put it into the new hose, rap a little duct tape around it and your good to go. Thats just one suggestion.

i have a trailer and I will be willing to share the information that I obtain. I am starting out and have one trailer and a van. 1) found other detailer in your area and have a conversation with them

Do you mean like the long blue hoses that look like pool hoses? I guess I am going to have to invest in a tool box?

I think he means, like the "coin" vaccumms at the coin wash..they are usually commercial durability and much longer than the regular hose.. I think a pool hoses` diameter will be too small for what you are using it for.
