What does a mobile detailer do to keep busy if they are in a northern state that can have snow from late nov to late march? How does the freezing temps effect chemical? etc. thank you to all that answer.

I usually stood at a window, watched it snow, and wished I had a shop lol.
Here in northern Indiana is is next to impossible.
Cars are driving around with huge chucks of ice hanging from the fenders and sometimes they fall off and if you hit one on the road it can nearly wreck you.
I only do my own vehicles but I`m fortunate to have 2 nice big garages both are well insulated and both have heat and air conditioning.
One is much better suited for detailing though with a lot of lights water and floor drain that is how I manage to keep mine clean in the winter
Most around here go to a tunnel wash on days when it gets above freezing.
Offer Wash and undercarriage wash services to eliminate all that nasty salt!
If you use a pickup and trailer instead of a van you can drop the trailer and hookup a plow. A lot of the landscapers around here keep busy during the winter that way. If you do dealerships you already have your first contacts too.
thanks for the info. stuff to chew on.
does anyone know of a good undercarriage wash place for the nyc winter salt? how i can do it myself? thanks
I did this for the past few years but it seems that I will be detailing 10 to 15 cars a month for a new client and cleaning and turning wrenches on buses for another. Then I know of a few clients who have big garages, maybe I can get their cars done over the winter. I also was offered a snow shovel from a snow removal guy who says at $10 a walk I can make $300 per snow day so hopefully I won`t need to resort to working for the man this winter.
