Hello everyone,
I'm completely new to the idea of professional detailing, however, not new to the idea of cleaning a car or truck to a show finish.
A bit about me, married with 2 great kids, I'm originally from the UK and moved over to the USA about 4 years ago leaving behind a very lucrative career (my wife is originally from The USA but was home sick). Unfortunately over the past few years I have found it difficult being a stay at home Dad and focusing on a career at the same time, especially being an uneducated man. Not that I'm not intelligent, I just don't hold the papers that big firms are looking for to employ.
I do not regret my move, I absolutely love it over here!
I have always enjoyed cleaning and detailing my cars but would really like to take things forward and build up a company and clientele to pave the way for me and my family. Now the big question is, what advice could you give a non professional detailer on products to buy when starting out.... I'm looking to keep overheads down and keep to being a mobile business.
I understand that educating myself on how to professionally detail is a must. Although I do feel that my ability to learn and attention to detail is already very good.
I feel that I have been sparked into this when I shipped my Ford Mustang over from the UK to the USA I treated it to a full detail..... After paying and picking the car up I was happy initially, but after driving it for a few days I noticed that I could have done twice the job for the money they charged me.
Anyway, thank you for reading my ramble..... Look forward to your thoughts and input.
PS I was looking into getting an enclosed trailer with equipment etc
