Hey everyone, this is Mel Craig from The Total Pros and Smart Detailing University. Looks like 2010 has turned out to be a recovering year after all... Wow, we, at The Total Pros are seeing some awesome growth by our own rights but more importantly we are seeing a huge increase in new detailing business start ups. With all the new technology being introduced to our industry it's become very apparent it's no longer an expensive battle to get started in the detailing business. So, its no surprise that more and more people are looking at this industry with a different attitude now.
One other great thing we are seeing is that the foot print (space), needed to carry and store all your detailing and reconditioning supplies and equipment in the mobile environment has gotten very tight and a heck of a lot smaller and compact. No more need for trailers, large capacity vans and huge pick up trucks if your looking to get started in the mobile detailing business.
I've actually got one of my students that went through our training program a couple of years ago. He and his partner bought a "Smart Car" and believe it or not they have everything they need to perform high end detailing packed in the back of that Smart Car. I not kidding and if I did not see it for myself It would have been hard for me to believe. I'm not saying thats the way to go but, what I am saying is that it's now very possible to start thinking small and compact. Start thinking about going green and becoming eco friendly in all your detailing efforts.
Metro vac is putting out a great little high powered compact vac and blow system that is proving itself as a big hitter. Dura-maid is also putting out a compact hot water extractor that is performing beyond all our expectations especially with its size and light weight. The new porter cable 7424 XP is also holding a high ranking in performance and defect removal.
This is all new technology that has most definitly started a new trend in going "Compact And Tight" "Eco Friendly and Green"
Good luck out there. And oh ya, be sure to talk to at least 3 to 5 new customers everyday about the services you offer and you won't believe how much work you will have in less then 3 months.
