Equipment -
We have a power washer
Shop Vac - I haven't looked to closely at these yet as I feel that are all pretty much the same. If someone has a recommendation on one, that would be great.

I'm sure there is some equipment that I'm missing, but I'm drawing a blank.
Thanks for the help.

I would suggest a pad in between cut and finish. As for shop vacs, look at the HP rating. Size means nothing. If you don't get one with some boys downstairs your going to find yourself doing twice the work you should have to. Next, what interior cleaner will you be using? There a lot of good ones out there and many ways of going about it. I would also suggest starting out with a Little Green Machine as an extractor for carpet. Don't let the size and price fool you. These things work very well for cars with the right solution.

only thing missing is you maybe calling Autogeek or Poorboy's for a quote to get your supplies

 

[Poorboy]

would be happy to quote wholesale prices if you have a tax id #

we've set up quite a few new business's this Spring :bigups

 

[YNOT]

I'd highly recommend a RIDGID® or CRAFTSMAN® wet/dry vac...two of the best brands on the market. Both offer a wide variety of sizes, Peak HP and accessories to completely outfit your detailing business.

Agree on the shopvac and recommend the Rigid (at Home Depot) over craftsman and Lowes brand.
