I`m planning on starting a very part time business that I only try to detail one car a week for awhile. There are 2 other full service detailers that I know of in my area. I know they offer full paint correction service, coating applications, and more of what you would expect from a full service "professional detailer"
Of the two detailers the one is 5 minutes away and I have not ready many (if any negative reviews). The other I havent researched because he is about 20-30 minutes away. (Not that that distance matters if he is a good detailer)
To start I have no plans on expe ting to compete with them in the paint protection and coating market. I plan on starting small and focusing on 1 to 2 levels of a full detail to speak.
Option one would be a wash, clay / decon, LSP (wax or sealant), interior clean and protection, add some tire shine, and rain x the windows.
Option 2 would be to step up to a one step polish and protect with everything else included.
I know I have to understand the market to know what to charge. Because if I ever do add more services I eo not want to have to increase prices on what I already offer. I`m not saying this to ask for pricing advice currently because I have to research what other people charge in my area already
What I am looking for is some advice on my purchase I made to see if I missed anything
I have towels on order from TRC
I have clay and polishers & pads already
Here is my purchase list
P&S interior cleaner
Meg`s APC
3D Express spray wax
3D one (if I get asked to do any form of actual correction)
3D pink soap
3D LVP conditioner for interiors
3D speed for the one step correction option
3D speed for tires / trim
3D carnauba wax
Microfiber Mitt and Chenille Mitt (so I`m not using my personal mitts)
Air fresheners - 3D scent sprays
Miscellaneous microfiber and foam applicators
Should I offer a few more choices for tire shine? More glossy, more matte / satin?
I`m assuming i could use N914 as a wipe down spray before applying the LSP?
