Mobile Auto Detailing - Beginning Out On A Budget7427853
Mobile detailing is a little various than mobile vehicle washing in that you are spending a lot more time on every automobile, and you are creating a lot more money on each vehicle you clean. In mobile car washing you may end up performing five-ten cars per hour with a crew of 2-3, whereas, with mobile auto detailing you may work alone, no employees (an added benefit) and spend 1.5 or more hours cleaning a single automobile. Let's speak.
You see, not long ago an individual asked me about gear, as they wanted to start this company and do it part time, but did not want to invest extremely much money in the gear to get began. They had some gear, a transportable generator, vacuum, and very little water tank, about 35-gallons. They had been concerned about what kind of pump to buy for the washing part of their auto detailing
"I was looking at a pump known as Delavan PowerFlo 12Volt. Would this size pump function for the size tank I have? It's a little utility pump I discovered. Not sure how well it would do. As soon as I get going I would not thoughts getting a bigger tank and upgrading my setup to optimize for the customers as soon as I get established."
Little pumps like the one they mentioned might not be the best option due to the low-volume, plus low stress. This specific brand of pump is fine, and decent high quality, and ideal for some uses, but perhaps not for washing a quantity of vehicles and performing it rapidly. Why you may wonder?
Nicely, if you have low-volume you'll need greater stress. If you have greater volume you can get away with reduce pressure but you will deplete your tank too rapidly, see that issue. It may be better to discover a plastic 55-gallon drum and hook it to a Walmart electric stress washer or 1 you find at Home Depot because you already have a generator. Generators put out 110, not 12-volts you see.
If you have a generator, why bother going with a 12-volt system which you'd have to run off the vehicle battery? You could begin out small as you recommend, however, for the price of a 12-volt pump you could probably buy a cheapo Chinese made pressure washer and then when you upgrade later you could get a complete-blown 5hp Honda pressure washer with a 1500 PSI pump and get a 100-gallon loaf tank.
Even if you begin out on a shoe string which is perfectly acceptable while you are just obtaining your feet wet, you nonetheless require to strategically think ahead and leave your options open. Please consider all this and think on it.
