Hey guys!
Ive recently started a mobile powerwashing unit because of the demand from all the dealerships in my area. I own and operate a Detail and accessory shop in MI and have a very close relationship with alot of the GM's here. I was doing lot washing last year for one of them on a weekly basis and decided to put together a mobile unit. After researching on here i have realized how little i know about this industry and feel like i need to play some catchup to pull in the best profit potential. From what i have read im getting a decent price point but i have a few problems and i need some help!!! Theres a few of you one here that i have seen doing very well at this so i hope you will chime in! So here we go:
- Im realizing that a DI system is a must!!! What kind of DI systems are you using and are they cost effective for this type of industry? (@1.75/car)
- I have heard of some using a rinse aid, if you are...what kind and brand are u using and what are your expariences with them.
- What kind of time frame are u completing your contracts in? IE how long are u taking per car and how? I have read people doing 100 cars/ hour! Thats impressive and would love some tips.
- If you are washing and drying cars, what is the best kind/brand of towels or chammois?
- What psi/GPM Pressure washers are you using. Also If you could list your set-up as far as vehicle/Pressure Washer type/ Hose Length/ and DI-RO-or Rinse Aid!
Thanks for all ur answers in advance!!!
