I'm going to show you a SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL way of setting up your car so you can run a part time Car Cleaning Business / Side Hustle to save you the extra Money buying a second vehicle or a Van. This means You can Invest in Better Equipment, Better Products and even on Courses to help you become a better Car Cleaner.
I Also reveal the best way to store all your Car Detailing products and valeting Tools. So you can save weight in your car and come up with a fast way of organising all of your equipment.
Important things to consider if you go down this route: You need to tell your car insurance company that you are using your car for a business. Failing to do so can invalidate your insurance. You also need to keep lids on all Boxes because car cleaning chemicals can leave smells that will impact your health and those who travel with you. Also you need to be aware of how much weight you can carry in your car and not overload it as it will play a part in your safety.
I also believe this is a good short term solution but for long term I strongly advise you get a van once you are fully established. If you really do rely on your own power and water supply then this method may not be the best option for you. Its all about finding a solution to get your business off the ground.
Eventually you will grow and expand your business and get a new Van but for those beginners who still aren't sure yet it makes total sense.

What sets you apart is your willingness to try anything and everything, be completely objective and to think about it all not just from the point of view of a professional but what would work for an amateur or someone starting out as a detailer. I have yet to watch all of your content but have not yet seen any vacuum cleaner reviews, have I missed that or are you planning to do this in the future? I wish you every possible success and thanks for taking the time to share your skills and opinions with us.

I've got a van for mobile valeting, with a generator and water tank and all of that, but went out to a few jobs with my personal car instead. The bare minimum fitted perfectly in the boot (I drive an estate car, so the longer boot helped). To be honest, using a car instead of a van, sometimes feels better, as you don't have to go through the clutter just to use the necessary bits.

Great video Dave. It's honestly a really fair point about just doing it out of the car, because that's what I was looking at doing in a few months time when I come to start my own mobile valet. You can just use the customer's power and water if you are clear about it in advance. Yes, you may lose out on some people who expect you to use your own, but someone I spoke to recently said they're the sort of people that will give you all the grief anyways! Thanks for the video

Keeping it simple is best. I run a setup out the back of my 2019 Mitsubishi Triton ute. 30L air compressor, vacuum, karcher high pressure, hose reels, chemical rack x12 bottles, 2 slider drawer systems, wash gear, polishing machine and microfiber tubs. I can get 99% of the work done with this setup without having to take anything else. Everything else stays on the garage shelves. No one has even batted an eye for me not taking my own power or water either (Australia based). The key is having a setup where it suits your style of detailing (maintenance / ceramic / heavy duty cleaning / full details) and spending the least amount of time mucking around finding and setting up / packing up equipment.

I use a rolling metal cart with 3 levels that has mesh for the bottoms. So I just take out all the critical stuff like hoses, extension cords, pressure washer, etc.. to set up and then load the cart up with the chemicals, towels and tools I expect to use. Basically the same thing you're doing with the boxes but a little easier to move around together and I toss used towels or things that may be dripping on the lower levels of the cart so they can kinda dry before going back in the bins at the end.

Brilliant info Dave. Having a signed up van is great, but there are some striking disadvantages when starting out. Van insurance can be very expensive, and as you pointed out, a decent van will set you back a few grand. I know a top end detailer, and he spent 14 grand just having the back of his van kitted out !! Also, there's a lot of thieving gits out there, so emptying your car out each evening may save you the heart ache of finding all your stuff has been nicked, and even if you empty your van out, they will still rip your loading door open only to find an empty van. Nice one Dave

I have a 7 seater mpv that is 20cm longer than the s-max and my products are in long plastic trays (like the ones supermarkets get bread delivered in) but it just takes up too much space, I've been having to lay the back seats down to get all my equipment in. I've just got a new car dryer (well technically a leaf blower), a wetvac, and a steamer that I've got to fit in there now. So you don't strap anything down?

My question to you is : how do you know which micro fibers are used for what? Do you have a color code system? Do you just use then arbitrarily on the day regardless of size or color, and then chuck them in the washing machine ? Sorry for how many questions that is.

Yes it's fine. I started on a pedal bike. Yes I made many mistakes but I've learned so much about the job and myself as a person. You will develop skills over time and look back on where you started

Hi Nigel. To be 100% I'm not sure myself. I chose to take some time away from it because I've been doing too much and it's killing me physically and mentally so for my family's sake I decided just to re-evaluate few things for few months

Move on to the next. The probably if that happening in most cases is slim from my own experience but for beginners who are just practicing at this stage they can be picky and just find other potential customers
