What I love about it, is no lifting vacuums and pressure washers and extension cables in/out of the vehicle every time you do a job. Great efficient setup!
Great setup, I'm getting to the point. Where I need a mobile setup. I currently have a full time job & detail on weekends. Getting to the point, I think when I'm off work. I can go do some detailing at their location instead of my house. I'm just on the fence on buying a pickup or a van. I'm leaning more to a van. It'll have to be a mini van so I can park in my garage. So setup is the key to get organized in a mini van. I was good at playing testris when I was younger so that shouldn't be a problem getting things to fit. I'm doing this for my daughter as she loves to help me detailing & I hope when she gets to age of starting to work. Business will be busy enough for her to run her own show. I've seen a old friend teach his daughter & now at 17yrs old she has her own business. She did very well last summer & is already booked, but school comes 1st then afterwards she at it. She's already wants to get a second vehicle.. to maybe put her dad to work lol.. but long rant.... great setup keep up on grinding out there
Out of all the videos I watch and how critical I am I have to admit, you not only have a good setup but you have quality equipment. I just started a commercial cleaning company and I’ll add in fleet detailing and semi truck. I like your style.
Thank you really I just did it because I love the stuff... the van was just a cargo van so all the panels were flimsy but now it's like a whole new skin all throughout... Sound dampening and rattle/vibration deadening was the purpose and I just really wanted to do it lol I was thinking back to my 20 year old days and car audio I was always into. I figured the dynamat would give it a bit more character as well considering I wanted my van to stand out a bit. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks bro! I am excited to keep the business rolling I just need to get the hussle going ALL the time... can't wait to see more of your detail videos (day in the life) those always were so helpful and motivational
Thanks for the Post bro you have a nice rig and set up! You just show me the vacuum I am going to get not to mention it acts as a leaf blower as well so I can dry off the car in a jiffy oh yeah so glad I clicked on your video bro keep up the good work!
Tnx so much for the detailed video. Really liked the info on how to fill up the water tank, the vacuum hose setup and the specific info on the equipment. Especially loved the row of “dummy chemicals”. That is ingenious!! Great vid 👍🏽
All that dynamat is worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars, if not thousands. Whoever installed did a real great job too. Looks like that thing was made for a pro audio system before a detailing unit!!
Great video, I'm currently doing waterless mobile car detailing out of the boot of my sedan, no water, no electricity needed, but i can only charge so much doing that, so I'm trying to transition to regular mobile car detailing, thinking of buying an SUV it'll be enough for my equipment. Small water tank, bigger vacuum, pressure washer, steamer, generator for odd occasions, water hose, product and accessories. I'm not doing paint correction, most I'll do is clay bar for dead bugs etc.
I been metal polishing and detailing for 22 years past 4 years I've worked at the USPS and still dabbling with detailing by appointments on my off days. My dream is to to have a van like yours of some sort with all your equipment... this is really encouraging my to do so.. I love your set up my brutha! I need a van like that..what's the making and year?
Thanks James 0:44 - 2005 dodge sprinter 3500 (basically i was looking for any 2002-2006 dodge sprinter 2500 or 3500 high top.... long wheel base OR short... The reason being is it's got a Mercedes 2.7 litre Turbo Diesel motor... Mercedes transmission and suspension. I bought it for $8,000 with 155k miles. I got a killer deal as I knew what I wanted and looked everyday for 40 days until I found one in one of the states I was ok with it being in. Oregon.. Put the deposit on it right away... flew there 2 days later and drove it back home for 2 days. It was a beast! Thanks for the kind words good luck to you on your search and setup! It's a great thing to do, it takes time to build confidence, clientele and understanding of many areas but it's worth it!
Appreciate it Tim! Thanks for stopping by to check it out... Now I need to keep figuring out the rest of the marketing game!!! Gets a little frustrating sometimes
@@timothyalexander566 275 gallons... It all depends on the cars size, filth level and what I'm doing exactly... But I would say 10 cars fully loaded with water... maybe more maybe less.. So hard to tell. Thank you so much!
Great set up. I just wanted to say that you should take individual pictures of your great equipment and have them added to the lower sides of your van, pics maybe 1 foot by 1 foot in size and maybe add some words about your equipment pics. maybe (Top Quality Equipment for a Top Quality Job) Also you need your phone number in large print on each side and on the back of the van. you can also make something out of clear plastic that holds flyers and business cards and have them attached to the van (Velcro) for people that are just walking by while you are working can get information without disturbing you. Make them clear plastic so people can see that you have flyers and business cards inside. Another thing always have a business card holder in your wallet with nice business cards never hand out wrinkled or dirty business cards. Good luck and I wish you the best.
Thats the size van that all cleaning firms should have ..great job ( only thing i would change is the water tank.. i would get a proper water tank and get it bolted to the chassis for security in a crash )
thank you yes.. i love the size. I think the water tank is mounted and bolted to the frame of the van... the base is mounted to frame rear sub and the water tank is also super strapped down to the anchor points hard mounted in the van on the install.. I think it's mounted and good to go! I hope anyway huh?
love the van setup. Truly inspiring! Just in the process of launching my own detailing business in NJ and definitely drawing inspiration from your videos. Thank you!
Great video, great set up. Glad you made the video and don't worry about not being a great youtuber you did just fine 👍 but I know how you feel, keep up the good work
Thanks Joe! You know I should... I have been beating myself up mentally about making videos. Getting overwhelmed with figuring out how to produce something good... (camera angles, a detail from start to finish etc..) I am not really much of a 'youtuber' I guess I just need to practice. I have a lot more respect for people who do work AND video the whole thing!!!! jeeze sometimes just charging all your camera batteries makes my head spin. One thing that makes me realize I need to make content is people keep subscribing
i have a question bro how does that orange wheel hook up to out end on the reel? like from the vac to the reel where does the hose go thats wrapped up does it connect through or something? nice video man badass
p.s. my strategy requires 1 hand to hold my blower..... and my other hand for a towel so I can blow the water into a drying towel... that works like a charm for me so if I had to use the bigger blower that would be a harder task to maneuver one-handed
@@josholand I'm glad that works for you. I love the idea of having a larger wetvac with a extension hose. I'm looking for a adapter to make the hose a little bit smaller so I can fit smaller attachments onto the end to fit between seats.
Really inspiring. I want to get into doing this. I dont want to be competition though... I'm planning on doing this in Arizona. I seen a palm tree, hoping you're in California
Thanks man! don't ever worry about competition! Just do your thing and roll with it! Too many cars out there that need cleaning so there will always be the business! Good luck man!
Hey Victor in the easiest words possible.... I bought a rigid vacuum.... and then I bought (on amazon) 50 foot vacuum hose / reel.... all the parts those things both came with hooked up nicely... Hope that helps
Home Depot for $79 Thanks for the ideas, I will get some on the job videos up... like i mentioned above (or below) content creators out there get me thinking I'm not good enough at content creating.... . I need to move passed that boat though!
All the extensions are great! Max efficiency .. btw I am wondering what your business licensing situation is like, I am about to take the leap myself but am a little flustered by the tax situation (having to register with every city, along with filing dba at county level) should I bother?
To be honest that overwhelmed me too until I realized I just need to get a license out of the city i live in.... and just start working. If for any reason down the road you have to get a license in another city address that when it arises. Taxes i'm right there with you... I'm waiting a year or two to file which probably isn't the best way but I just figured I need to start making money first
Hey josher how did mount the diamond plate in the rear to the floor and the water tank? can it be done by your self or have to take it over some on professional shop. also you have some name and link to where you have got your product from or all the material.
I have that exact same 16 gallon vacuum you have. What is the max length of hose that I could put on this vacuum? I might want to use it as a central vacuum for a house one day.
If you had a cart with all your interior detailing brushes/towels/cleaners and another with all your exterior detailing stuff (wheel brushes/iron remover/wheel-cleaner/etc), you could simply wheel each around with you as you move around the car. Only lifting one item (cart) in and out for the interior and then one for the exterior Just a thought that would make you even more efficient. Maybe you already do something like that...nice setup though
hello joshuer I am in France and I would like to prepare a car cleaning truck. I love your configuration. My question is would you have a list of your equipment with installation diagram. There is nothing comparable in France. Thank you in advance silvan
Thanks for the kind words! I don't have a how to list and diagram on how I built the van.... I had a shop do the pressure washer and water tank install.... everything else was added in time over 3-4 months.... You can just copy it as you like or get creative and make it your own that works for you! Thanks friend!
Hey man thanks for the comment.... also the keep creating goes a long way with me because for some reason I feel like I don't make good enough videos to keep creating! lol watching too many high end youtube channels gets me NOT creating! UGH!
Paint correction videos and how to's ? Im wanting to start my own buissness seen you on dde and well hopefully i can learn and start my own detail company..
So I own my own mobile detailing business and all been looking into buying a new van how good is your fuel economy in the dodge? Also have you find any down side to using the dodge over maybe something else?
well the dodge has a mercedes 2.7 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel motor.... mercedes transmission and suspension.... it's awesome for fuel economy. When I first bought the van I drove it 430 miles on 1 tank of gas 80mph most the way.... EMPTY cargo area of course. A couple downfalls about the van is it's height... it can't go through the drive thru's and it can't go into most parking structures.... Also it's long so trying to park it where there is no room to park is a problem if that happens... I think a SMALL custom setup would be equally cool to my setup... check out Tony's setup on raldas detailing
love you bro . just getting into detailing from hobby into new career after 20 years working for the man. So ive got quiet the huge changing expedition before me! quiet scary really! Cuz I have 2 lexus sedans, and a motorcycle. I know I really need a van like yours I love the sprinters. any advise on where to get the water tank, maybe a used one, and an used sprinter to get me on the go working my ass off? I chose to ask you because of your honesty and humility towards the end, you seem a man just such as I bro. -love from soCal Desert.
Hey best of luck to you too.. It is scary to start off doing mobile detailing full time... for many reasons. I learned a lot in the last 2 years or so and I realized it's a slow steady pace you want to take and not to expect everything good to happen right off the bat. If you live in CA then these water tanks should be all over the place. Farmers use them as well. I got mine from 'boyce industries' in Santa Ana, CA Also as far as the Sprinter van goes.... I searched auto trader, craigslist and ebay for 40 days until I found a good deal.. I wanted one between 2002-2006
Thank you my dude. Very laid out and detailed. Responses. I live in a small town near Palm. Springs do not too close to LA unless to out of state peeps were all Los Ángeles haha. I guess last ? Sorry to bug. How’s the sprinter do maintenance wise? Lexus style or Ford style Maint Hahahah.
@@bigcroatevo5405 The sprinter van is awesome! Powerful, drives as if it's a smaller vehicle, gas efficient... Oil changes are twice as much as a car due to it taking 9.5 quarts of oil. Maintenance doesn't seem to be too crazy
I only had 1 product in the back get damaged by the sun/heat.... that was meguiars hyper dressing.... started growing mold. I don't store that in the back anymore. Also all my polishes / waxes I keep up front now. the only thing I keep in the back is degreaser, apc, soap, window cleaner... those products do fine in the back where I am located.
This is a very good setup. I am interested in having a similar setup here in Kenya...is there a company that does the van racking you could recommend ?
www.amazon.com/Cen-Tec-Systems-94082-Industrial-Attachment/dp/B07MTT1VTZ/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=50+foot+vacuum+reel&qid=1565273515&s=gateway&sr=8-5 It's 499.99 now ... I got mine on amazon for 399.99 and it didn't come with that bag of attachments.. Anyway that's the same one I got.
josher - Mobile Auto Detailing hey man, your setup is very inspiring! Can you tell me the brand of pump you use? And how you connect the tank to the pump, to the washer? Thank you so much. Subscribed!
Thanks a lot! keep an eye out for an update video on my van.. also what big van are you interested in switching into? I like your setup too how it is in the pickup! Great job man.. love that new 1/4 hose on that reel... 100ft on 50ft hose is awesome! you gave me the idea that I think my hose reel would fit a 200 ft. 1/4" ! that's cool to know!
@@josholand I definitely will be watching for updates! I want to get a promaster, but honestly going to make the truck work as long as possible. Try to keep my overhead down! That camper shell is a game changer for the small truck builds!! It took some time to make the truck efficient but it’s not bad for only having a 6ft truck bed!!
Josh I have the same vac and reel on order. The vac has that 2.5 inch locking sleeve on the vac designed for Ridgids hoses. How did you get the orange hose to fit on that.....press fit or special adapter?
hmmmm good question! I am pretty sure I just used everything that came with my rigid vacuum and the hose /reel.... IF i had to buy an additional plastic piece I would have bought it from Home Depot.
Hello sir ,I live in the € actually,here we don’t have much of thies mobil cares ,i want to start my on business as a mobile car wash .i want to ask if you sir mixing something with the water to make the car more shining or only water? Thanks you sir so much
I take pricing and make it personal for myself really. I know exactly what job is what and aprox. how long I spend on each job so I price accordingly. For example.... for a full interior and exterior 'detail' I charge around $300 for a sedan and spend 5-6 hours on it. IF someone else is out there who does it for $200.... I will give the customer an option to go to the cheaper place... or pay my price. This is physical labor and I believe each of us detailers is empowered to suggest ANY price we want knowing what that potential job is going to make us feel like. (but superduper details could do it for $180....) they say... WELL then you will have to go to Superduper details... I invested a pretty penny on my business and equipment so if someone wants CHEAP.... They have to go elsewhere. lol this turn into a rant or did this help out? Ask more if I didn't answer what you were looking for. :b
@@josholand it does, yes. And I think competing on price is generally a bad idea for this kind of thing. Doesn't compounding take a lot longer? I would think a different price and time est. for corrections
What I love about it, is no lifting vacuums and pressure washers and extension cables in/out of the vehicle every time you do a job. Great efficient setup!
Thank you!! Yes that was my goal... to have the LEAST amount of work for me to do so I can do the MOST amount of work efficiently.
Great setup, I'm getting to the point. Where I need a mobile setup. I currently have a full time job & detail on weekends. Getting to the point, I think when I'm off work. I can go do some detailing at their location instead of my house. I'm just on the fence on buying a pickup or a van. I'm leaning more to a van. It'll have to be a mini van so I can park in my garage.

Super nice van bro...what was the purpose of all the dynamat in back?

If you had a cart with all your interior detailing brushes/towels/cleaners and another with all your exterior detailing stuff (wheel brushes/iron remover/wheel-cleaner/etc), you could simply wheel each around with you as you move around the car. Only lifting one item (cart) in and out for the interior and then one for the exterior Just a thought that would make you even more efficient. Maybe you already do something like that...nice setup though
Love your vids man, amazing setup!
hello joshuer
I am in France and I would like to prepare a car cleaning truck. I love your configuration. My question is would you have a list of your equipment with installation diagram. There is nothing comparable in France. Thank you in advance
silvan
Thanks for the kind words! I don't have a how to list and diagram on how I built the van.... I had a shop do the pressure washer and water tank install.... everything else was added in time over 3-4 months.... You can just copy it as you like or get creative and make it your own that works for you! Thanks friend!
@@josholand thank you for answer
Amazing set up ! What hose reel are you using? Would love to get one for my vacuum as well
Thank you! it's on amazon www.amazon.com/Cen-Tec-Systems-Industrial-Hose-Vacuums/dp/B072DS33QQ/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=50+vacuum+hose&qid=1586192181&sr=8-26
Nice van!
What do think of putting a awning on the side of the van and work from the side ?
I like the set up it’s motivating me to go mobile
awesome setup man! keep creating, doing great!
Hey man thanks for the comment.... also the keep creating goes a long way with me because for some reason I feel like I don't make good enough videos to keep creating! lol watching too many high end youtube channels gets me NOT creating! UGH!
Paint correction videos and how to's ? Im wanting to start my own buissness seen you on dde and well hopefully i can learn and start my own detail company..
Nice set up bro.
Great job looking good
thank you!
So I own my own mobile detailing business and all been looking into buying a new van how good is your fuel economy in the dodge? Also have you find any down side to using the dodge over maybe something else?
well the dodge has a mercedes 2.7 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel motor.... mercedes transmission and suspension.... it's awesome for fuel economy. When I first bought the van I drove it 430 miles on 1 tank of gas 80mph most the way.... EMPTY cargo area of course. A couple downfalls about the van is it's height... it can't go through the drive thru's and it can't go into most parking structures.... Also it's long so trying to park it where there is no room to park is a problem if that happens... I think a SMALL custom setup would be equally cool to my setup... check out Tony's setup on raldas detailing
love you bro . just getting into detailing from hobby into new career after 20 years working for the man. So ive got quiet the huge changing expedition before me! quiet scary really! Cuz I have 2 lexus sedans, and a motorcycle. I know I really need a van like yours I love the sprinters. any advise on where to get the water tank, maybe a used one, and an used sprinter to get me on the go working my ass off? I chose to ask you because of your honesty and humility towards the end, you seem a man just such as I bro. -love from soCal Desert.
Hey best of luck to you too.. It is scary to start off doing mobile detailing full time... for many reasons. I learned a lot in the last 2 years or so and I realized it's a slow steady pace you want to take and not to expect everything good to happen right off the bat. If you live in CA then these water tanks should be all over the place. Farmers use them as well. I got mine from 'boyce industries' in Santa Ana, CA Also as far as the Sprinter van goes.... I searched auto trader, craigslist and ebay for 40 days until I found a good deal.. I wanted one between 2002-2006
Thank you my dude. Very laid out and detailed. Responses. I live in a small town near Palm. Springs do not too close to LA unless to out of state peeps were all Los Ángeles haha. I guess last ? Sorry to bug. How’s the sprinter do maintenance wise? Lexus style or Ford style Maint Hahahah.
@@bigcroatevo5405 The sprinter van is awesome! Powerful, drives as if it's a smaller vehicle, gas efficient... Oil changes are twice as much as a car due to it taking 9.5 quarts of oil. Maintenance doesn't seem to be too crazy
Doesn’t the spray products damage in heat?? I once left wax and polish in a trunk for a week in 100 degree weather. That crap spoiled quick
I only had 1 product in the back get damaged by the sun/heat.... that was meguiars hyper dressing.... started growing mold. I don't store that in the back anymore. Also all my polishes / waxes I keep up front now. the only thing I keep in the back is degreaser, apc, soap, window cleaner... those products do fine in the back where I am located.
This is a very good setup. I am interested in having a similar setup here in Kenya...is there a company that does the van racking you could recommend ?
Great setup!! 😍😍😍
can you help with the link for the vacuum hose reel please !!
Thank you!!

I’d love to see you make more videos!
Thanks!! Go check out my new one! :)
Do you use a pump from your water tank to your pressure washer? Or does gravity do the job well?
a pump
@@josholand thank you sir
josher - Mobile Auto Detailing hey man, your setup is very inspiring! Can you tell me the brand of pump you use? And how you connect the tank to the pump, to the washer? Thank you so much. Subscribed!

Great vid and setup of the van. Thanks for the update and I think you should do a more recent update of present time as well
Nice van bro.
Saludos desde Uruapan Mich Mexico
Thanks Jorge!
Love the setup.. what kind of tent is that? I’d love to get one. I also do mobile detailing and I’m in Florida. The sun takes only a few days off lol.
Thank you! the canopies I have are from California Palms in Ontario, CA I got 2x 10x15 canopies cost aprox $400
Hey Josher, could you please tell me where you purchased the 50ft vacuum hose.? Thanks
Nice looks good man!!
Thanks Andy! appreciate it and i'm excited to see your detail rig build!
Awesome setup. I Can’t wait to upgrade to a big van
Thanks a lot! keep an eye out for an update video on my van.. also what big van are you interested in switching into? I like your setup too how it is in the pickup! Great job man.. love that new 1/4 hose on that reel... 100ft on 50ft hose is awesome! you gave me the idea that I think my hose reel would fit a 200 ft. 1/4" ! that's cool to know!
@@josholand I definitely will be watching for updates! I want to get a promaster, but honestly going to make the truck work as long as possible. Try to keep my overhead down!
That camper shell is a game changer for the small truck builds!! It took some time to make the truck efficient but it’s not bad for only having a 6ft truck bed!!
Josh I have the same vac and reel on order. The vac has that 2.5 inch locking sleeve on the vac designed for Ridgids hoses. How did you get the orange hose to fit on that.....press fit or special adapter?
hmmmm good question! I am pretty sure I just used everything that came with my rigid vacuum and the hose /reel.... IF i had to buy an additional plastic piece I would have bought it from Home Depot.
@@josholand Thank you.
Hello sir ,I live in the € actually,here we don’t have much of thies mobil cares ,i want to start my on business as a mobile car wash .i want to ask if you sir mixing something with the water to make the car more shining or only water?
Thanks you sir so much
Thanks for this video. Quick question, how are you working around the water reclamation laws in California?
I'm doing the work.... I've only been warned twice in 3 years. Never got a fine
@@josholand Thanks man! I was really worried about that
Bad ass man! Great job!
Hey Josher, Do you remember how many sheets of Dynomat it took to fully insulate the entire van? Thanks
How do you approach pricing for your detail jobs, and how much time do you tell them up front?
I take pricing and make it personal for myself really. I know exactly what job is what and aprox. how long I spend on each job so I price accordingly. For example.... for a full interior and exterior 'detail' I charge around $300 for a sedan and spend 5-6 hours on it. IF someone else is out there who does it for $200.... I will give the customer an option to go to the cheaper place... or pay my price. This is physical labor and I believe each of us detailers is empowered to suggest ANY price we want knowing what that potential job is going to make us feel like. (but superduper details could do it for $180....) they say... WELL then you will have to go to Superduper details... I invested a pretty penny on my business and equipment so if someone wants CHEAP.... They have to go elsewhere. lol this turn into a rant or did this help out? Ask more if I didn't answer what you were looking for. :b
@@josholand it does, yes. And I think competing on price is generally a bad idea for this kind of thing.
Doesn't compounding take a lot longer? I would think a different price and time est. for corrections
