Been using clients water for about a yr since I started. Installing a 100 gallon water tank this weekend into my van. Best advice I have is start with the basics then get the fancy stuff like a tank once you've proven your business model
working on that this weekend actually! Hired my first full time employee this week and I'm working on uniforms for us. I have some pretty good ideas for them
Can you make a video on the proper way to wash a car from start to finish. Seriously considering starting this business just trying to figure everything out. Also how long did it take you to save up for a van. I was thinking of getting a older Ford Ecnoline cargo to start.
For sure, I'll have that video out shortly. As far as buying a van goes: I'd recommend you start with your personal vehicle and wait until the business has enough traction to pay for the van. Don't use assets (money) outside of your business for your business, you must first prove your business model. My van was $14k, and the wrap was $3.5k, I didn't buy a van until I was making over $10k a month. Be sure to buy things like this with cash. Debt is not your friend in a small business like this
As a fellow cat detailer on sports cars please be careful with the tire shine on the tread. Especially with sports cars. some people don’t understand but I had a buddy loose traction and almost crash because he put some on the tire tread. Just a heads up don’t need you to get in legal trouble
Good investment in your branding.

it absolutely is! I'm so grateful to have had enough success to afford something like a wrap
You’re going to go far, you came recommended by Yvan.
@@havingtoomuchfun4806 Thank you, I appreciate that. I can already tell Yvan is going to be an excellent mentor. Loving his videos right now!
Good video and question do you have a water tank or not or do you use your clients water ?

Another branding idea is shirts. You need to wear a shirt anyway, so get your Branding on your shirts that you wear both for work and wherever you go.

It's a rolling billboard. If billboards didn't work, they would all disappear tomorrow. How many do you see on a daily basis?
can i run fb ads for you?
I’m assuming you’re gonna write it off as business marketing expenses correct? I hope so bro 😂
1000% already did

Appreciate the feedback. I've seen this happen when detailers use an oil based dressing. Water based doesn't have the same issue as far as I am aware
