Car Detailing

Mobile interior and exterior detailing.

01 — "Overview"

People pay well to not clean their own car. Mobile detailing removes the need for a shop.

02 — "The Crash Course"

Step 01
Build a mobile kit
Hot water extractor, dual-action polisher, shop vac, microfiber towels, APC, iron remover, clay bar, sealant. Budget ~$600.
Step 02
Create 3 packages
Interior only, exterior only, full detail. Add-ons: pet hair, odor, headlights, ceramic coating.
Step 03
Price by size and condition
Full detail $150–$300 for sedans, more for SUVs and heavy dirt.
Step 04
Set up online booking
Google Business Profile, Instagram, and a booking link (Square or Urable).
Step 05
Film every job
Before/after reels of dirty interiors get massive local reach.
Step 06
Sell maintenance plans
Monthly wash plans at $60–$120 lock in recurring income.
Step 07
Upsell ceramic coatings
Once skilled, coatings run $500–$1,500 per car.

"The math"

6 full details/week at $180 avg · ~$15 products each = ~$990/week ≈ $4,000/month.

The "how people lose" section alone saved me. Avoided exactly that mistake.
