Do you like cars? Are you a fanatic about the appearance of your car? Do you pay attention to details? If so, then Mobile Detailing might just be your next side hustle.
Mobile detailing can be a full time career all by itself, but for the purpose of this article we are going to look at a scaled down version that could be your next side hustle. Lets dive into the details.
You need customers, equipment, and supplies. Lets talk about customers first. Look for customers that will give you access to water and power supplies. This will eliminate the need for a generate and water tank. Next use Craigslist’s to create an advertisement to attract customers. Also, share your mobile detailing on social media. Never discount the power of a referral to increase your client base.
Now lets talk about the equipment. You will need a pressure washer. You want a handle wand combination that allows you to add a bottle near the nozzle. This will allow you to add chemicals and use the pressure washer just like you were at a car wash. You will also need some way of drying the car. You can use a blower or sham depending on your budget. I would encourage a blower to save time and provide your customer with the best finished product. Remember washing and drying are the corner stones of auto detailing. Next you will need a vacuum for the interior. I also suggest developing a travel bag full brushes that will allow you get into every crack and crevice. Rags will be needed for cleaning surfaces. A buffer will help you provide a professional polished end product.
How detailed that you get with this side hustle is your choice. You need to find the chemicals that work best for you in the most cost efficient way. I highly suggest reusable rags, shams, and brushes labeled by how you use them such as interior, rims, or drying.
Perfect your craft on your car. Share the finished product on social media. Schedule your appointments and be on time. Also, offer multiple forms of payment such as PayPal, CashApp, or just cash.
