How to Start a Mobile Car Wash Business

Have you seen those mobile car wash businesses out there in your city driving from parking lot to parking lot washing cars? Well believe it or not it turns out that is a very good business to be in these days. Since everyone owns a car there are lots of customers and it does not cost too much to get started in the business you see?

Some new entrants into the market place tell us that they got started for under $3,000 including a trailer, tank and pressure washer which are the main components needed to start a mobile car wash business. Home Depot has small trailers on sale for just under $1,000 which can work and there are pressure washers, and you will need a good one too for under $700. Home Deport even has a credit program, one with no payments for six months you see?

Getting the plastic water tank is not too tough, you can look in the phone book under agricultural equipment and find the nearest place, which sells plastic tanks and I recommend 100 to 150 gallon tank. Next you will need the obvious, such as chamois, towels, squirt bottles and products.

It is best use professional grade products as they cost less per ounce and you can also find these in your local phone book under; Car Washing and Detailing Supplies. If you really want to start a mobile car wash business, may I ask what you are waiting for? Oh one last thing, it is hard work, but once you get going making $200 per day gross revenue is fairly easy and you will have those killer days where you make much more. Consider this in 2006.
