    I like to know how is mobile detailing is run. I don't want this to be full time or anything yet.

    tools im still missing are

    Paint meter

    Power washer ( electric ones )

    wet vac , (any homedepo is fine)

    steamer (vx5000, vapor chief, and vapor chief 180)

    extractor (mytee)

    CR spotless

    generator

    a large vehicle to carry those stuff, plus other chemicals. im think a scion XB?

    should I go with PW or vapor chief with ONR? i wanna be as complaint as possible. which mean PW will need water mats and that takes a lot of space.

    how do I get a business license?


    what kind of insurance I need for mobile detailing?
