@@kiking9260 I still see it on Amazon for that price. “Pressure washer quick connect kit” I have a McKillans now and definitely worth the extra money. Honestly, everything in your pressure washer setup deserves spending the extra money, truly transforms the experience. But these work great too, just use some teflon tape and tighten pretty well.
Josh I have watched your videos for 9 months. I started getting the Ryobi 1800 pressure washer with a Uber flex hose and Adam’s pro foam cannon. I got Ridgid 4gal 5 hp and the rip clean setup. Ridgid 4.5 5hp pro pack with detail hose set. Maxshine 15m pro green polisher. And I do use Koch Chemie Pol Star and Green Star. I like Carpro Perl for interior dressing , tire and engine. IK 360 for and IK 32 Oz and IK pro 2 foamer for wheels. I like Adam’s wheel, car shampoo and car detailer. Rag Company clay ultra clay scrubby and towel. Auto fiber dry towel and microfiber towel and rag company microfiber towel. I really appreciate all your hard working that you’re doing it’s really appreciated thanks. Stephen from Florida ☀️
I think it’s great that you do this for budget starter business or home DIYer. I have some very expensive tools and cars and other toys, not afraid to spend a little money, but sometimes there are certain RUclipsrs (OCD Matt) out there that feel that you have to have the top of the line commercial grade stuff just to detail your own car effectively. Idk, my $100 sunjoe power washer does a really good job on my 911. I have spent decent money on some products (ego blower, Dewalt cordless polisher, etc) but these are necessary, just convenient options
I lucked out and bought both my pressure washer and vacuum under $80 combined. Just saw some hyper tough pressure washers for $45 at my local Walmart, for those in the market for a budget friendly one. Hope this helps someone.
I've been watching your video's for about a year!! Love them I now have a wall set up withe the Ryobi electric power washer with flexible hose and power reel,mjjc pro 3 cannon,cut my work in half,I've been detailing for 40 years now keep up the video's!! Thanks Jan
Thanks for the information. Saving up for a beginner kit. binge watching all your videos. And definitely ordering from your site. everything in one place.
I have been thinking about starting my own detailing business for about a year now. Still nervous on pulling the trigger. I have been watching A LOTT of videos. I came across your videos. Night and day compared to other videos. The detail you go through on EVERY post is awesome. I'm in Arizona so I'm nervous about the direct sun on HOT days. Anyway, thanks for the tips.
I have tried a few different drying towels on my r250 super duty and the Platinum Series Twisted Terry Super Absorbent Car Drying Cleaning Towel, 2 Count, Red, Gray 1000gsm from Walmart work phenomenally well, and are only $10 for two towels. Not super big but do the job. I have 4 of these towels and have not had to use more than 3 of them drying both my truck and my wife's van.
Thanks Josh. I don't have a Costco near by and they charge for shipping regardless if you're a member or not. Grabbed those towels before they went up in price.
I bought the Grants towels after the other video about them and man I love them. I used to buy the Costco ones but it’s so convenient to just picked the grant ones up and go. They are edgeless and tag-less. Not to mention I like the way they feel better than Costco’s. But Costco ones are good to 👍
Really? I did notice some lint but for me it was not much at all. But I also have not washed them. Maybe after the wash they will not drop any or maybe more haha. Time will tell.
That vacuum would be great if the "auto winding" power cord actually worked. It's frustrating as hell, I have to keep mashing the button over and over while trying to force the cord back in. A feature that should be a time saver ends up being the opposite.
I have the 1600 psi version of that greenworks pressure washer and I use it every weekend to do my motorcycle and my girlfriends car. It does just fine. Had for a year now and has been great. I have 2 cheap foam cannons with the smaller orifices and upgraded the hose and got chemical guys pressure wand and it's perfect for the diy guy.
Great video. I recently used a clay mitt and it was soooo much easier and faster than normal clay (and I have a bunch of normal clay kicking around). The speed and convenience is well worth the $20-30 cost.
Can you do a video on the basics of starting, like copywriting your company name, insurance, the types of business, Sole proprietor, LLC, that sort of thing. I know you did a video touching on it, but this is where I am at and it’s very confusing.
Josh has the same price after shipping at least if you live in cali. So if you want to support him, might as well get it through him. His shipping is 2-3 days, so it's also as quick as Amazon. Either supports josh or jeff bezos🤣
Didn't see it mentioned but a small ozone generator placed in a vehicle for a couple hours will effectively remove a multitude of foul smells in a vehicle without labor intensive removal and cleaning of the entire interior.
Hey josh, also can you make a review video on air fresheners? I use them For my customers but I am not sure if maybe there is something better/ cost effective. Thanks! Great videos man, love them!
Hey bro, honestly having a van/ truck is more for convenience. I did it out of my 04 mustang for a while and you just have to organize yourself more. Buy smaller/ smarter products. Like he has mentioned some products have dual purposes which means you carry less of them. Also it takes longer to load and unload everything, but it works lol. I would just recommend upgrading when you get a chance 👍.
@@brianchavez9208 wow out of a Mustang that is unique and I also had an 04 mustang way back in the days, and did u eventually got a commercial pickup or van for your business ?
This was an awesome video. I have done detailing before. I detailed friends and family vehicles. I’m no longer on social media, so how can I get customers. I have almost all the products I need and could possibly go mobile. I just don’t know how to advertise in this new culture we have. Signed “got products but no customers”. Help
Really enjoy your videos! Starting up a mobile detailing business as we speak. What's your take on getting a pop-up canopy? Waste of time or worth it? Like a 12 ×12 or something. Live in Michigan so only really have 3-5 months to mobile detail anyways, cause Michigan weather sucks 😂. But was wondering what you thought about them. Thanks for all of your videos. Its my go to when I have detailing concerns and product reviews.🤘... Just to be clear, to stay working out of direct sunlight. Thanks!
Some items might cost 8-10 dollars more on amazon... however... amazon will ship most of the time for free.. and if you are prime you will have the product in two days or less... that is where amazon wins... we all know shipping cost are dumb now and time to get the product is important...
Yeah Josh, if I’m not mistaken, you’re in California? Try starting a business in CT, in the Northeast, where it’s freezing cold, wind blowing, and trying to detail a car in those conditions, without a garage? Ain’t happening! Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s the truth? I just bought a 21 Acura ILX, and I can’t wait to detail this car? Especially the paint. Like I said though, it’s not happening in this climate, without a garage?
I’m also in SD..I was wondering if you had a B&M that way if I order from your shop, I could just pick it up instead of having it shipped. Instant gratification and all..lol
For pocket suit would you recommend it to someone who been in mobile detailing industry for 1 year but still don't have that much revenue? Oh what other app would you say can work for beginners
there are free sources you can use but I love pocket suite for thee ase of use and the fact that it has everything i need in 1 app. I would say its worth it, but they have a 1 month free trial so it may be worth checking out that way.
Somebody can help me out pls? I got a Bosch Aquatek 140 and the original hose is a nightmare but dont know can i replace to a Uberflex or even i need to buy some type of adapter to replace the original hose. Somebody with experience can enlight me? So faar i buy it a MJJC Foam cannon with a bosch adapter and a long lance to wash my car but plan to buy a short gun to but before that realy need to swap out the original hose.
Lol, I'm a detailer at a dealership so I've gained and used the skills, but money to start a detailing business is a bigger pain to me than having to learn from people on RUclips, such as pan the organizer or obsessed garage like I did. Pain in the butt to buy stuff for a whole detailing process bc it always costs like 150$ just for the wash process or something, led alone paint correction having a entry of at least 150$ usually. I love this topic literally just told someone about how I need to get my own detailing equipment to build a business 10 minutes before I saw this video on my feed
@@dansanders340 You just proved my point. Dealership detailers are the worse in the industry for a reason and guess why, it is not because of the products they use.

Looking for tips
Thanks for the information. Saving up for a beginner kit. binge watching all your videos. And definitely ordering from your site. everything in one place.
A+ for keeping the list with affordable items to start . I recommend the Home Depot Rigid vac kit for $99 includes the detailing hose kit.
Absolute steal right now at $104 for the 4 gal 5 hp vacuum plus the car detailing kit included.

U can save even more money: Garden hose with nozzle works well too, also ONR on interiors . Walmart's Platinum 2 pack Drying towel for $10

This may sound dumb but temu sells pretty good detailing stuff as well got a foam pump sprayer for 8 bucks and works just like the ik sprayer
Can we get a 1 month update 🔮
@@hectors535 it's still going great I also bought a foam cannon and put a 1.1mm orifice and it foams up very good

go to a business resourcing center at your local community college
I Would say a pump sprayer but not that one i had it and had to send it back it wouldn’t stop leaking.
Best videos!!! Thank you man 🙏🏼 every time I see your videos I get motivated and learn a lot!
Also Costco has a sale going on with a shop vac! It’s 5 horse power and pretty nice! I believe it is like 69$
You should do a vid reviewing Temu detailing products
If you have prime green star is actually cheap than other places. 2 day shipping included. Other places are charging $13 or $9 for shipping.
