Purchasing Your Equipment

Car detailing makes a very good and efficient first time business. You can get started without having to buy a lot of fancy, expensive equipment.

The very basics are:

  • Pressure washer
  • Wet/dry vacuum
  • Bucket
  • Wash mitt
  • Towels
  • Small soft-bristled brush
  • Upholstery brush and towels

You can buy these supplies from any hardware or automotive parts store.

Once you have a good idea of what you are doing in your car detailing business, consider buying some more advanced equipment. Buy equipment that is more specialized and so you can be certain that your business is well established enough before making a bigger investment in new equipment.
