Hi everyone! I have been an inactive member for some time now and am coming here to become more active again due to.... A - buying a new car i love and enjoy detailing (2015 Red Ford Focus ST) and B - I need money and have decided to create a detailing business again... I had one in the past but it was very vague and I needed to borrow customers electricity and water in order to go to them to complete a detail. I will have 5,000 dollars for a vehicle expense and roughly $3,000 dollars for equipment / supplies... (more or less depending on what all is needed)
Can you guys chime in on the list of products / equipment I need or recommend any I may have missed? I would surely appreciate it....
Parts I currently own...
*** DA polisher 'meguiars' purchased about 11 years ago.
Parts and equipment I am planning to buy...
***Generator (not sure what one..... or what wattage rating... ?)
***10x15 canopy (down the road I want to have 2 x 10x15 canopies but think 1 will be fine to scrape by a new business)
***Rotary Polisher (I want one to use as practice as my ultimate goal is paint restoration and I feel a rotary is needed on more aggressive type of work needed)
***Pressure washer
***WATER???? I don't know what to do here as I don't know how much water would be required for the work I'm trying to do? I'd prefer to focus on detailing mainly AND maintenance washes for customers.... (I don't want to do 'only' car washes to people who don't have me detail their car,....... OR DO I?)
***Pads, hoses, polish, sealants, many many other liquid product I will buy but for now I'm wanting to get an idea of what I should buy initially? Thank you guys so much for any input
Thanks again!

p.s. I have a website in the making... an instagram IG: josher_paint_care also have about $500 dollars for advertising whatever I decide to use it for I still don't know.
