  • Mobile Detailing in the Winter

    How do you go about doing mobile detailing in the winter? Particularly if you are located in a large city where people don't have personal garages for you to work in.

    I'm curious to hear your input.

    Not sure about you, but my area (CT) has tons of used car dealers, body shops, etc. While it may only be wholesale work, these places almost always have heated bays to work in. The wholesale work may not pay all that well, but it's decent income for the winter months.
    Or you could try to find somebody with a bay you can use in exchange for a percentage of your profit per job or a weekly/monthly rental if you have alot of work.

      ONR keeps me working till 35 degrees or so. I'm entirely mobile and I leave the house with 3 or 4 buckets of hot water. I won't usually break out the pressure washer in those temps. The hoses don't bend very well. Below 35 degrees and I sit at home with a remote in my hand. I should probably exercise more in the winter.

        Once you hit freezing temps I will be VERY cautious of spraying water as often will freeze and IMO can be a insurance/lawsuit liability.

          Bucket of hot water and ONR can clean in almost any temperature except when it gets down into the low 20s.
