In fact, since you are going to the customer&#8217;s car, you have to bring all your supplies with you, actually everything, including your own source of power and water. Not long ago a mobile detailer, well actually a future mobile detailer asked me:<\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;Do you use generators for the electrical tools?&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, we do use generators, generally Honda, due to their quiet, low-maintenance and reliability attributes. You need a minimum of 2500 watts, I recommend 3000 because a 5-6 hp. shop vac is really killer for vacuuming and sucking up waste water and pumping it into a holding tank or shrubbery, as you cannot allow it to enter the storm drain or water ways.<\/p>\n<p>Also with 3000 watt you can go to an electric pressure washer, saving you from having two motors on-board or you can go 2200 -2500 watt and get a 5.5 hp pressure washer. But if you are going to clean big fleets, you&#8217;ll need to go with hot water (Landa &#8211; type skid unit, check the various brands out) and 2500-3000 PSI. I&#8217;d skip the big bad buffer syndrome, way over rated, if you are going to do that, stay with auto detailing, keep prices high, go for only high-end big ticket customers. That is a totally different business, this is why we separated them out for instance;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CarWashGuys.com<\/li>\n<li>DetailGuys.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You see, once you determine the way in which you want to run your business and the type of equipment you&#8217;ll need, well then you can determine the size generator you&#8217;ll use.
