How to Build a Mobile Car Wash Truck
Many people like having mobile detailing companies wash their vehicles. It's convenient because they don't have to drive to a car wash. Building a mobile detailing truck won't take a lot of time. The most important thing about building a mobile detailing truck is knowing where to put everything.
Things You'll Need:
- Enclosed Trailer
- Straps
- Truck
- Truck Canopy
- Dolly
- Stickers
- Purchase an enclosed trailer to haul your large supplies. The truck will be used to haul smaller supplies. Make sure the trailer is capable of hauling heavy equipment like power washers and water barrels. There should be local dealerships that sell enclosed trailers the size you're looking for.
- Install a canopy over the truck bed. This will help protect the cleaning supplies from the weather. You probably won't be detailing many vehicles in the rain, but it will still provide nice protection. You don't need anything fancy, just a simple canopy that covers your truck bed. Make sure it's high enough however to haul all the supplies.
- Strap down all the large pieces of equipment in the trailer. You don't want the water barrels or pressure washer rolling around inside as you’re driving. This could be very dangerous and cause a lot of damage. You should have no problem finding straps at home care stores.
- Make sure you have a dolly either in the trailer or in the truck bed. The dolly will be use to haul the water barrels because they will be very heavy and awkward to pick up.
- Hire someone to design stickers to put on the sides of your truck and trailer. This will serve as a form of advertisement. Make sure you can clearly see the company name and contact information.
