If you are an auto detailer perhaps you've noted that it's taking you far too long to clean a vehicle and still charge a low enough price to stay ahead of the competition. When we are in a recessionary period there tends to be a lot of bottom feeders, or should I say low-cost high-volume competitors out there. Often they will discount a detail to $100 or less, something that might take you to two-and-a-half to four hours to complete. I've always said; the money is in the time not the job, and you can increase the efficiency of your workflow, and if you can cut the time it takes to do a quality job by 30 minutes, you may actually be able to compete at a similar price point.
Further, when the market returns and everyone raises their prices back up due to supply and demand as everyone is busy, you will be able to do your jobs faster and make that much more money over the competition. This allows you to take more work, pay your auto detailer's better, and completely reduce your turnover as the competition tries to steal your best detailer's away from you. One of the easiest ways to increase your efficiency is to get a mobile work stand, put all your supplies on it, and keep it next to the car you are working on, rather than continually walking back and forth to your van, trailer, or pick up.
Indeed, I can remember when I first started detailing airplanes out at the airport I had a portable box with big industrial wheels on it. I would tow it behind my bicycle because I was only 12 years old with no vehicle, and I would park it right in front of the aircraft I was working on, and it actually had signage to help advertise while I was cleaning. This worked out very well, and I was more efficient than even those aircraft detailers working out of their own hangar.
As my business grew and we started cleaning fleets of vehicles, we put our buckets on wheels as well. This allowed us to go very fast with the 18 inch wide soft bristle brushes. It also saved our backs from having to pick up the water bucket over and over again, and it made it less awkward when trying to pull the pressure washing hose and wand along as we cleaned. The bucket was on wheels so we just kicked it along with us as needed. All of these strategies work very good for auto detailing too. So if you want to increase your efficiency, you need to be thinking here. Please consider all this.

The Benefits of Getting a Handicapped Accessible Vehicle
Times have changed and fortunately, that means that things have become better for everyone. This is true especially for people with disabilities. Most handicap people nowadays have learned to adapt to the modern times. Disability is no longer a hindrance to achieving success. In fact, studies show that the treatment for both normal and people with disabilities is not so much different.
This does not mean you cannot go out of your way to make things easier when you see a person with a disability. Many still appreciate little gestures like offering assistance. It may be as simple as opening a door, helping them make a difficult turn, or even a helping hand.
This change paved the way for the introduction of products and services that make things easier to people with physical handicaps. More companies are contributing to the development of new technologies that give even those with disabilities an equal chance at succeeding. Here are just some of the benefits you get from such vehicle:
Additional Storage
Family members with disabilities require the use of bulky and heavy equipment. This makes it even more important to have a vehicle that has additional storage space. You need a sizable amount of space so you can bring everything and not require an additional trip. This makes travelling with the rest of the family members easier. This way, there is no need to limit the things they can bring with them on a trip.
Bigger Movement Space
Your vehicle will have ample movement space, making maneuvering inside much easier. This is important especially if you are driving longer distances. The long trip can become tedious sitting down in just one area. With additional floor space, the person can stretch and move around with ease.
Ramp or Lift Access
Ramps are an ideal feature in any handicap-accessible vehicles, more so for people using a wheelchair. Vehicles with ramps make it easier to get inside and outside the vehicle without leaving the wheelchair. Most mobility vehicles now have automatic ramps that retract back for an easy setup.
