Everybody knows the effect that the winter season can have on your car detailing operations especially if you have a shop with the lease over-head and not much work coming in.  Furthermore, the combination of the season, a weak economy and a recession going on in New Jersey.  Many shop owners have thrown in the towels. Having a shop has a lot of growth opportunities but in a time like now and knowing something this bad would happen.  I remained mobile.

I still work through the winter months even if temperatures are at freezing point but it's all about preparing and knowing how to navigate through these harsh months.  Now of course if it's below the 32 degrees, then clearly i will use a rinseless wash or just do an interior but dealing with water is not really the main issue.  The issue here is knowing what you can handle in terms of temperatures.  Working in the winter is not for everybody and you have some detailers that just say "oh hell Nah".

Winter is my least favorite season but it's a great opportunity to showcase to clients how well set up your business is.  The bills don't stop so if you can navigate through the winter months easily and work comfortably then why stop?  This video gives some insight into some of the outerwear i recommend as well as equipment to do winter mobile detailing.
