A mobile detailing equipment list built around your work
Choose your services, available water and power, budget, and the equipment you already own. The builder groups the equipment needed for each service. A missing power source or an unfinished wash kit stays visible.

With the default mobile example, the buy-now planning allowance is $537. It covers 20 items. These are category allowances, not product quotes. Change the inputs above to fit your work.
Owned equipment is excluded from new spending. Buy-next items and optional upgrades remain separate. Use the payback action to carry only your buy-now allowance into the business calculation, then add your other launch costs.
For onboard water, use the Water Tank Planner. For specific products, check the dated sources in the product library.
