History
Every client, every vehicle, every job — in one record.
Every booking gets re-scored against the conditions it'll actually run in — not a generic forecast.
Safe band 60°–80°F (per service)
Cap 70% before coatings struggle
Air-to-dew gap < 5°F → condensation likely
> 50% triggers HIGH automatically
When a confirmed booking flips to HIGH, you get an alert with the failing factors so you can call the client first — not after they're standing in their driveway.
See what changes when you swap scattered texts and weather guesswork for a system built around how detailing actually works.

Most mobile detailers assume services aren't taxed — and in a lot of states, they're wrong. Here's how sales tax actually works on detailing labor versus the products you leave on the car, why 'lump-sum' versus 'itemized' pricing changes what you owe in Texas, which states tax detailing outright, and why not collecting the tax means you pay it out of your own pocket at audit.

The single largest tax deduction a mobile detailer can claim is sitting in the odometer, and most operators underclaim it. Here's the 2026 IRS standard mileage rate, the home-office rule that turns 'commuting' into deductible business miles, the standard-mileage-vs-actual-expense decision, the mileage log that survives an audit, and the self-employment tax that ambushes new detailers.

When the sky goes orange, two things land on every car in your service area: abrasive ash that etches clear coat the moment morning dew activates it, and PM2.5 smoke that soaks into the cabin and won't wipe out. Here's the chemistry most detailers get half-right (no, wet ash isn't 'drain cleaner' — it behaves worse than that), the rinse-first wash protocol that prevents a correction callback, why ozone is the wrong first move on smoke odor, and how to treat the Air Quality Index as a go/no-go scheduling variable that protects your paint correction work and your own lungs at the same time.
