Make Mobile Service Easy ⢠High Quality ⢠Fits Fortador PRO Max Steamer
When you design your mobile car wash business, a great option for transporting the equipment is a trailer. A trailer gives you many choices at a reasonable cost. Planning out your trailer based on your car wash and detailing needs is the key to success. Letâs learn a bit more.
As you are driving on the public roads to your customers, your trailer will be a moving billboard to promote your business. Having your trailer wrapped in vibrant colors draws attention to your business. You can wrap all four sides with your phone number, website or QR-code. Let the marketing machine work for you!
Having a well-designed logo can make your business look more professional. Some trailer or truck-based businesses overlook this opportunity. A professionally-designed logo is within reach. You do not have to go through traditional routes to get your logo. Marketing firms can be expensive.
Think about friends or family who may have the talent to design a logo. Workers at tattoo shops are another area to look for logo-design talent.
Trailers between six and ten feet work well for a mobile car wash. A single or dual axle trailer will ride well based on your equipment. Consider the long-term needs and growth of your business when you select a trailer size.
Most enclosed trailers have plywood flooring. For a low cost and simple upgrade - vinyl garage flooring is a great solution. This type of flooring is available in roll form and is easy to install- you simply measure and cut to fit with a razor or scissors. The floor can be put down with adhesive or simply laid down after being cut to shape. This will make the inside of the trailer look more professional and will protect the plywood from detailing chemicals and any moisture.  To really protect your investment, you can apply a waterproof wood coating to the underside of the floor too.
â
Plan out your interior layout. You will need to carry equipment and supplies in your mobile car wash trailer. You and your crew will be getting in and out of the trailer. Consider the ease of accessing the supplies and equipment when you design your car wash trailer setup. The following are items and fixtures you can consider in your setup.
You will appreciate having a work station in your trailer. This solid surface can be used to prep cleaning agents, stage materials, work on your laptop and invoice customers.
One of the most effective ways to deliver the cleaning agents to the interior and many times, the exterior of a car, is a spray bottle. You can easily have six to eight spray bottles in your van. The racks keep your spray bottles from falling off a shelf while you drive from job to job. You and your staff will appreciate having the bottles organized and ready to go on a specialized rack.
Water is the primary ingredient for cleaning cars, trucks and recreational vehicles. We recommend a 26-gallon water tank. This is enough for eight hours of work. You will find easy hook ups to the steamer. The Fortador steamer will efficiently use the water for the car shampooer, steamer and other cleaning functions that require a water mix.
The best thing is that you can expand as you need. These tanks are relatively inexpensive. You have the option of buying one tank and another one later as your business grows.
With this washing service, you will be working around engines and flammable materials. Being prepared with a wall-mounted fire extinguisher will keep you prepared for any situation.
This is where you can be creative to meet your needs. There are great bin systems on the market for your car wash trailer set up. A great option is to install a modular system that includes vertical strips for the bins and other accessories to hang from.
You will need larger bins for dirty towels, rags and microfiber cloths. Small bins can be used to house replacement parts for your equipment.
This is optional, but you may find it handy. Some people who do car detailing and washing appreciate having a mobile cart to take out of the trailer. This cart can easily be maneuvered around the car or truck as you work. This can bring efficiencies.
Mounted racks or shelving can be a lifesaver. You may want to consider a modular system so you have flexibility and options. We suggest racks and shelving with lips and high edges to keep things in place as you drive.
If you choose a non-modular rack and shelving system, take the items you want to store and use them as height measurements between the racks and shelves.
Prepare to beat the sun. You can install an awning on the side of your auto detailing trailer. This allows your team to stay cooler and potentially protect the vehicle. You also have the option of a pop-up tent. Depending on the size, this can protect your staff and the car or truck from the sun.
Both options have pros and cons. We recommend you choose one as the sun can be an enemy of auto washing.
â
Auto detailing and washing also involves vacuuming. To keep the interior cleaning going efficiently, you can get extra reels of hose to extend your vacuuming capabilities. Being able to reach every part of the car you need to without physically moving the car or your trailer can make for a better cleaning experience for you and your team.
Hanging this additional hose on racks will add to the organization and ease of access in your trailer.
Interior lighting can make things easier to find and add to the safety in your trailer. You can get energy efficient LED lighting strips that plug into your power outlets. There are basic hanging light options also. We recommend some sort of lighting.
Having the option to power on exterior lights on your car washing trailer can be a great choice. Sunsets can be early or late, depending on the time of year. You can extend your work day with lights. There are permanently-mounted options or on-demand temporary lights for your trailer.
Some cities and counties have EPA regulations that do not allow water from a car wash to make it to the curb or drain. There are good and reasonably-priced systems available. This could also be a marketing opportunity to include being eco-friendly on your trailer wrap and your brand image.
There are a few more things to pick up as you prepare your trailer.
⢠Extension power cords up to 150 feet
⢠Latex gloves if you choose
⢠Brushes for engine bay cleaning
⢠Brushes for car wheel cleaning
⢠Brushes for carpet and seats cleaning
⢠Electric motor for use with some brushes
⢠Buckets for rinse, wash and wheels
⢠Additional cloths
⢠Disposable hand towels
â
Choose the option that works best for you
Most people choose a high-quality generator. We carefully reviewed many models of generators on the market and recommend the Honda Silent generator.
This super-quiet and lightweight generator is perfect for your mobile car washing business. The Honda EU2200 fits the needs for your mobile trailer car washing business. See why it fits so well:
â
⢠You get over 7 hours of run time on .95 gallons of gas
⢠There is a two-tiered noise dampening system so customers and neighbors are not disturbed
⢠It is portable, so you can be flexible on job sites if you need
⢠You can feel confident with its safety back up that automatically shuts off if the oil levels reach an unsafe operating level
⢠You get two receptacles to keep your jobs going.
A modern power option could be a roof-mounted solar panel. This eco-friendly choice provides efficient and effective power for your equipment. Your solar-generated power is easily connected to outlets for you to plug into. Run with the sun!
If you choose this power option, be sure to include that in your trailer wrap. Differentiating your business by using solar power can bring a new set of customers.
â
The Fortador Powerbank is an innovative solution for power in your trailer. It allows you to work with a load of up to 3000 Watt. You have options to charge it by connecting to a standard 220V socket or solar panels installed on the roof of your trailer. The Fortador Powerbank comes in three size options. The small and medium sizes should fit your needs in mobile car washing and detailing.
With the Small 3.2 kw model, you can work up to 10 hours. Power up your steamer and finish your job with ease. You can connect multiple devices at the same time if necessary.
If you need a little more power or you do extended jobs, the Medium 6.0 kw model may be for you. This model provides up to 20 hours of continuous use. You can connect multiple devices to complete jobs efficiently.
Fortador prepares you for the basic and advanced jobs. Ceramic coating is a growing and lucrative part of the mobile car care market. Many factors contribute to the deterioration of the exterior of cars. UV rays, dirt, dust, acidic bird droppings, road chemicals all cause harm to cars. Some of these can damage the exterior, and some also dirty the interior as they are harmful to the vehicle.
â
You can protect customersâ cars and trucks with the Fortador Ceramic Protection Kit. It is a comprehensive three-stage system. This system fully integrates with the Fortador steamer as you will use it for cleaning and preparing the exterior and interior. See brief recap below.
â
⢠Stage 1: Apply the activator primer with the application pad. It is an easy process where you massage the product into the body of the car. This product prepares the surface for the Fortador ceramic coating.
⢠Stage 2: Apply the Fortador coating. The kit comes with an applicator where you will apply a thin layer of coating in a circular motion.
⢠Stage 3: Protect the interior. After steam-cleaning the interior with the steamer, simply spray the Fortador interior protection to all the dry upholstery and all other surfaces you want to protect.
Your mobile car wash customers will be impressed with the quality and long-term protection.

The Fortador PROÂ Max is best for high-volume mobile car washes. This diesel-powered car detailing steamer is an all-in-one solution with high capabilities.
Steam pressure is a differentiating factor when considering a car detailing steam cleaner. The right pressure allows you to effectively remove dirt, stains and debris. The PROÂ Max steam pressure operates at 295 PSI.
Some car cleaning jobs require a detergent to effectively eliminate stains. The Fortador PRO Max has the ability to deliver two different detergents at the same time. The detergent tanks hold one gallon of each detergent. The versatility and flexibility of this system has many advantages that you will acknowledge on the jobs in the field.
The PRO Max car steam cleaner comes with an extractor. The extractor is very effective for cleaning car seats and upholstery. Using an extractor also decreases the drying time so the customer can get back in his or her car and drive sooner.
Shampooing the interior of the car or truck surfaces is often necessary. The PRO Max has a shampooer that works hand-in-hand with the extractor.
For surface preparation and dirt removal, the PRO Max comes with a wet-dry vacuum. With any car interior steam cleaning job, vacuuming is recommended as the initial step.
The PRO Max comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen that provides all the operating information to keep productivity high. You can easily monitor water, detergent and diesel fuel levels. The steamerâs key operating measures, such as boiler pressure, burner adjustment, filter cleaning and hour meter are always in sight. Interact with the screen to control your steamer.
The Fortador PRO gives you up to 232 PSI. This is more than enough for washing and detailing cars and trucks. If you need a little more pressure for truck beds or other unique areas, you have it ready. Preheating time is only 2-7 minutes.
This allows you to start your jobs as quickly as possible. It also provides high quality steam pressure at the right temperature. You get the three-gun capability and the same advanced touch screen with key operating displays as the PROÂ Max. Stay in control!
The boiler tank holds approximately 6.5 gallons of water. The diesel engine tank holds about 4 gallons of fuel. This steamer has the ability to hold two detergents with two one-gallon tanks. This can add efficiencies in the field.
If you already have a separate vacuum, extractor and shampooer, the PRO will complete your car steam cleaner system. The steamer will be the primary cleaning tool in your business. Both models have a large number of accessories available.
Owners are continually impressed with the low cost of operation of the PRO. With o.15 gallons of water per working hour, you get 25 working hours per tank.
Amazing customer service to Canada.We are very happy to work with your team.

A steam cleaner for cars is the go-to piece of equipment in car detailing. When you start telling customers how much you can do for them, they will be amazed. When you thoroughly clean all of the areas possible with steam, they will be impressed by the results and want you back.Steam is safe and effective across almost every surface in a vehicle. The right commercial steamer will have flexibility and capabilities to do steam, car shampooing, detergent cleaning and other features.
There are really two categories of procedures or methods when using a car steam cleaner. Cleaning with steam as the primary agent is the one that often comes to mind first. Here the steamer is used with different gun ends and application techniques. You will use the steamer at different angles and distances from the surface. You will also use micro-fiber cloths and other cloths to follow up and cleanse the surface of the dislodged particles, stains and debris.
Extraction is another cleaning technique. A high-quality professional car steam cleaner should have extraction capabilities. Extraction is seen by many as the best technique for carpet and car upholstery. Here you will use extraction ends to inject and extract water with or without cleaning agents from the seats and upholstery. You will see the soil and particles as they are extracted.
A car shampooer is another feature some professional steam cleaner for cars have. This additional level of cleaning is often necessary for soiled carpets and interiors. The Fortador Pro Max steamer has all the capabilities you need for steaming, extracting and shampooing. That is important because you never really know what level of soil and dirt you encounter on a job until you get going. Get ready to clean it all without haste with Fortador.
Snow foaming is a technique in which a cleaning foam is sprayed on the exterior of the car. This thick cleaning agent soaks deep in the paint, glass and other surfaces of the vehicle. The Fortador Pro Max steamer is capable of rinsing snow foam the wet steam mode. With two three steam guns, no need to change hoses or tank hook ups, just press Wet mode on touchscreen.. Check out all of the potential cleaning areas a steam cleaner can take care of!
Upholstery is the primary contact surface in a vehicle. Passengers sit on it, and it is the main focus when people ask, âhowis the carâs interior?â Steam cleaners can safely clean leather, fabric and other manmade materials. Steam cleaners can rehydrate and restore leather. Forleather, you can use a microfiber cloth. As you come across stains on fabric,you can use a soft bristle brush to get them out.
Cleaning seats with an extractor can give the best results. You will not only loosen dust, dirt and debris, you will powerfully pull it up from the fibers of the seat. You can use a shampoo with the extractor for the most complete cleaning job. After the car cleaning job is complete, you can protect the fabric from stains with a professional fabric protector if you wish.
Carpet fibers house dirt and grime. Effectively clean and sanitize carpets with a steamer. We recommend you remove the floor mats and clean them separately. While they are out, steam clean the exposed flooring area.
The Fortador PRO Max can deliver a cleaning agent through the steamer. The cleaning agent will soak, loosen the dirt and breakdown stains. Different climates bring different types of car mat and carpet stains. Northern climates are famous for salt stains that build and crust up.Many drivers give up and accept those stains. A steamer can dissolve the salt stains as it penetrates the fibers for a refreshed look. Bring on the worst and clean it! The extractor can then be used to extract the steam and cleaning solution from the carpeting
No need to use chemicals when you clean window swith steam. Clean exterior and interior windows streak-free by using the window steam tool. Donât forget the moonroof. You can use a squeegee and a microfiber cloth to easily remove the residual steam.
Cup holders get sticky and are tough to get in to and clean. Steam will liquify and dislodge pieces and stains and will easily wipe away with a cloth. Remember to clean the rear cup holders that may fold down from the rear seat armrest.
It is not always about just cleaning. It is also about a total clean and sanitized car. Take the items out of the glove box and put them in a zip lock bag. Flood the glove box with powerful and hot steam.
These areas get greasy and are often overlooked. Door jams can get scuffed and grimy as passengers enter and exist cars.Shooting steam into this hard-to-clean section effectively dissipates the dirt.Easily steam these small sections and wipe clean with a cloth. No scrubbing necessary.
Steam these large surfaces clean. Door panels can get scuff marks that may take a little more effort. Using a brush as part of your technique to reduce or eliminate these marks.
Keep the key operating components of a carde bris-free for the safest driving possible.
A dashboard is a high profile and focus area of a carâs interior. Dashboards house many functions and are always in front of passengers. Using steam to clean this hard surface works well.
You can keep vinyl and leather grab handles clean and sanitized with a car steamer. Keeping these clean in standard vehicles,passenger vans and busses is more important than ever. Feel confident in the sanitization power of a car steamer.
Just like a duct system in a home, the ventilation system in a vehicle gathers dust and dirt. Keep the air in the car cleaner by cleaning the ventilation system. Powering the steam through one section of the vents allows it to propel its way through the connected system. Showing customers this capability is always impressive.
Drivers and passengers use seat belts every trip. Seat belts are in constant contact with the people they protect in addition to the buckling and unbuckling. A steamer will blast and loosen dirt for easy removal.
Clean and sterilize this heavily-touched part of the car. A car steam cleaner will remove all the hidden dirt and grease that gets embedded in the steering wheel. Use a steamer on leather-wrapped and man-made steering wheels.
Cleaning the outside of shiny chrome or other metal exhaust pipes will keep these pipes looking their best. Clean on an angle to keep the steam from firing straight up the pipe.
This is another high-touch mechanism of a car. Clean it well with steam.
People load their groceries and many other items in these areas. Using a car shampooer on the carpeted areas and a steamer on the vinyl sections will keep these areas disinfected, ready for loading and showroom new.
Vinyl floors are common in cargo and passenger vans. Using a car steamer for this large area will remove the oil, dirt and other materials that get tracked into the vehicle. The powerful jet of steam will propel even the smallest particles that get built up around edges and seat bases. We recommend you remove the rear seats, if possible, for a thorough cleaning.
Steam sanitation takes on a higher importance here. Baby seats gather bacteria and become stained. Shampooing with a safe chemical and using an extractor will get the job done.
All that stepping to get in and out carries materials including shopping lot stains and gas station oil and gas. Using a steam cleaner is ideal for this sprawling surface.
Keep the power side mirrors free to adjust. Steam cleaning them will make them streak-free clean. Apply a ceramic coating for a lasting touch.
There are many areas on a car and truck where panels meet each other. The rear window meeting the side metal panel is an example. Using the steamer with the proper end blasts any small particles that collect there.
Spoilers are known to add style and accentuate the sporty look of a car or truck. Follow all the curves, edges and crevices of the spoiler. Portions of them are hard to get to and clean. Keep them clean with steam.
Use a cleaning or foaming agent if you wish. Steam is an effective and efficient way to wash any part of a carâs exterior. Â
Keep the front and back metal and rubber clean and shiny with steam cleaning. Applying the steam with consistent pressure will dissolve bugs and other things that have accumulated on the bumper. Use a protective coating, such as Fortador, to protect the bumper going forward.
Road chemicals, dust, dirt, brake dust and many other substances build up on car and truck wheels. Steam washing them will dissolve and easily remove these invaders. A steamer is the perfect tool for this area as it gets into all of the curves and crevices in what can be a labyrinth of a wheel.
Tires are a highly visible part of a car or truck. Along with the size and detail, the appearance and condition of the tires complete the style and profile of the vehicle. Raised white to black letters or details on a tire hold many particles that dampen and dull the appearance. A cleaning agent if often needed for tires. Use a steamer to compliment the agent for a 100% clean and showroom drive-off look.
There may be road chemicals, tar and other materials that build up in the wheel wells. Safely get up and underneath the wheel wheels with a steamer.
There is nothing like a clean and shiny engine. Engines become coated with carbon, oil and other greasy materials. A steam cleaner can restore an engineâs appearance to its near original condition. Steam is the right choice for delivering the right balance of heat and pressure. There are electronic components that run the risk of disconnection if a standard pressure washer is used.
You will want to use a cleaning agent and a degreaser for engines. The Fortador PRO Max steamer allows you to use up to two cleaning agents at a time to get the job done. With three guns, the steam function can be used concurrently with the cleaning chemical.
Remove the air filter cover and steam clean a dirty air filter to rejuvenate the materials. A cleaner car operation in on the way.
Keep the gas tank free of dust, dirt and grime with a good steam cleaning.
Emblems often complete the look of a car or truck. Emblems are large across truck tail gates and stand out on cars. Make them showroom-shiny as you get in between each letter with steam. No grime and all shine.
Grills make a statement as a car pulls up. Finishes from mat black to shiny chrome will all look impressive with a car steamer cleaning. Bugs and other road debris will all be blasted off.
Walk right up and get in the corners to clean a truck bed. No matter what it is used for, they all deserve a cleaning now and then. Debris of any kind, including leaves and small stones, will be blown and washed away with a steamer.
Nothing is out of reach of your steam cleaner for cars. There are many parts of cars and trucks that steamers easily reach that are otherwise challenging for traditional car washing. Steam penetrates and reaches every surface, regardless of the angle and shape.
Tar, tree sap, bird droppings, acidic rain are all things that can stick and challenge car surfaces. They can also challenge basic car cleaning techniques. Using a steamer can dissolve many of these invaders. They can be rinsed away or wiped off with a cloth when needed.
