Quick answer
What is the best invoicing app for a mobile detailing business?
Mobile detailing is invoiced in a driveway, often on a phone. A detailer needs packages and add-ons priced up front, deposits for coating jobs shown on the final invoice, a record of each coating for the warranty, and a way to bill maintenance-wash customers every month. Daily Invoice Maker does all of that offline. $149.95 once on Windows, Mac and Linux; the Android app is sold separately on Google Play.

Watch it work
Photograph the work, invoice it, get paid the same day.
Built for the driveway, not the office
You work out of a van. Your invoicing should too.
Packages and add-ons, coating jobs with deposits and warranties, fleet accounts, and maintenance-wash customers every month.
The old way
Shiny cars. Scattered records.
- Package prices quoted from memory, add-ons forgotten
- Coating warranties with no record of what you applied
- Booking deposits tracked in Venmo history
- Maintenance-wash customers billed whenever you remember
With Daily Invoice Maker
Packages, coatings, deposits and plans in one place.
- Prep, correction, coating and interior as sections with subtotals
- Paint readings, products and cure notes saved per vehicle
- Record the deposit; the invoice shows the balance due
- A recurring schedule bills each maintenance-plan customer
A day in the van
Four detailing jobs, one app.
Every screen below is the real app, filled with an example company, Gleam Mobile Detailing in Tampa, FL.
Booking · Ceramic coating quote
Prep, correction and coating, line by line
Decontamination wash, one-step correction, the 5-year paint coating, wheels and glass and the leather treatment, each priced in its own section, with tax, your booking deposit and the aftercare in the terms.
Coating day · The record
Paint readings and products, saved for the warranty
Log the vehicle and plate, paint depth before correction, how much swirl you removed, the coating layers and the cure. If the customer calls in two years, the record is under their name.
Same day · Final invoice
Add-on in, deposit out, sent by text
The back seats were full of dog hair, so the add-on goes on its own line. Record the booking deposit and the invoice shows the balance; send it by WhatsApp or SMS from the driveway.
1st of the month · Maintenance plans
Maintenance washes billed on schedule
Coated cars need maintenance washes. Set each customer's plan once and each month's invoice is created from the schedule, ready to send or set to auto-send.
Build your price list once (packages by vehicle size, correction stages, coatings, add-ons like pet hair and headlights) and every quote after that is a few taps.

Questions
Mobile-detailing questions, answered.
What is the best invoicing app for a mobile detailing business?
Daily Invoice Maker handles detailing packages and add-ons, deposits for coating jobs, a service log for coating records, recurring billing for maintenance plans and invoices sent by email, SMS or WhatsApp. It runs 100% offline: $149.95 once for the Windows, Mac and Linux app, with a separate Android app on Google Play, and no monthly subscription either way.
Can I send invoices by WhatsApp or text?
Yes. Send an invoice or estimate by email, SMS or WhatsApp straight from the app, or share the PDF any other way your phone supports.
Can I keep records for my ceramic coating warranty?
Yes. A Service Log entry takes your own fields, such as vehicle and plate, paint depth readings, correction level, coating product and layers, and cure notes, saved under the customer with the date.
Can I bill maintenance-wash customers every month?
Yes. Create a recurring schedule for each customer with the frequency, service line and price. Each invoice is created from the schedule, ready to send or set to auto-send.
Can I attach before and after photos?
Yes. Attach photos to an invoice or estimate and they print inside the PDF, which helps sell the next job.
