i need more room in my van so want to get rid of bulky 4kw generator. I need 4kw to boot up my 1.5kw pressure washer.


Answer
The current required from the battery will be 4000 watts / 12V = 333 amps. You will need very large wires to the inverter. Even running current 1500 watts / 12V = 125 amps. Is the alternator in the car capable of supplying this much current to keep the battery charged? I suspect you'll be hard pressed to make this work with the stock alternator. Upgrade the alternator and battery and you may have a chance.
Perhaps you could mount the generator on a trailer hitch carrier to free up space within the van.

What equipment would I need to start a mobile car wash?

I know that I need rags, brushes, products etc. What I dont know is what do I buy to get the water to wash the cars, like what powers the pressure washer, etc


Answer
Most people use a gasoline powered pressure washer. You can get water either from a long hose ran to a nearby building, or you can get one of those large water tanks, usually 90+ gallons. Most people mount the pressure washer and tank combo to a small trailer, or inside a large work van.

Then, like you said your soaps, cleaners, waxes, polishes, chamois, a vacuum, interior carpet cleaner, a brass brush, a ton of rags, etc.
