Na, That's just the interior. I really do a true thorough job. Since I I'm not certified and don't have the money
to get the rotary yet (just starting out), I'm not offering a full detail. I have a PC w/
Wolfgang pads but it doesn't do work like a rotary.

I read about that one. You had the cops come out for theft of service because he did want to pay you in full. I tell everyone exactly what I do ,in a detailed manor to avoid confusion, in my brochure.

What if someone came to your house to clean your carpets with a shop-vac, a bucket and a scrub brush? You would not see him/her as professional, and the results would not be of professional quality. You would also not approve of him charging you more because he did not have the proper equipment to do the job in a reasonable amount of time.

, The bucket, shop-vac and scrub brush is pretty much my line up for now, aside from a nice array of products. I really don't have heavy duty equipment. I understand the part of not taking me serious when I have the right tool for the job.

Good luck!

Thanks for the good luck. The vomit, blood and pet messes are included in the clean-up. I do EVERYTHING when I detail a interior. I have sort of a ocd thing when detailing, I like to go above and beyond. I like the
factor when they see their car again.
