Thanks Barry. Means alot. And I tell ya taking the stress out of trying to run a volume shop has really made a huge difference for me. I like being able to take the time needed instead of having to worry just how quick I can get it out to get the next one in. I don't make near the amount of money anymore but I find it much more enjoyable this way and I stated before this year was my time to really up my game. I think it's paying off. Really wish i didn't drop my camera though. Makes taking the close up's impossible right now to capture the reflections the way I want. Might have to switch back to the P&S Kodak I have. These details I've gotten lately have really made it fun for me again. I love pushing myself to get some new skill I didn't have previously. Trying out new processes and various product combo's for both exteriors and Interiors. The lincoln was my first attempt at using woolite on leather. I think for lightly soiled leather it's a good way to go. Obviously this was a bit beyond that. But a bottle of woolite is about $4 where as the current product I'm using is closer to $65/gallon and the emulsifier I have is over $250/bottle. I like getting the results I can the cheapest way possible to my wallet. But don't take that wrong. if I don't get the results I demand out of myself then out comes the cash until I find something that does work right. And lately there have been a ton of great new products that aren't out to rob you of your profits that are working great for me. I think once I get to the point that I like I'll try to get into a shop again with employee's and teach them how to be me. I've gotten tons of offer's lately on really great locations But I'm not at a point just yet that I want to get back into all that. Maybe next year.
