I'm not too worried about that. You give somebody a couple of good products, doesn't make them a good detailer.

Re: I made a video.

I found it rather interesting. Defiantly a lot of marketing hype. and a lot of slamming down on the local competition too LOL. I think it was put together beautifully. Is that going to air on local television in some fashion? All in all I think it's very effective and if nothing else should be on the home page of your website as a great opener for new visitors

slamming down on local competition? I think it will just be on my website for now.

Re: I made a video.

You didn't mention any names but yea several times in there you mention how inept the other detailers in the area are and how they miss things. (ie. the boars hair brush to all the jambs and then the 180* tire rotation) It's not a bad thing I do it myself throughout my own website. It's a funny thing to me. it just made me chuckle when it came up.

Re: I made a video.

John,
I think that the vid is fantastic. I also purchased a vid to do for my shop. However I have been putting it off due to lack of ideas. After seeing yours I have some ideas, but I feel like I have a long way to go. Great facility , by the way.

What do you think of Car Pros "Blue Ice". I use some of their products like "Ultimate Cutter" at my shop, but I have not tried any of their dressings.

Re: I made a video.

Thank you!

That Blue Ice by Pro, is the only product I use from them. It dries really nice and even, and lasts quite a while. The other products I have tried from them have been a bit of a dissapointment, but I haven't tried the "ultimate cutter".


John

It is not the best, but it has it's place. I like to think of it as Megs #95, with a little less cut. It also has very minimal dusting which is what I really like about it.

Again, good luck with the video.
