First day of Pristine Detail.

Whew was it a hot one! 95* and no shade anywhere. oh well. I did 2 basic washes and a hand wax. Washes on an '06 Durango and '04ish CRV. Both Charcoal Gray. Did the hand wax on a BMW 645Ci. Nice work, unfortunately, I left my friggin camera at home!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well. We all know how to wash cars, so I'll leave that alone. Today was my first and probably last time doing a hand wax. I think i'll up my price $10 or so and just put the PC to work with CCS green pads and OPS! and to think, I almost didn't bring any waxes today, thinking i would only do washes! Made $105 in ~3.5 hrs, could be better, but it will come when I get methods down.

Re: First day of Pristine Detail.

Sounds great for a first outing! $30 an hour ain't too shabby if you ask me. I hope you take off and make money like a mad fiend.

Success stories are my favorite.

You're starting to think, and now you are seeing how well it works in business to do just that.
To many people just get in a business/job type rut and become repetitive in there endeavors/job. Sometimes they do stop to smell the roses to speak, and find out the basic secret to success which is what you experienced, thinking!
The "days" success should make you think harder about what you need to make more money faster. Just a PC and a mere $10.00 increase will not cause much of an upturn in your income! If you intend to follow this career you need to breakout all the way as soon as possible by going up to a rotary and the PC/Cyclo (Cyclo is my recommendation) and practice, practice, practice until you are not only good/great, but fast. PLEASE do this before you touch any customer cars as a lot are doing to there sorrow!!

Business is actually a situation of "supply and demand" on a lot of fronts/situations.
Example: Do a great job (supply), and demand will follow, (word of mouth), etc.
Do a lousy job and "demand" will end your existence and income in whatever business you do.

There is a hell of a lot more to business but this should put you on the right track, it's all up to you.
The best, Changeling

I'm their FedEx man. I pick up at the office everyday. I've really pitched to the people on my route, and they were the first to bite.

Re: First day of Pristine Detail.

Changling you're right but what would you say to says law? Supply creates it's own demand

Sorry all just a bit of economic humor...
