If you saw my desk, you wouldn't say I was organized though...  mgm121499-I didn't start taking pictures until I had been detailing a few years. I had a customer who designed and installed custom decks and he took pics of the decks he built and suggested I should do the same. Glad I listened! JJ_-here is how it stacks up:
1992-23 cars
1993-56 cars
1994-288 cars
1995-545 cars
1996-932 cars
1997-1145 cars
1998-1074 cars
1999-1067 cars
2000-885 cars
2001-839 cars
2002-836 cars
2003-876 cars
2004-837 cars
2005-594 cars so far
I was washing a lot of cars in 1997-1999 which is why I was well over 1000 cars those three years. The weather was horrible in 2000 and I dropped a couple of the weekly wash customers at that time because they weren't reliable and I didn't have enough time to do details. I've got 5-6 cars to do tomorrow, at least 3 on Saturday and probably another 10-12 after that through the end of the month on Wednesday, which would put me at around 80-85 for August. If the weather is reasonably dry the rest of the year, I will probably do around 320-350 more car the last 4 months of the year, which would put me over 900 for the year. Having my boys helping this summer was a lifesaver, we ended up doing nearly 120 cars in June!
