I have an 8yo car and 10yo minivan to detail as they`re on the way out the door and we want to get maximum trade-in value on them.



I asked my father how much the detailer was going to charge altogeather to get both vehicles done.



He said about $300.



I asked if the guy does as good a job as i do.



No, not really. Just wash wax and way too much armorall on everything.



So, i made a deal. Buy me a PC, pads and the products i need to get the cars looking good and i`ll do `em for you plus i`ll have the stuff around for next time.



Deal. :getdown

Dad knows a good idea when he hears it.



"Buy me the correct tools and have them forever" vs "let some shmuck do a half assed job for more money"



Between the PC, sonus pad set and assorted products, it stil costs less for a better job.

Management and Labor working together using capital to establish a return on an investment. A truly good business practice with entrepreneurial potential.



I see real potential for you in years to come. Keep up the good work!!

Wouldn`t it be nice if everything were that easy?! :)

Have fun and get some extra dough for the cars.
