I love to call from the Craigslist ad`s for detailers and see what kind of answers that I get...helps me to realize just how to handle my prospects, and not sound like a snake oil sales person...

Today I called on one that states that he has a 5 year paint sealant....its Perma Plate that they put on...tells me all about how I won`t have to wax for 5 years...asked about swirl removal...he tells me that they remove them with a special machine...and guaranties that they will not come back...I questioned the machine...Porter Cable he says that spins in a different direction than any other buffer.

I`ve called a few others but it seems like across the board that most detailers that I talk to are so hungry for business that they are willing to knock the service of the others, this guy did it...talk in detail type terms where I can see would baffle the average person.

I have a very straight forward approach to what I do...talk about the car, ask about general condition and then go off that...or see that car in person....if they ask about what I use then I tell them, coupled with my 30 plus years of hands on experience...if that doesn`t convince them to want to work with me then I don`t care.

I do at the end of the job and I`m turning the car back...I will point out what I have done...and then why I am different than the other detailers in the area...I haven`t lost one customer.

Yeah right! And tomorrow the Pope will marry and open a condom shop! I`d LOVE to see that guarantee in writing!:dnaughty

Very nice and professional. If I would have to look for detailers, the 30 years of experience would do it for me.

That`s the reason I put that down along with reference`s no one has ever asked me for them...but I have plenty

Well I suppose if you buff it with the machine that move in a different direction (PC LOL) and put a sealant on it, cover it, place it in a controlled climate storage and never wash it it may last for a few years...

I give you credit I would have argued with him...

Yes, I admire how this guy explains to the uninitiated his detailing "magic". He probably even uses those magical towels with billions of tiny fibers, developed by those brain surgeon-NASA scientists. The researchers call them "microfibers". And don`t get him started on those high-tech devices the professionals refer to as C.L.A.Y.B.A.R.S. ...:rofl
