    I`m legit!

    I`m counting the days until "the man" I work for is myself. I went to the clerks office and filed my DBA today. I`m now Mobile Magic Auto Detailing. I`m not quite ready to go fully mobile as I still need a generator, but this kind of forces myself to get the business up and running. I`m now also an XPel dealer as I wanted something for income in the winter months. I`m selling my Mustang and as soon as I do that trading my Focus for a Ranger, which would be more versitile. I can`t see towing too much with a Focus. For the mobile guys, can you post some pics of how you set your vehicle up?

    Honestly unless you are going big on the office park front, i wouldn`t invest in the generator. Most people would rather let you use their outlet than have a generator running. Congrats on the step, i hope it works out for you. Did you purchase the x-pel application guide software??

    You have to be trained at the company headquarters in San Antonio to get that, you also have to buy a plotter. Total cost of training, plotter, airfare, and hotel is around $4000. Now I just purchase the precut kits at a discount and have them shipped. I`ve got connections at a couple dealerships so I`m going to start small. As I see I have a steady stream of work, then I`d get trained and invest in the plotter. As for the generator, I can get one through my friends dad discounted. I`ve got a couple connections at office parks so I`d definatly be using it. I live in hillbillyville so I have to travel to where the money is.
