    Well the guy hasn`t called. I`m just reading around on the forum lol. I don`t know how you guys keep your clients from screwing around and putting it off...

    I had a guy like that recently, said he had to reschedule due to emergency, never heard back even when I texted him a few times. Funny part is that this guy was asking that I do not screw HIM around because he knew a lot about what I did detail wise....but he also tells me he takes his car to the local quick hack shop for a buff every three months....huh???

    Lol!! That reminds me of something that really P$T me off. A few people with cars in MY lot have seen me washing cars. One guy with a Yaris and another with a Sebring. They both told me they see I do such a great job on the cars in my lot. So they ask for a card and they say they want ME to take care of the car instead of the local Swirl Center. After they got really dirty I noticed BOTH of their cars were cleaned. WTF!!?? Lol, and neither of them talk to me about detailing anymore. On a side note, everyone that does have me wash it switches to me because they can tell I`m better. The guy with the Mercedes had me wash and wax his red one a few months ago so at least I`m preferred. (He just sent a message like "oh sorry just looked at my phone maybe tomorrow" hopefully this time he will?)Also have this lady with a red Malibu close to my car. I put a note with my number in case she would like me to clean it. Every time it gets really dirty she takes it to the SC every time I see her she rushes into her car without saying a word and drives off. Lol. I just get too many oinker doinkers that act serious about it but they either weren`t or think they don`t need it after all....

    Mr. Slick just be careful of being to pushy, cause even if you are the best in the area if you`re to pushy you will push them away. I`m not saying you are or aren`t, only you can know, but just want you to be aware. I`ve given out almost 400 business cards this year and talked to people of what I do and I am better than the in town quantity over quality shop and they like the personal care but I`ve gotten less than 10% to come. In time I know it`ll be full time it just ain`t fast enough for me. Lol

    On the other end of the stick is the customer, who calls and leaves a message and gets no return call. Or calls and for some reason the person answering the phone either can`t or won`t give you the information you are asking for and makes no effort to engage in any information sharing conversation. I realize that it is a PITA to deal with people that are just "kicking the tires" but sometime somehow you have to figure out which ones are really potential customers. When I first talked to Brendt at 512, we talked on the phone, he invited me to come to his house to look at my vehicle, we talked about products, I looked at the results of his work on other vehicles, we talked about price and we entered into an agreement on what, when and how. It was a positive experience and we have now formed not only a professional relationship but also a friendship.

    Oh I already did one of his cars a while back. He`s a tire kicker but at least he does it eventually. It`s just kinda annoying when all my clients do this at once.

    The 30ml wax from DODO too small for my hands,
    So a transfer to a 4oz container





    The Light fantastic soft wax went in nicely with an
    Ice cream scoop, 3-30mls roughly 3oz.
    The Purple Haze and Hard Candy being hard wax
    Dropped in whole, and I can pick them up to easily rub on a pad. 2-30mls each.
