    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    keep at it and they will come

    eventually the ones looking will see the light (at least that`s what I`ve been telling myself the last 3 years)

    Well looks like I will be adding another hellcat to the detail books

    This one tri coat black, my absolute favorite Mopar color

    And has 965 REAR wheel horsepower on the juice

    Auction ended up at 500 (1/2 of our clubs Entire goal)

    That`s a lot of backpacks for local kids fixing to start back to school. Pretty cool if you ask me.

    I`m not much of a Dodge fan, but those charger hellcats seem like a fun daily for a family. If only they could get them on a diet and get that weight down. I`ll be awaiting more pictures of it, beautiful color.

    Anything with 4 doors and 700+ hp might be a fun daily, lol

    I think we have all been there. I`m by no means always busy, but there is a very large Mopar show in Dallas at the end of August and I think half of our car club wanted me to detail their Mopar before that date, so I closed up shop for the general public and booked all of my days off with cars I`d rather be doing anyways- an idealistic goal I had placed in motion a few months ago.

    It`s a struggle for the most part, however I no longer even do basic washes unless you are an existing client. It`s just a waste of my time and money personally. Back when I was getting started, that`s all could get though. I guess it`s kind of like paying your detailing dues. (not that I have fully paid mine, but I have definitely paid a couple at least)


    how are you trying to get clients?
