that peg board looks awfully lonely

that feeling when you put 7 different wheel brushes in your mini soap bucket and end up only needing to use one

I may have a problem, lol

My wife`s car is parked on that side so I left some room to open the passenger door.

Been there! Done that! Especially taking like three and only using one brush, but still taking the others a few washes later I realized I didn`t need the other two...

I want to go to the local car sales and see if they need a detailer.... But I should probably get one of those business license thingies.... Oh and the tax thingie your supposed to have...

Hey Slick, just make up some cards that say you are a member of the National Auto Detailers Association (NADA) and a whole bunch of make believe "Accociations", no one checks out references. Lol

Check out Mccormicks auto Auction in Palm Springs. It`s going to happen 3 days in the end of November. If I can get my stuff together I can detail cars for the people entering....

Anyone else on here in Palm Springs?

Coilovers finally installed. I did the fronts yesterday and the rears today due to the heat in the garage. Took awhile, but it was my first time ever doing suspension work myself so it`s something to be proud of.



Should settle a little more and be about where I want it.

Nautical- You have to wait for the settling before you realign it?

Yep, I`ll drive it a couple hundred miles before adjusting the height if needed and getting it aligned.

I don`t like to be solicitey but sometimes is pays to talk. Or type....

About a month ago one of my clients had a friend with him and he gestures to me he says "This guy is the best detail guy I`ve met" (I love to hear that, it never gets old) we talked and the guy has vehicles. Plural. That means one client, multiple jobs. I have a client/neighbor like that. Anyway I was walking by his place and saw the Streamer we talked about and a red jeep hooked. It looked dirty so I sent him a text and he was interested. Tomorrow Morning I`ll walk or drive over and talk about it. I must have been at the back of his mind because he didn`t contact me. Sometimes if one of my clients cars are dirty in our complex I`ll call and see if they`re interested. Usually they are. Also the guy I detailed a Mercedes for had a Honda SUV I washed. A few days later I just vaguely mentioned that I do headlights. I scheduled it for the next day. That simple. Moral of the long story is move those lips!! You can have some really nice gear like me and still not make much money (to be honest I only average a car a week or less) I need to keep moving my lips when it comes to customers. Or I can make it easier and just hand out brochures....
