I own a home remodeling business - I have never cut a piece of wood or hammered a nail on one of my jobs. I sell kitchens that average at $50,000 and I could give the person paying for it enough info to be completely sold on using my company. I couldnt compete the work myself though. My staff tells me things like, " I used 6 screws in that cabinet", and "I used mahogony shims to line up those cabines" - the customer simply doesnt care. If I wore the customer out with those details, they wouldnt use me. The people are buying the fact that I can schedule and manage the team that does the work. I schedule the project, I present the dependencies, I execute the agreed upon plan. Thats all. They see videos and pictures of the end results I produce and they are happy.

Too much info is sometimes not good for business.

Agree 110%

When I started reading posts on this Ã¢â‚¬Å“Professional ForumÃ¢â‚¬ I assumed most of the listros responding are ProÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s with a full time business. I would say most are young enthusiasts or single owner / operator business. Not a issue although I have to keep that in-mind when responding. This Forum is more of a hands-on attitude!!!

There isn`t much of an argument against him on the business side of it. However, Autopia has a lot of hobbyists on it as well...

Noticed he was using sonus ultra fine clay, I love that stuff.

thanks!

Yeah I noticed that too, it seems that alot of the british use plastic high profile plates

I`m still using the standard backing plate that came with the 9227 machine

Works fine

If you watch the video clip again, notice that Fifth Gear mentioned that he`s the "World`s Best Car Cleaner". Car cleaner? Hmm...sounds like conventional car wash to me - as long as it`s clean. I guess he`s not facing many competitors around in UK, that`s why he dares to do such marketing. I think most of the Autopians could do much better job, considering most of us are detailing daily drivers. That`s my opinion...
