    After you helped make the paint look better than factory, flawless

    for some , what intructions do you give to the owner, so that

    someone or something does not ruin:scared your hard efforts?



    How do you keep the Autopia Angel:up (sorry, couldn`t find any smiles with wings!) watching over your Master Pieces?



    Would you make this guy:grrr a happy camper if the owner brought his/her car to a "Touch less" car wash?



    Thanks for everyone`s advice

    I think professional detailers would serve themselves greatly by:



    1. Creating a pamphlet that describes how to properly care for their car (weekly washing, drying, vacuum...)



    or



    2. Offer a basic maintenance kit that contains proper products (wash shampoo, Q-detailer, towels...) and instructions so they can maintain your masterpiece of work.



    If anyone is interested in working on this, I will provide the instructions and kits. It should be a great up-sell to any detailing business.

    I`d be interested, David. You can certainly write the pamhlet better than most of us.



    The meager attempt that I use starts with a bold "Safety First!" to remind them to adjust mirrors, seat, etc. before driving away. It also offers a "Refresher Detail"within 120 days at a substantially reduced cost...



    I look forward to meeting you next week!

    Jim,



    I`d be happy to provide a tri-fold pamphlet detailers can use to print locally. I have a format I use in Word, Publisher and Adobe Illustrator. If you have a color laser printer you can print your own, otherwise you`ll have to go to a Kinkos or a printer.

    I`m on board for the tri-fold! That would definitely be benefical and a win-win situation for the customer and myself.

    I think that most printers can print tri-fold things. Since all you do is print the one sheet. Re-insert the page, and print the other page. Pretty easy..





    I`d like some of these too please. Thanks in advance.

    Maybe David would be so kind as to stick that pamphlet as a resource in bettercarcare.com?
