I was wondering if any of you have tried NP adverts. I'm thinking of advertising in the ride's section in my local paper, comes out every Thursday. Also I'm going to send out some direct mails to docs, lawyers, dentists, realtors, etc...

Do any of you use pop up tents? Do you work in direct sunlight? Do you try to find natural shade? Just wondering, as some products don't fare well in direct sunlight and I was wondering what my fellow detailers do to combat the sun. thnx

I don't know what happened but I can't seem to get this marring out of my vw golf's clear coat, maybe I'm being much too anal. I have a metabo rotary, pc 7424, edge 2000 pads, Optimum Polish and compound, ssr 3, 2.5, 1, menzerna IP. I just stopped trying cuz the optimum polish and any pad combo...

Well I just picked up my Honda EU2000i generator, nice little piece of equipment. I'm looking for a good extractor for mobile use. I'd like something with at least 100" but prefer 120" of water lift. I don't like what I've heard about the DURRMAID, and the aztec looks similar just relabeled. The...

What are you using? I'm interested in buying a Honda EU2000, it's small, quiet, and will run for 4 hours at rated capacity on 1 gallon of fuel. I found a place locally that has them for $950, cheapest I could find. What do you guys think?

I'm currently in the market for a small generator. I'm very interested in the Honda EU2000. I've found it locally from a dealer for $950, does anyone know if this is a good price? It's the cheapest I could find locally. Anyone have one of these generators? It's small and easy to carry, plus it's...

I would like to save all my customer information and assign them a cutomer reference number, for promotional business cards and the like. Anyone know of a software I could use to do something like this? Like Greg Smith would be customer # 01001 and Mike Simpson would be customer # 01015. I would...

I was detailing my gf's step-dad's black dodge ram today and I used my edge 2000 pads and my metabo rotary. I was using a green pad w/ ssr2.5 at first cuz there were a lot of scratches in the paint as well as some major swirlage. I toned down the scratches and some of the swirls, but it wasn't...

I'm moving to FL in a week and a half and have decided to take on mobile detailing FT. I have most of the equipment and will order a business stock of supplies to start out when I get down there. I'm working on making professional fliers and will have business cards made when I get down there...

What do my fellow autopians use to fully remove your old sealants and waxes? Looking for something quick and efficient, not too costly, and won't stain trim. I know I'm asking a lot:p

I was looking thru my harbor freight mailer today and saw a refillable aerosol can for $10. I thought to myself, bulk tire dressing would go great in one of those and would probably use less product than a manual trigger type dispenser. So I went over to the newly built HF in my area and...

Background: Well my GF and I have decided to move from NJ to FL,and I've decided to make the decision to start my detailing business full-time. I've been working as a salesman for Snapple for the past 4 years, been with the company for 6 years, and I've about had it with corporate America. I...
