    Water containment?

    I am curious to how many of you use or don't use such a system during your details. I am not familiar with the laws regarding this here in Florida and have not been using anything since opening my business back in February. For those of you that do, what exactly are you using to contain your...

    Wool pads?

    I am looking to purchase some wool pads. I'll probably either purchase from autogeek or proper auto care. The ones Autogeek sell are of a wool/foam combination and the proper auto care ones are wool/acrylic. I think both are made by Lake Country. Anyone try any of these and can possibly offer...

    Service Menu?

    Do you guys feel it is necessary to have a professionally designed brochure type layout to give to potential customers with fancy graphics, or would a neatly typed out pamphlet be sufficient?

    How many of you put your bus. cards on cars?

    I know some of you think that it is a bad idea to do such a thing. Same goes for flyers placed under the windshield wiper. With that said, I am still contemplating doing this.

    Cleaning wheelwells and backside of rims?

    I'm curious to know how you fellow pro detailers out there go about cleaning these areas of the vehicle. For the wheelwells, I use either the Mother's wheelwell brush (red handle), or a microfiber towel if the space is too tight to fit the brush into. For the backs of the wheels, I use the EZ...

    Service menu?

    I have been currently using the menu setup that I received while attending the Detail King seminar in Pittsburgh. I never really liked this menu from the start and felt that the design and layout left alot to be desired. Also, when looking it over, it is almost like reading a small novel. Way...

    Best single person canopy?

    I purchased a 12'x12' Quikshades canopy from Lowes yesterday and upon attempting to erect it myself, I ended up bending one of the legs.
