So I'm not trying to be nosey, I'm just kind of curious. What's the highest tip you have received for detailing a vehicle?   My highest was about $20. Thanks. -AquaHawk  

Kind of a stupid question, but, I'm curious how you guys price your buffing, like compound, polish, wax jobs. Do you Estimate or do you have a fixed price?

Hey there, I just got off the phone with Yellowpages and I talked to them and it sounds good and all but now I'm having second thoughts because it is so expensive per month. (like 360+ dollars for 90 people viewing my page monthly) I'm not sure what to do, has anyone done this before, is it...

I already know how to increase traffic, but not sure the best way going about it, really. On Godaddy it offers, for 40 a month, 10 clicks and 1 phone call, website and email. But it offers to advertise on Google, Yahoo and Bing. Or should I go with AdWords? I'm kind of stuck on how to advertise...

So I was wondering what is the best way to remove pet hair from upholstery and carpet? I seen something about rubber gloves, but seems that there maybe a better trick. Would on of the Porter Cable attachment brushes do the trick? Anything would help, thanks.  

So how do you guys wash in the sun? I mean, I don't think every guy I go to is going to be in a shady area. If I just have to do a wash, there would be no point in me setting up a tent. (or pulling it into the guys garage, if he has one) So how do you guys do it? How do you guys wash in the sun...

I've been reading a lot of this information on here and some I get, but some I really can't comprehend even if I read it over and over because I can't understand the lingo. My whole problem is the pads, when do I use them and switch them, and what types of pads to use on certain scratches. Also...

These questions are a little personal about your business, this may not be I. The best section. In Winter time, do you still have consistent work, or does it still seem pretty regular? How do you price for your area? I think my area is a little "rich" so should I be charging a better price...

Have you ever had anyone compare your prices to other shops? My prices aren't even unreasonable, yet I sometimes get compared and loose business. Anything I can say to them if they do this? I've been using Craigslist; maybe their just trying to find a deal.

How do you advertise? I don't have a website, but I'm thinking about getting one. Only thing I really do is pass flyers and business cards and post ads on Craigslist. I'm not going full sail yet, but will be soon. Have you found that your business had increased since opening a Website...

So I was just wondering what should I charge for a Polish and Wax (had another thread about this, lil different) And what does it consist of? I seen Meguirs Polish and then I seem a bunch of different polishes. What's the difference? This is really the only thing that confuses me a lot...

I quoted somebody, for a cargo van that only has 2 seats, that I'd shampoo their seats and steam their interior etc. and I'd polish and was and wax his car for $150 is this a good deal? Or did I cheat myself?

Okay, so for Interior so far one price I have set is $150 for full interior detail. Includes. Steam clean cracks, dirt, leather, headliner. Clean Leather & Condition and/or Shampoo all upholstery. (seats, side panels, carpet.) Clean console Clean dash Clean all windows with...

Hello, I have detailed a car here and there and do a pretty good job at it. I have been wanting to start a business with my bud but I am stressing out at the prices I should charge. Okay, for interior only detail, what should I charge? This would include, Vac, Shampooing of carpet and seats...

Well what is the difference? I mean I can imagine that it does probably cost less in fuel right? But why not just get another generator that is 5000w for less? Why is the EU2000i the best choice?

Okay, I have... 55 Gallon Tank Electric Pressure Washer 1/2HP Transfer Pump (hook it up to the Tank to the Washer) (Lots of products) All I need is a generator right? I have other things like shampooer and a vacuum, but for my Pressure washer to tank set up to work, I just need a...

Sorry if I have been "blowing up" the forums recently, I am just really interested in this all and I really need help. Okay well I have so far (besides products, etc.) A 55 Gallon Tank (Probably will upgrade in near future) 1900 PSI AR Electric Pressure Washer, Shop Vac, 1/2HP Cast Iron...

Hello, I seen prices on details and they are like a range from 100 to up to 400 I seen, but If I just wanted to charge lets say 100-150, what is that? What is a detail? I mean would I polish, paint refinish, clean inside and out, for that price range or just in general what would a detail of...

I just got done leather conditioning my first car and didn't charge a ton because it was a relative of mine but, it took me literally 3 1/2 hours to do. Why did it take so long? Is this the normal amount of time it takes. Usually people charge more for Shampooing than conditioning, but far as...

I have just one quick question. What do mobile car detailers usually have with them when they go out on a job? besides products. But like Gas pressure washer, generator, tank and air compressor? Is that about right and how is it all set up? Thanks.
