    Beater brought back from the grave

    This Toyota is owned by the father of one of my maintenance clients. He just moved from California to Georgia and wanted his truck cleaned up. He didn't want to pony up for a two step polish but I told him he'd be very happy with a one step. He also wanted his wheels polished. I started the...

    What do you think of this for a uniform?

    I want something more than just a screen printed tee shirt and jeans or shorts. A uniform that will stand out, be unique and eye catching as well as professional. What do you think about using these coveralls during the winter and cold weather? During the summer I will use the Dickies brand...

    **oops, wrong section. Meant to have this is the pro b&a** I rarely post up work but this car was a special case. Every once in a while I get a call for something like this. Those calls where once you get there and eye ball the ride you wonder how they can let it get that far. I suppose...

    Dealership ideas

    I have spoken with a few dealerships and had a great response from them. In my experience, if I knew I had the means to actually care for them as they needed(3-5 employees and the funds to pay those 3-5 employees for 5-6 weeks as well as supplies) I could get the accounts. I recognize that it...

    Something makes me feel better than anything

    As a business owner you run into all types of clients. Fortunately, most are great to deal with. Every once in a while you run into that guy who you've got "that feeling" about. Like maybe he's going to be hell on earth to deal with. Maybe I am just tooting my own horn but there's something I...

    m105 as a replacement for SIP?

    Would m105 make a good replacement for SIP? I just ran out of SIP. If I need to spend the $$$ on Menzerna I will, it's good stuff. But I keep hearing about how great m105 can be to use and it doesn't cost as much. Thanks as always fellas.

    First time I had an issue using painter's tape

    I was doing some paint correction today on a z3. There was an issue with the clear on the trunk lid. It looked like it had some oxidation. But it wasn't rough so I was not 100% on the exact issue. I tested the clear and it read between 100 and 110 microns thick. So I knew it was really thin...

    A very nice alternative to the Honda EU generators(EG 2800)

    I've had my eye out for any of the Honda EU generators on craigslist for quite some time. Any time any of them pop up for a good price they are gone in a few hours. Last week a guy was selling the EU3000is for $900. I saw it in the AM and it was gone before I could get to him. :hmph: I...

    ozone a car(how much$?)

    A small higher end car dealership called me up not long ago and asked about having a musty smell removed and interior detailed on a 2009 Rustang. I am not sure what to charge for ozoning a car. Should I leave it in running over night or just an hour or two with the a/c running? To be honest...

    I will have a booth for April 22, "earth day".

    A very large property that I have a contract with is having an "Earth Day" event on April 22. The tenant services manager asked for my company to set up and participate(OF COURSE I WILL!). She is aware that I recycle waste water and as of this week I also use ONR. She could see why my company...

    Marketing in a phone book

    Have any of you mobile detailers marketed in a phone book? If so, what kind of results did you get? Where I live, there are no legal mobile detailers. There are mobile guys washing cars w/o license/insurance and not recollecting their waste water. But nothing legitimate in my area other than...

    Let me show you how the pros save headlights

    A lot of guys try to hide the work that looks bad. This guy advertises it. Craigslist could supply us with too much material to laugh at. But I thought this was notable. Auto Headlight Restoration/ Detailing
