Seems like this section of DC is a little slow, and if we (as pros) want to grow and grow we must learn from eachother. So, i thought a thread of lessons we have learned from being "in the field" would be a great way to learn from eachother so that we can make less mistakes and more money :) I...

Anyone know how I can make/print nice coupons/gift cards? Thanks :-)

I have a customer who wants me to detail his car at his golf club. I would set up my tent at the golf course parking lot and do the work there. My only question is would the Golf Course/Country Club managment mind me doing this?

I am detailing a 1995-ish white Saab tomorrow. The paint is in OK shape but not the best of shape. I would usually use Poorboys with my PC (SSR 2.5 or 2 with green or yellow pad at 5k-5.5k speed). Wondering if maybe i should try something else on older model cars with ok but not great paint...

I own a mobile detailing company and have been going strong for a while. I use poorboys most of the time for exterior detailing with my PC. Sometimes i need to detail a car that has TONS of swirls and poorboys sometimes doesnt cut it (i love poorboys btw). What else can i try with my PC that...

How many of you do this? Going door to door, from what i have heard, can be good money. How do you approach each customer? Is there a certain time of day (or day) that you go? I would assume you would want all the cars to be home so going during working hours may not be the best idea. Just...

I am going to be using my pc for the first time on my mothers camry. Its has a nice amount of swirls, and the paint isnt in the best of shape. (im using edge pads).

Whats the difference?

whats the difference between poorboys ex and exp?

If your trying to get swirls out with (for example) ssr 2 and there are still some swirls, would you go with ssr 2.5 or stay with ssr 2 and use a more aggresive pad on your pc? If you use ssr2 on a pad, can you use ssr 1 on the same pad?

Anybody have/use these pads? Whats good and bad about them versus using a backing plate?

I am going to lowes tomorrow to pick up a pv 7336. Does this come with a backing plate (and if so, it good for detailing?). If not, which backing plate should i get? If anyone has a link that would be helpful. And which pads should i get and from where. Thanks!
