David, did you leave him a business card with a note on the back telling him you can PROFESSIONALLY polish the swirls out for him.

Better yet - When I get customers that don't want to spend $$, I refer them to him. :laugh:

Hmm, think about it this way. They are probably creating business for you.





Seriously though, we shouldn't hang around in gangs laughing and pointing at lesser educated detailers. Live and let live, people. Lets be nice.

Yeah! Lets do an intervention. Then we can all hold hands and sing before we have a Coke. I'm sick of these guys and seem to see more of them popping up every day. No knowledge base, little experience, sub-par/minimal supplies and usually a great line of $hit. I've repaired their work many times for a premium above my regular charges which includes my 20 minute dissertation to the customer on what it takes for a proper detail. I love cars and just hate to see a hack job done by these knuckle draggers. :cry:

You know that would be a hilarious way to market a business though. Should have a "BEFORE" decal on the bad side, and an "AFTER" decal on the shiny side. lol



:idea



:chuckle:
 
fortunately Scott your work and many others on this site need not worry about the hacks out there your work shines above the run of the mill detail.
 
C'mon at least try a little to look like a pro!! :nixweiss

those are the guys that post on craigslist and stuff.......<<<<<<<<ANY CAR ANYWHRE FULL WASH, CLAY, WAX AND INTERIOR DETAIL $75.00>>>>>>>>............. I E-mail them all of the time when i see ads that are ridiculous asking them there process and what materials they use as well as how long it will take......i usually get a stupid response like THE BEST MATERIALS OUT THERE and MY PROCESS IS A TRADE SECRET or A COUPLE OF HOURS UNLESS I HAVE A HELPER THEN ABOUT AN HOUR.......LMAO......
 
^ What refrains you from following such garbage to a light and smacking the **** outta them.



I don't detail professionally, I still want some more experience before I take the risk of jacking someones car.



But how much easier is it to boast your work and promote sales by having a nice blemish free vehicle Plus the fact that your vehicle is your office.. Dosent it feel better to have a neat organized and prefected office.. I swear I'm OCD
 
Makes my old set up look good!

I can count on 1 hand the # of times I've shown up to a detail in a dirty car, and all but 1 of those times were repeat customers and the other was a referal, so it wasn't too bad.
 
I'll give you credit blue sun..



At least you tried to maintain some organaztion to your disaster in a trunk...



You didn't just throw it in there like the rest of the yahoo's on here..



And besides in your trunk no one sees until you open it. If you got a half covered tarp of what looks like piles of items your hauling to the dump. You have issues
