SOOOOOO much better. I've drank 4 gallons of water and 4 containers of Pedia Lyte since getting home Friday afternoon. Still week though. I do have a huge appetite. I'll be back at it tomorrow. A local real estate office is having an open house on Tuesday. Eight agents wants their vehicles cleaned up before then!

Hey, thanks guys...I really appreciate the input. Bill, I'll probably add engine detailing as an extra side item. I just get a little nervous about doing engine details. I mean, there are so many little areas that can be caked with gunk and hard to get to. It seems like it would take hours to detail a dirty engine. How do you guys do it exactly? Do you just clean and dress the top areas, or do you do a full engine bay cleaning?

Justin, what happened to you? I didn't know you were down for a while. Whatever it is, hope you get to feeling better soon.

I use this on my own engine bay, very easy and thorough


I use Autoglym Engine Cleaner regularly to degrease and gently clean engines, wheel wells, bumpers, grills, spoilers, mirror

Cool, thanks Bill.

Nice menu .... I think your weekly wash rates are a little high, well at least by Floridas pricing. Normallly around 20-25 max. Lots of competition here.

You might wanna make your offering stand out and offer a poly coating or spray wax w/ basic washes. Something to add some UV protective qualities, and yet be fast and light on your wallet. Wipe and go ... but added gloss to keep the customers coming back (Clearkote Quickshine, Finish Kare 425, Pinnacles Crystal Mist, Poorboys Spray/Gloss)

Not that I will ever do it as a business, maybe only a few for $ ehre and there, but...Wondering when you guys do open-bed trucks...so you detail the inside of the bed, or just clean it?
