  3. Re: Starting a part time production detailing business

    Well, this is why I upsell claying. You talk to your customers and just explain that you are washing and waxing the vehicle and it will come out looking great. But right after that, mention to them...
  4. Re: Starting a part time production detailing business

    I think it also depends on the size of the vehicle. Make sure you charge accordingly for that. Everyone is different, but I upsell the claying process. Most people don't care, but the ones that do...

    Re: Loving this some days!

    Aww sorry to hear that man. But like you said, sometimes it's better to cut your losses than deal with someone who can just cause you to hate doing the work. Your doing this because you enjoy it, no...
  10. Re: Multiple Questions to Help Me PROPERLY Finish a BLACK BMW Detail

    I gotcha. Thanks for the advice! I may just clay the car and seal it with a wax for now. Wait until the end of the month when I will hopefully get a DA polisher. Looks like I may try the SwirlX on...

    Looks great man! What did you use on the wheels to get that much shine? They look great!
  12. Re: Multiple Questions to Help Me PROPERLY Finish a BLACK BMW Detail

    That's a good point. I could use it to at leas t apply wax to all the cars I am doing at the very least.



    Paul, I am not sure what color it is exactly. And in regards to claying and polishing...
  13. Re: Multiple Questions to Help Me PROPERLY Finish a BLACK BMW Detail

    Yeah, thanks! I am on the fence because I know most of my customers won't really need (well, want) those processes done. But I feel like the few times I MAY need it each year, it would make the work...
  14. Re: Multiple Questions to Help Me PROPERLY Finish a BLACK BMW Detail

    As of now, yes, I am working by hand. I hope I get gift cards to AG or enough cash to put towards getting my own DA polisher. Even though I won't need it too often, I know I would use it on my own...
  15. Re: Multiple Questions to Help Me PROPERLY Finish a BLACK BMW Detail

    Thanks for the input Mike, just so I respond in order:

    1. Do you think something like Ultimate Compund is too aggressive or is that something that would be perfect for this situation?

    2. I'm...

    Re: Meguiars #26 yellow tech wax

    I usually follow this in that I wax my car after evey other wash or so. If I have time, I do it after every wash, depending on how long it has been. So I say I apply a coat of wax once to twice a...
  20. Re: Mother Interior Cleaning Products. Picture heavy!

    I do this VERY part-time and most of the customers I have opt for my "midway" package. It's basically a quick detail:wash, wax, dress tires, do windows, wipe down and vacuum interior. I am charging...
