    I clean them out!

    Seriously though, I put all change and moneys I find in a zip lock bag and place the bag back in the cupholder after cleaning. If there is a lot of clutter that is not trash, I put them in a size appropriate shopping bag and put it on the passenger side floor board.

    I do the same, keep some zip lock baggies on hand, all loose objects in baggies.

    For reference... see this article...


    How to use a one-step cleaner/wax to maximize profits

    Note: While this car is worth a lot of money, asking price is over $100.000.00 the owner didn't want to spend a lot of money getting it cleaned up for sale. So have a "package" for everyone.



    Before
    This car is in good condition but the paint was oxidized and thus dull and lifeless. It was rough to the feel with contamination as was the exterior glass. A greasy tire dressing was used and it smeared over the white letters staining them black and brown. The chrome was stained with some type of film causing them to look dull instead of bright and shiny.




    After

    Re: A few tips on starting a part-time detailing business

    Great article and yes, I fell into trying to be Paul Dalton when I first started, I'm sure those Buick owners thought I was mental and perhaps I was - but, $$ divided by number of hours gets old and you learn that maybe you're doing a little too much!
    I think the greatest thing in recent years was Megs MF system. I mean, after a good wash/clay, you can get pretty darn good results with D300 and a MF pad, add a little BFWD and presto! The customer is floored and starts sending his hunting buddies, friends at work, etc to you.
    If they could just invent some kind of small vac attachment that has a rotating brush in it, and still be 3-4" wide, then I'd be HAPPY!

    Like I say...


    It's real easy to put a whole lot of time into a project for not much money...


    Find balance...
