Hey autogeeks, My name Is Alexander. I have been in the process of starting two corporations, however as I wait on development teams to get them running I decided to spend the summer building a detailing business that hopefully can make enough to get a brick and mortar by winter.
The average multimillionaire has 7 avenues of revenue, and my goal is to have a Ducati by the end of the summer, an Aston Martin by the time I turn 30, and then I want to move onto properties, a family, and hopefully sooner than later a yacht... I mean, hey, if you aim for the stars but only hit the moon you can't be that upset right? Either way God blesses his faithful.
Yesterday I received my first order from Autogeek, and I'm Geeked. I ended up receiving a Mytee 8070 Lite, a Flex XC 3401, a Flex Kompakt3, odds and ends, and a Nanoskin kit.
So of course I had to put it all to use. I'm very pleased to say the least, I got 2 years of nicotine out of my headliner, got shined up, and best of all with the nanoskin I didn't end up killing myself claying my car.
I'm now trying to narrow down exactly what chemicals to run for different price points.
I want to be able to turn enough profit in the next month to start hiring employees so I am willing to do production work in addition to paint correction.
I already determined that I want to exclusively use Nanoskin wash mits, and wash soap to knock out the decontamination at the same time I wash because from what I've gathered time is money in this business.
For the production level on exteriors I was leaning toward the Pinnacle XMT 360 spray wax to keep it quick.
Next level up I was thinking pinnacle XMT 360 put on with the Flex machines.
Then for paint correction I'm leaning toward Wolfgang total swirl remover.
Sealants I'm trying to decide between Wolfgang, pinnacle black, and cquartz.
For extreme high end jobs I was thinking of topping the sealant with Wolfgang fusion. (I'm in Oakland County so there is old money here and I'm sure those people will pay to have their Bentleys, Ferraris, and lambos done up)
My major conundrums at this point are what to use along with the Mytee I'm leaning toward the Wolfgang line yet again however do I really need both the spot remover and the restorer?
Also I want to do everything in my power to minimize the time it takes to do interiors so I've been playing with the idea of getting one of those tornado tools, but I have no clue what chemical to run through it. If there is something out there that cleans, conditions, and protects all in one can someone point me to it? Even better would be something that works for both vinyl and leather.
My other option would be to get the stoner more shine less time or trim product but I'm skeptical about its cleaning abilities...
For tires and rims I was leaning back toward Wolfgang again.
For glass I'm a huge fan of stoner products, but I'd love input on glass, and headlight restoration products for the upsell...
Any input is welcome but I'd really like to hear from the guys who have made a real go of the detailing business, what chemicals and tools they run, if I've missed anything critical, and how they keep it simple Simon for employees.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post guys!
