Question for you: On the first page of this thread you also had a document titled "Additional Information" or "Glossary of Terms". I really like the idea of using a document like that to help people understand what sets me apart from the standard local car wash. Is that available as well?

Thanks again!

Lydia

Hy Lydia,

I use to send out this form along with the VIF,

The Nutshell Version of Car Detailing

It was a three page article that explained the basics of detailing. The idea was

You --> read it and know what's in it and understand the information. (most detailers should know this stuff).

Your customer --> reads it and then has a basic understanding of the tools and products "you" use (it's very generic).

It also explains to the customer,

1. Paint is thin and why it's important to both know this and hire a detailer that actually knows what they are doing.

2. Paint is scratched easily, thus it's important to wash the car carefully.

3. It encourages the customer to hire you to maintain their vehicle after the initial detail (Maintenance program)

4. It encourages the customer to send you referrals

5. It recommends the person to check out AutogeekOnline.net for helpful information for taking care of their car's appearance.

6. It recommend my book, "The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine", which like the forum, teaches people how to take care of their car's appearance.

Because the form is a Microsoft Word Document, a person can edit it to their liking.

If you like, I will send you the form. If you don't mind, I would like you to read it and then share on this forum what you think about it? That is,

1. Do you think it would help you with your business?

2. Do you think it would help others with their business?

What do you think?

The forms are free. I prefer to send them out myself since I created them. I don't appreciate it when others give my work away.

I'll send the forms out today.

Note that this form is also coming out as an App for your phone or tablet with other bells and whistles. I'll be teaching a class on how to use it at Mobile Tech Expo in January.

Sorry about that! I'm new to the auto geek family. I really appreciate it! I would love to get a copy of your book as well. Do you have the link to that so I can buy it?

Sounds good. Somewhere around here I have a rough-draft for a boat VIF form, it's not finished so I'll send you this one and tweak it as you see fit.
