Re: Giving maintenance care guide to customers
I was doing this and got frustrated cause it seems my customers arent reading them. Im sure I was too long winded for them to be interested but there are SO many things to say. lol

Re: Giving maintenance care guide to customers
I am also interested in getting a good, concise one of these going that we could all use. I'll try to write up a good portion of mine before I hit the hay tonight and I'll share it once finished.
I think the real challenge will be finding a medium between informative and concise.
Think if a house painter walked through your door once he was done and handed you a 10 page packet on caring for the paint. You arent reading that if he paid you to(at least I wouldn't). But if he gave you a simple one page paper or pamphlet thats organized with headings/index, then you may actually give it a chance.

Re: Giving maintenance care guide to customers
I wouldn't touch a car anymore unless the owner agreed to have it coated. They will go to commercial car washes no matter if you stamped the message on their hand. Especially soccer moms and senior citizens. You can buy a WOWA coating like DG enviroshield cheaper than most boutique waxes. Being in a retirement community, I take of our members cars and they all look great and stay that way. I actually use the local touchless carwash in the winter same as they do. No damage to the coating whatsoever. Come spring, I freshen them up with a non abrasive polish, and they're good to go again. To be perfectly honest...I'm actually glad they don't wash their own cars because I know they're going to do more damage despite my lectures.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.
