So, a regular customer spilled a small amount of.gas in thier trunk. It's lined with that thin felt like material. I'm wondering what you all would suggest for cleaning as well as getting the smell...

Welp, this was some interesting work! 3 Semi Trucks later, I'm pretty impressed with the way they turned out, and definitely made some solid money in the process. The owner seemed very happy with...

Mike, what is your rate per foot? I was thinking of a round figure of $350 for a light interior cleaning plus the wash and wax. It sounds like I might be a little low on that number though. Keep...

I met with a guy yesterday who has a LOT of semis he needs interior detailing done as well as washed and either waxed, or a full compound/polish/wax, depending on how the prices work out. Have any...

I was kinda thinking about something like that. Maybe on a q tip or something.

I've got a customer that called the other day and said he used some bug and tar remover on the grill and mirror caps on his Tundra. They're plastic chrome, and he's telling me it seems to have left...

Sorry for not getting back to this for so darn long!

Paul, very informative response! Lots of good stuff to digest!

Things have actually been insanely dead, much to my surprise. I've spent...

Yep, gotta watch those numbers. Write offs are great, but don't overdo it. You gotta show a profit at some point.

It's definitely on my wish list. I've found plenty of reasons have one since I got my 6 inch Griot's.

I'm actually looking at them right now. It looks like for about the same money I can have a legit site, and own my domain. Now what to do about all the promotional stuff I've get with the old...

Currently, i have a cheapy website through Vistaprint. It does the job, but isn't super awesome to look at. I like it because i can build and work on it myself, so I'd like to stick with something...

I bought a package of 24 at Auto Zone last week for $17. Different colors like I wanted, and they do the job. No need to dump a ton of money on these things.

It would for sure be worth doing one correction for free if 29 paid jobs followed it!
You gotta love when when job snowballs into a fleet of new customers! Lock it up dude!

Thanks a ton for all the ideas! I'm gonna have to try something soon, that's for sure. My regular shoes are getting flat out disgusting!

To you guys that wear sandals; don't your feet get cold...

Yeah dude, there NO WAY I'm messing with shampooing and headliner in a regular package. That's gotta be adding a couple hours to your job! As mentioned before, a stiff brush makes the vacuum job...

The 105 is 31.99, and the 205 is 24.99. All the other prices seemed incredibly reasonable. I've got a rewards card there too, so this is gonna start to pay off for sure! They also had a Surehold...

Today I was shocked to find number 1, 2, 9, 7, 26, 105 and 205 at Auto Zone. To make my day even more awesome, Meguiar's re tweeted my picture of it all on the shelf. #awesomeness...

Bought a package of 24 microfibers at Auto Zone this morning for $17. They're not the biggest towels ever, but they do the job.

Here's the best suggestion I can give about what products to get and how to use them: Don't spend a fortune, but get everything you this.k you might need and then a few things you don't think you...

I totally agree. I spend a lot of time explaining to people why drive thru car washes are down right evil for your car, and how the brush at the do it yourself is no better. Most people get it, a...

Cleaner wax does more than just shine. It will remove some contaminants, and has the ability to polish out some light scratches. I use it as my one step and couldn't be happier with the results. ...

Absolutely share some before and afters!

If you need more pads (and it sounds like you do), there's a buy one get one on LC 6.5 flats. Makes it a lot easier to get around the car when you can swap pads and not clean the ones that are...

For sure. I re state my earlier story. Their hook up, your hose and sprayer.

Honestly, if you going for lower priced stuff but still want quality, you can't beat Meguiars. In my experience, they don't make anything that sucks. Natural Shine interior, cleaner wax, Hot Shine...
