    Re: National detail pros

    I've recently been contacted twice. The numbers will be 801 area code for Draper/Salt Lake City.

    First time it was a vague, "Can you detail in XXXXX, MO? Can you do a detail on Saturday?". Then...

    Re: Facebook Car Wash & Detailing Category

    The trick is having your address on your Facebook business page. I just had my city entered since I live in a small town. Once that's added/configured, the additional sub-category options open up. ...

    Facebook Car Wash & Detailing Category

    I've seen this category used, but can't figure out how to get it configured. It doesn't appear in the drop-downs. The closest I get is Local Business-Automotive. Anyone got the inside scoop on how...

    Re: Need help picking new van .

    I looked into Sprinters when I was looking and there was plenty to say about them on forums, but I paid attention to what fleet managers said. It was basically that they had a hard time keeping a...

    Re: clay bar and work questions

    One would think so, but the nano pads seemed to like dihydrogen oxide just fine. I could see where my results with no marring for an entire van could seem like an anomaly or maybe just contrary to...

    Re: clay bar and work questions

    Could also get the nanoskin pads for a DA. Did an entire cargo van today with the coarse pad on the 3401 and used only water. Glide from the nanoskin folks works pretty well and lasts at...

    Re: Business vs Detailinng

    "(Customer name), I can fix a good many things, but that scratch down into the paint coat or bare metal is not one of them. You'll need to have this repaired at a body shop. Keep in mind that when...

    Re: Got a new van. no really, I have it.

    Here's my setup. Hope this helps. It's still getting distilled and shuffled, but it works pretty well.

    The cart is from Northern and holds compound/polish bin, small applicator bin, paint...
  11. Re: Remove scratches '13 Odyssey matte exterior trim

    Those might be plastic tape that can be replaced. Honda uses a lot of that on the upper door parts. Might look at a parts breakdown and see so you'll have a backup plan.

    Re: Need help choosing pads

    For me there was a fine line between "finishing" and "finessing", so my startup kit saved the finessing for another order and just included Yellow, Orange, and White with Reds for waxes and sealants....

  14. Re: starting a detailing business, need a little help with the name

    Might consider the idea of maybe incorporating something from the area, or at least buying the detailing domain names for nearby places (YorktownDetailing.com, GloucesterPointDetailing.com, ....). I...

    Re: 05 Ford Edge & 1978 VW Bus

    Thanks. That bus is a rare find. Someone must have hidden that one away in a hangar or something. The interior wasn't faded. I was a bit bummed that someone along the line had not thought to put...

    05 Ford Edge & 1978 VW Bus

    This 05 Edge is a daily driver/commuter/weekend haul-the-family vehicle and it was a little dirty. The paint had swirls and just about what you'd expect out of this year vehicle. Hit the hood and...

    Re: Towel storage for mobile detailers?

    I like the Sterlite 28L clear containers with the tan lids from walmart. I use them for the older MF and terry towels.

    For my newer and super clean MF towels, believe it or not, I've found that...

    Re: Would you buy this to detail in?

    A 1/2 or 3/4 ton Chevy cargo will probably work out well. I started last year with a high-mile E250 with the 5.4L and it's a nice backup rig now. I have since moved on to an extended 2500 Express...

    Re: Sprint or Verizon?

    Considered Republic Wireless?
    WiFi at home and then it rolls onto Sprint when you're out and about. $23.45/mo
    Been with them a while and it's saved me $160/mo since switching.

    Re: Spraying a small area to match Lexus pearl

    It's a tough call. Even going with option #1, you may not be happy with the outcome. It's probably 3 stage paint and as VAS mentioned it's hard to match.

    You wouldn't think that there'd be...
