Thanks for the replies folks. I'll give those ideas a try. As for the love bugs, I have learned my lessons on those. They certainly do some permanent damage. The issues I'm having is even after...
I need some suggestions regarding baked on bug removal. I've been detailing autos professionally for 25 years. But, 2 years ago I moved to Florida. My business here is even better than when in...
Hey everyone.
I have a Griot's Garage DA that I've had for a while. Been a great product.
Today I noticed that my pad was all over the place while buffing. I stopped the buffer and when I grab...
Hey Folks,
Wanted to share an experience from yesterday. More for the new folks just getting started.
I broke our rule of going to look at the vehicle before quoting a price and it bit me hard...
As far as the insurance, that's a dicey subject. If you are wanting your customers to drop their vehicle off at your house and you're only doing 1 or 2 a week you may be ok not getting it. I would be...
I wanted to post this because I couldn't find anything an any forum regarding the use of this product on specific RV finishes.

Welcome!
First off, you will find that there are about a dozen people who are going to want to sell you their "secrets" to starting a detail business. I'll let you decide wether or not you want to...
I agree bro! Keep it relatively simple on the web site. Then use selling skills when you arrive. Of course be honest, but I found that if you have too much info and use too much "industry jargon' it...
My opinion is this is something that takes time to figure out. I can tell you what I charge per hour in my area (Southwest Florida) and that my not apply to your area. Things like your experience and...
Ok guys. Quick update on this. I canceled my account with AdWords and a couple days later received a call from them asking why. I explained that it was because I genuinely felt it was not worth the...
Good replies guys. I've made an adjustment to my ad. Gonna give it one more shot. I have an advertising budget and as long as I'm not going over it I'm good. I've tried a few things, all with hit and...
I gotta agree with some of the replies I've seen. 2-3 hours for a $200 detail seems unreasonable. Don't forget, your clients are not stupid. They will figure that $70-$100 an hour is a bit steep....
Hello folks,
Anyone out there used AdWords by Google to advertise their business? I started a campaign a week ago and have a $10 a day budget. I'm getting about 7 clicks a day but have not received...
I LOVE the Klasse products. Easy to use and are great quality product. The Klasse AIO is my go to for 80% of my clients. I do have a small group of clients with collectable or HIGH end rides who only...
You def need to reed Mike's posts about the business aspect of this.... It changed my business from being so so to being very successful. The point you need to focus on is that 80% of the people out...
This is another one of those personal preference situations. I own the PC, Flex, and Griot Garage Models. Here's my opinion. I love my Griot Garage model for 3 reasons. It does a great job, I've...
There is a ton of awesome info in this forum. What you will find is that we all have our favorites! lol. All of the replies I've read have great suggestions. I personally use the Klasse products a...
The only downside to not having the generator and tank is not being able to go to office compounds and the like. A lot of my customers want me to detail their car while they work. I have a $200...
Hello everybody!
