How long have you been in business and what was your business like in the past during the month of December?

What are your business goals per week, per month, per year?

What's the population...

The other huge advantage is there is no down time. You can constantly fill it without having to wait for the boiler to heat up and compress the steam. If you have to wait on a piece of equipment...

Why are you buying a steamer? What kind of work load? How many hours per day? Multiple people using it?

I bought the Tosca and it's a nice machine, but you really only get 30-40 minutes of use,...

How much do you have to charge per hour to keep your business profitable? Determine how many hours a week, every week, for months at a time, can you detail a week? That will give you an estimated...

Her brother is obviously an expert....

I wouldn't even e-mail back. They're not your target customer. If they are satisfied with the service they have been receiving they won't see the value in...

1. No, unless you're told by the owner. If the car comes in and it starts beading up when I wash it, I will note it and talk to the customers after the detail about it. Most time people have no idea...

I wouldn't do this, here's my 2cents.

I actually offer a maintenance kit to customers around the $175 price point and people purchase them all the time. I don't think anyone is going to be...

Any coating being applied at that temperature and humidity is going to give you problems. It's going to flash so quickly, get sticky and be difficult to see the high spots and also knock them down....

Organize and label everything so you can work as effectively and efficiently as possible for the type of detailing work you preform. Strategic design of tools, equipment and supplies will make you...

Personally, I've found Optimum Car Wax or even Opti-Seal to be top-notch. They are also super easy to apply and I believe last something like 3 months and 9 months respectively.

18-55/80mm, at the lowest f-stop range you can afford. Remember that with crop sensor cameras it's not true focal lengths but it's a factor of that higher. Here is a good article on it: DSLR Crop...

Adhesive remover or mineral spirits and/or a plastic razor blade. Allow the bumper stickers to soak for then once soft enough use a razor blade to remove the goo. It always ends up being a tedious...

With a polisher like the Rupes 21 you have more power thus being able to remove more paint faster. It also allows you to run larger pads and covers more surface area with a 21mm throw compared to the...

Make it clear what is going to happen before hand and that is it not instantly reversible. All you can do is inform the customer and let them make the decision. It's not your responsibly once they...

Any dirt or contamination that is on the surface is going to effect hydrophobic properties because the surface has been changed. Products are going to breakdown over time.

I'm 6+ months in on...

I would try 3M Adhesive Remover. Just don't use it on plastic trim.

Goo Gone would probably also do the trick.

If you're going to go through all the effort of correcting the paint you should apply a paint coating that will give you better protection and longer durability than a wax or sealant. Plus most of...

Definitely suggest the cyclo brushes on the porter cable DA. I've found the larger DA brushes have trouble spinning on most surfaces and are hard to navigate and do not fit into most interior car...

Give them the good, better and best scenarios. Wash, clay, wax for the cheap end and explain the benefits of getting your current vehicle thoroughly clean and shiner from removing bonded...

Give the state a call and explain your situation and they should be able to help you make the decision. If you plan on hiring in the future I would just do it anyway so it's one less thing you need...

I think it would be nuts to not diversify your communication avenues. E-mail is a "slow" communication method compared to phone. If you only choose one you're really limiting yourself and your...

What's the purpose? I don't think the average person is going to really have any idea what is going on. Showing the process doesn't excite people to buy or be interested. Give them the benefits and...

I don't sell individual products but I do sell a maintenance kit that includes everything you need to care for your vehicle after a detail. I would make up a kit and explain the benefits of using it....

If I were going to do something like this I would NOT base it off of a % of your business. Like rent, I would make it fixed, whether it's you pay X per day, week or month to use the space.

It depends.

I find that washes aren't that profitable unless I've seen the vehicle before or they are willing to listen to the benefits of claying and so on so I can up sell them to an...
