Your customers aren't going to go out in the garage and fondle their car after you've gone. People want clean and shiny, that is all they understand 99.9% of the time. You do this to make money in...
I should have mentioned that it would include windows and tire dressing. Maybe even a quick dash wipe down. I'll be using my foam cannon with wash and wax soap. I figured more wax could be a add on....
I never thought I'd say this but I'm considering offering mobile washes in my gated community. My neighborhood currently has 2000 households and soon growing to 5000. The average income here is 90k+...
Personally I like names with strong memorable words that describe your business. It's not hard to think of names once you get on the right track.
Some ideas:

First impressions...
I wouldn't waste effort on a practice hood. The DA is really forgiving, honestly I can't imagine what you did wrong. Meg's polish is barely abrasive at all, maybe you got some dirt embedded in the...
If you get a cover remember to remove it off the car properly. People will tend to roll it up over the car and get the dirt on top inside the liner. They wind up scratching it because the dirt is now...
I had a Maxima that suddenly got a crack on the center console lid. I tried a repair kit and never got it to look right. This was ten years ago so maybe the process is better these days. Anyway I...
Ok cool thanks guys, I like the razor blade idea since I did pull one off with my fingers already and it left a little bump behind. I'm definitely going to take them off so it looks nice and smooth....
I got some new Firestones on my SUV and they have 1/4 inch rubber hairs for the lack of a better description sticking out on the side walls. Do these serve any purpose and can I pluck them off?
No prob, you might want to just start out with a kit. They come with pre-measured ingredients and you can save a lot. This site has really good ones. Its also a good place for supplies.
Soap Making...
It looks like you've made decent progress. In this case it seems to me you need a more aggressive pad or need to improve your technique. Meg's 105 is the cream of the crop for paint correction. Are...
I know a lot about making soaps. It can get expensive when starting out. You'll need lots of different oils, lye, and equipment. There is cold process and hot process. Liquid soaps are a little...
Meg's is known for dusting a lot and it's not sun friendly, hopefully you aren't doing this on a hot surface. Eighty percent isn't bad to be honest, can you do better? Probably but you've always got...
I don't have one yet but it's on the priority list. It will make cleaning anything that much faster and easier. I doubt I'll invest in a extractor, dry foam cleaner and a wool pad on a rotary works...
Haha you are absolutely right on this! My first couple of cars I worked on turned out to be the dirtiest ones imaginable. I got over the one price fits all idea real quick after that.
