    Anyone else running out of batteries?

    Been detailing non-stop, running out of juice, and wanted to know if anyone else feels like they just want to sleep like Snow White ? Part of me wants to keep working, part of me wants to rest for a day or two. When I rest, I always think about detailing lol. Booked 2 months out and I am very blessed, but running out of steam sometimes. Do you guys schedule cars every day or every other day? Working on this car right now with dirty seats and carpets. About to go crazy haha.

    It would be a bigger PITA if you were me, without an extractor. Lol.

    Now I see exactly what you mean about that dudes seat being the cleanest seat before to work with. Lol.

    I can not see myself without a extractor. I first started out with a steamer and took years to fully clean a carpet. This seat is one of the "normal" conditions I get. Some of them can be very nasty ;(.

    Lol. Stealing those precious detail times man! I might start turning down some cars, but I have a soft heart. Than again, I might get a heart attack from being overly stressed with a hectic schedule ;(.
