    New Teaser Logo

    This is the new logo I'm thinking about using. (small, black and white version). As you can probably guess, the design was "inspired" by a particular product's logo. Do you see any problems with using this design? I have a color version but I need to find a new color scheme for it. PM...

    Cleaner Wax with a cutting pad

    I have to wash and wax a grocery-getter that I haven't seen in six months, tommorrow. I'd like to save some time, so instead of going with clay, DACP, carnuba, I'm actually considering just going clay then cleaner wax with a Meguiar's burgundy pad on a PC. Has anyone tried an agressive...

    Shutting Down

    :( Well after my first spring and summer in business, I've decided to pack it in. Things have not gone as planned, mainly due to me not being able to give a new business as much attention as it needs because of my crappy full time job. I'm pretty sure that the business is out there and...

    Change your counterweight...NOW!

    With all the endless discussions about PC counterweights, I have to suggest that EVERYONE with a PC using ANY backing plate and 6" pads or larger, invest $1.99 and go get the 6" counterweight!!!! It makes a world of difference in speeds over "4". There are now zero vibrations. If you...

    Sonax at Canadian Tire

    :bounce I just got my order of Jacques Villeneuve (Sonax) 2 in 1 shampoo in the mail and the receipt says that the Jacques Villeneuve products will be carried by Canadian Tire "this spring". Since they aren't there now, can I assume that this is Spring 2004? Regardless, it will be...

    What would you charge?

    I have to go look at a customers' Ford Windstar tonight to give them a quote on an interior only cleaning including carpet and upholstery shampoo. They describe it as "very dirty", so what would you charge, worst case scenario? (I'm thinking of tacking on an extra $30 so I can rent a real...

    Please Don't Do This!

    Do not make a great big sign with your prices on it. The only people that like to see this info. is your competition, like me. This guy saved me a phone call in which I would pretend to be a customer and proceed to find out what he offered and how much he charged. If you post your prices...

    Meguiars #66 vs. Mother's Cleaner/Wax

    Has anyone used Meguiar's #66 Quick Detailer(one step wax) and Mother's Cleaner Wax? Can you compare the two? Which is more agressive, more durable, better shine, easier application? Which do you prefer as a one step product for dealer jobs? Thanks

    Buyer Beware!

    Just wanted to relay a bad buying experience for your benefit. I just ordered the wax test from guru reports online for $9.99, when I completed the credit card transaction, it added $41.57 in shipping. I am trying to get them to cancel the order now but they don't reply to emails and don't...

    Let's play Describe-A-Wax!

    Does anybody want to provide some input on what different waxes and sealers look like? You know, if you had two pick a couple of words to describe how a wax or sealer makes the finish look. I think it would help (me anyway) in choosing products to get a desired effect. Here are a few that I'm...
