Been quite a while since I have been here, but thought I would check on something. Looking at selling my detailing trailer, but did not really see a classified section. Is it cool to post something for sale, and if so, where? Thanks in advance. Buzz

Well, with the recent So Cal fires, I was hoping to get some increase in business, and I have. Had a couple details from friends who wanted to clean up after the ashes, etc. Also got a call from a friend at the local Humane Society, They were VERY busy during the fires, rescuing oner 1,000...

I have looked at the motorhome areas, but wanted to get more opinions. I am trying to decide if I want to charge an hourly rate, or just a price for the whole vehicle. Basically, this mainly an exterior wash and wax. Maybe a quick cleaning of the interior, but the main concern is getting a...

I am curious what and how you charge for Limo's. I do boats by the foot, and was wondering if anyone prices Limo's that way. Many of them around here have a HUGE stretch, so they end up being about twice the size of a regular car. I may end up just using an hourly rate. Any info would be...

I posted in another area, but got little response, so I thought I would try here. I am taking my mobile detailing business full-time, and am looking into insurance. I am getting the workman's comp taken care of, but am looking for overall liability insurance for the business. I am mobile, and...

Searched around, but can't find a specific thread that covers what I am looking for. I have a mobile busuness, and recenyly got a fleet contract, where I will be washing on their property. They want me to have a liability policy, and are not real concerned about a specific amount, just want me...

I am trying to get an idea what other mobile detailers do as far as fleet and company vehicles. I am looking at two diferent customers right now that I will be making proposals with. Before I do, I wanted to get some input from others who have already done this. One of the customers has about...

Being fairly new to detailing as a business/hobby, I am still learning about different product manufacturers, etc. I have learned a ton lurking the pages here, so I wanted to get an idea of how popular the products I use are. When I initially purchased my trailer set-up, I also ordered a...

The other day I noticed a thread on a forum (?) about an expo in Florida that had many suppliers of detailing products. It appeared the expo was geared towards professional detailers, not the general public. I don't recall if the public was even allowed. Just saw a thread, not sure where...

I have the opportunity to get a couple customers that want vehicles presure washed, and tires dressed (similar to car lots, fleet washing, etc). No dryiing exterior, no interior, etc. Pretty much a fleet-type set-up. I don't want a bunch of water spots after the vehicles dry. I have seen an...

Just saw their products in a shop recently, and really don't know much about them. In fact, that was about all the shop had was their line, and a few other items. Just curious if anyone knows much about them. Thanks.

I have been lurking here for a few weeks, and thought I would get started with an intro. Like many here, I am a newbie to detailing as a trade/profession, etc. I am very fortunate to find this board, and it has been very informative. I am sure it will be in the future as I get into it more...
