How do you guys go about putting out flyers? I want to distribute them to houses, but since it's illegal to put them in mailboxes, I've come up with only a couple of ideas. One is to put them in a cheap plastic bag ($10 for 1000 on ebay), rolled up and put them on the hooks that a lot of...

I've been putting together a list of different marketing methods to be used by small businesses. I figured we could all join in, and share ideas - both the obvious ones, and the not so obvious. Here's what I've got so far: - Business cards / flyers left on BB's at supermarkets, apartment...

I'm toying with the idea of taking a Paintless Dent Repair course - there is a big PDR training place not too far away from me that seems like they'd give good classes, and it seems like a good market to get in to around here. Are there any PDR guys here, or any people who have experience...

Just wondering how long you guys figure it would take to establish yourself with a mobile detailing business. As in, how long it would take to get it running smoothly enough to live off of and be somewhat stable. Thanks :)

Well, I just got my Colt 1911 .45 today, and it has a blued finish, so I was searching around to see what people use to protect it from corrosion. Turns out, a lot of guys use a high quality car wax (usually carnuba) and thought "Perfect!" - right up my alley. So, do any of you guys use car...

Hey guys, looking to share some marketing ideas since there hasn't been one of these threads in a while. I'm needing some business, and I'm looking for some ideas to help spread the word. There is a city ordinance here to prevent placing fliers on cars and the like, so that common marketing...

I'm engaged! :woohoo: The g/f... er.... fiancee, set the date as October 7th. She's been planning everything, and, of course, I'm in charge of the honeymoon & finding a house for us to live in once it's all over. Serious question though: Any advice on keeping people away from my car? I...

I'm looking for a glaze that will hide minor imperfections and make the paint look wetter without stripping wax. The thing is, I have been doing my winter prep detail on my black car, and I have Klasse AIO + countless layers of SG on top of that, and I would really like to put a glaze on the...

I just finished my winter detail, polished my car (black SVT Focus) to perfection, sealed with SG. All was well until a little later, when I noticed cat paw prints in my car from my girlfriend's house, and marring in the paint from their claws. I busted out the PC, polished it out, and brought...

Well, I got my first job this morning as a pro detailer. It started out horrible. My invertor setup ended up not working, the place I detailed the car at ended up having ZERO power outlets what so ever.... And I left my battery powered vacuum at home charging! So I did all of the "vacuuming"...

I know fillers are normally frowned upon (and I have the same view, I never use them unless I have to, I prefer to correct the problem rather than cover it up), but my Z28 has crazing in the rear bumper, and, of course, the only way to fix that is to sand and repaint - and I'm just not willing...

Arggg, at this point I just feel like throwing the PC and all of my polishes in the back of my car and just driving it all off of a cliff. :wall I've been trying to polish out some faint scratchs/swirl marks in my paint. These marks are so faint you can only see them in direct light, and it...
