This is why I have such a difficult time selling my services to new clients.... From craigslist.... :hairpull

Riiiiiiggggghhhhttttt!!!! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! :grrr

Okay this is the first I'm learning about this and it also has happened to me twice. The first time I thought that a mechanic forgot to replace them or something, and the second time was just about 30 minutes ago...I caught two kids in the act stealing them in broad daylight! By the time I got...

This has been in discussion before, and some of you may already know this, but if you are looking for a great and effective form of advertising, I can not stress enough the power of the internet! Get a website (take your time and build a good professional one, or have it done professionally)...

I started a similar thread on a different board, but I wanted to get your opinions also... Couldn't the Mytee S300 Tempo Spotter be used as an interior detailing tool the same way the larger extractors are used? I understand that it is a cold water unit, but wouldn't applying a pre-treat...

I'm very interested in adding on headlight restoration to my business. I've been doing some research and there are several kits, etc. out there, and I just wanted to get your opinions on them before I invest. Also, I'm not choosing based on price, but on what gets results, etc. Thanks...

Is it just me, or is Texas becoming the new mecca for mobile detailing. :D I thought California had a lot, but through out the boards, internet, etc., I'm noticing majority of mobile detailers are out of Texas. I guess the weather plays a large part and/or the economy? :nixweiss I don't...

Anyone's favorite team going into the playoffs? Mine, as most of you already know is the Eagles. What a crazy year this year in the NFL. Underdogs beating the favorites, majority of home games being lost, suprise teams (Jets, Saints), the Eagles going from 5-6 and left for dead to going to...

Long time no see. With the NFL season on it's way, that's where alot of my attention goes. But, since the Eagles want to play like a high school team all of sudden, I figured I would take a break and get back to some good ol' autopia conversating. They lost to a freaking 62 yard field...

This Audi was a 2 step detail and was in excellent condition to begin with. Process: Wash (Ardex blue carwash - very economical, sudsy, highly effective cleaning ability, and doesn't strip wax) Clearkote VM Collinite Insulator Tire shine (Meg's hot shine) Next up is a BMW...

To those who have experience with vapor cleaners, what are the specifications I should look for when shopping for one (PSI, watts, temperature, attachments, etc.)? I will be using this for my business. I have a low volume of around 10 (+/-) details per week that I'll be using it for.

BAD PHOTO QUALITY...I AM STILL PROCRASTINATING ON GETTING A NEW CAMERA! :D These two details are of my regular customer. I haven't done any work for him for awhile due to his very demanding schedule. He's getting a new Lamborghini soon which will be the same color but different body...

Todays job was a Black GMC Sierra Truck. The truck is brand new, but, when the dealer painted the truck they did not change the tip and the truck ended up being a mixture of black and gold. :scared: He sent it back to have it re-painted. The problem is when they did the re-paint, they put an...

Some gorgeous vehicles I've had my hand on the past few days! I'm really pissed because I on accident deleted some photos of a Mercedes AMG I did!! :( First up is the soccer and field hockey Suburban. I've been taking care of it for about a year now. Believe it or not, the truck actually...

I have an appointment for this Monday 4/24. The customer just informed me yesterday that he preferred if I can use Zaino. I could say the normal as far as him letting me know on short notice in reference to shipping and that I could use something else in my arsenal that is close or better than...
