Last year I bought the basic stuff and tried out some different brands. I am now left with a lot of extra products I dont really need. Could anyone come up with a simplified list of affordable products that would help cut down on the ammount of stuff I need to bring? The reason I ask is I...

Well a while back my Kickboxing instructor said that I could leave a stack of flyers on the main counter to try and help my business get off the ground. Question is, how do i approach the other businesses? There is a petco right next to my dojo which in my opinion would be an awsome spot for pet...

What do you guys think works the best? I feel that with packages customers can get stuck choosing what one works for them and may not be confortable with what they chose. Thats why I feel having a basic wash/wax package with a quick vacuumm and the rest of the services should be chosen at the...

Well with the colder weather coming round, Ill need something to do so I figured why not practice my buffing skills! This is what I came up with.

Is it possible to make rattlecan paint come out well on a test pannel? Its something that has been on my mind for some time now, with enough wetsanding and polishing its it possible to get spray paint close to show quality or will it just gum up the pads because it cant take the heat? If I...

Does anyone here use or ever heard of using a pumice rock for dog hair removal? We use it at out local express detail shop and it works wonders, it picks up that stuff with no effort what so ever. If I ever had my business take off I think I would invest in one of these, they are cheap and...

How effective is this? a friend suggested we do it and give the customer a quick sales pitch, less than 30 seconds give them a business card and flyer and walk away (answer questions first though). How effective is this vs just passing out the flyers? Im in desperate need of jobs because the...

Which ones yield more response from customers? I feel that if I pass out my flyers to people of low income toward the village they will be deterred by the prices. My buddy who did detailing for a while and was sucessfull at it told me to pass out in the village because its much denser in that...

Does anyone know if a 1982 mazda rx-7 has single stage paint or clear? I might be able to get my hands on one for $500 and the paint is in bad shape, I was thinking of wetsanding the whole thing if it was single stage because after 6 years outside im not sure how much clear is left if it has it.

I did a car this past weekend for a family friend it was a minivan which wasnt to bad considering they have 6 kids. Now I can go quite quickly when in comes to the interior because I did it for a job for a year and a half, however I think my exterior wash process slows me down the most. I did...

Well right now with the funds I have the flex is out the door its just to expensive for me, so I know the PC is capable of paint correction but my question is how far can it go? I also like it because it has some really small backing plates available which is nice for tight spaces.

I know people rave about this product and im looking to get some myself this spring, my question to all of you is, does this reduce the ammount of time you need to spend with a hose? I dont have a foam gun so I dont see why I would need to use a hose if I have ONR, if I could get away without...

I want to get an idea on how long some of you guys take for complete Interior/Exterior detail WITHOUT paint correction seeing how I dont do that yet (I will soon though!). So how long does it take for you guys for complete interior/exterior with clay and wax? My dads nissan 350z took us 3.5 hrs...
