WEll the situation is I have a 99 xtreme that i want to get a 4x8 trailer. I want to run like a 90 gallon water tank, or i want to do 2 50-65 gallon tanks. Reason being is that if i really dont need the 90 gallons of water, if it is not full that is a whole lot of extra weight and water...

Well i just got a good deal on hyper dressing, 34 bucks shipped for a gallon which i think is decent. Anyways what dilution should i be using for the inside? Most of the customers I deal with are high end and they dont like a very greasy dash board, neither do I. Just something more natural...

Well I was just recently talking to the owner of Durrmaid, and hopefully ill get my hands on one of his new mobile extractors. This unit is going to rock the market and will sell out quick. Why? Key features. You hook it up to your water supply and therfore as the water is being used...

WEll i know it seems obvious t use a copier machine to make copies of my brochure like i did last year, but i have a problem... I dont like the fact that you can use only the one type of paper thickness in the machine if this is true? I wanted to make my brochures a little bit heavier to seem...

Well i have been big on fabric guard and so should you, no matter where you located you should be pushing it by a seperate flyer. I was able to get that extra 20 dollars or what not from almost evey customer i came into contact with if i wanted to. Why dealerships are charging upwards of 200...

Wow i am sitting back in my seat here looking at the old posts I have sent in. At a time just a few months back I was so worried about even starting up the detailing business due to the area I lived in and if it would be any success. My phone keeps ringing even though I stopped advertising over...

I have some customers that want me to come to there home often every week or so and maintain there vehicles. It is so funny cause they dont even use the vehicle much. What can be used on the inside to wipe down leather,dash board etc? These cars have been detailed already so i just want...
