Toward the end of this week (or weekend), I have a client with a Suzuki Volusia motorcycle that needs detailing. I think it's either a 99 or 00 model. Not real dirty, but needs detailed. First off, I've never detailed a bike in my life. But the owner also knows a bunch of other bike...

I ordered a dozen pack of 15" x 25" MF towels from Detail King out of Pittsburgh, PA a little while back and to honest, I'm not real impressed. After the first washing they seem really thin. Infact, the Costco towels seem to be much higher quality :rolleyes: Robert

I'm starting my mobile business next week. Everything is ready to go almost. Just wondering, what do you guys do as far as getting your money? Do customers pay upfront or after? Has anyone ever had a problem with people refusing to pay? Also, if you are detailing the customer's...

Before trying QEW, I was like everyone else who hasn't tried it--very skeptical. But I finally went out and bought it. I figured if Scottwax uses it, then it must be good.:cool: The stuff is absolutely amazing! For anyone out there who is skeptical themselves, you truly have to try it to...
