Detailing Magazine

Just One More Coat
I was thinking are there any month, quarterly mags for detailers? Something that would talk about new products, techniques, etc.

I would be one that would buy it. Anyone know of any?

If not then here is another hair brained idea that I have!!

yes :lmfao

we can just come here to Detail City and get all the info we can use:dcrules
 
I get these news letters and some "detailing" magazines but mostly they are just filled with 90% advertising and the rest is mainly all about automated car wash systems.
 
Hey DOC

I get the e-mail version of that every month. Its geared towards the larger car wash guys. The ones that most of us would not take our cars threw.

I'm talking more on the lines of a Newsletter.

There is.... ;) it's called Professional Carwashing & Detailing magazine (sorry Poorboy... maybe a monthly newsletter for your customers might be up your alley)


I had a subscription for a very long time and as Beemerboy said..it's more of a carwashing business publication...

as far as a news letter...not really needed...anything that is new or important can be instantly posted here...:dcrules

we will be adding a FAQ to our Poorboy's World forum

and everyone knows where to find me if they have a question:dunno

right Dave:D

Why couldn't it be an on-line newsletter...maybe a monthly letter explaining new products that have come out, updates..new items being released, etc. It would sort of be a condensed version of the stuff we all look at everyday...maybe even get our advertisers to sponser it for an ad...then even casual lurkers could print out a 2 page newsletter to read elsewhere...with a POORBOYS ad prominently displayed....??????
Maybe a little picture of Natty's Wax as an ad....???
 
Now your getting the idea that I have. I could run my add for 1-800- detailers, another hair brained idea of mine!!
 
Very nice..1-800-detailers....listing all the detailers here by state...very nice..maybe even arrrange it so, by the honor system of course, anyone who gets a detailing job through here would send back say $5 or $10 to help run it.......hmmmmmm
Simple..effective..something we could print out and read at the beach...or give to a friend at work who's bugging you about what wax you use...or how do you get it so shiny??......hmmmm

My idea about 1-800 detailer was along the lines of 1-800 dentist. You would have to meet certain criteria to be on the list. Then people would call in to see who is in there area.

oh you just opened a can of questions:D

how could you qualify a detailer? years , $$$ charged?

I know some detailers that have been in business a long time and still do sh#58y work , and some who charge lots of $$$ but also do sh$#*y work, yet there are some unknowns that do outstanding work:dunno
 
I tried to secure the 1-800-detailer (1-800-338-2453) back in 1990-91 only to find it unavailable... hehehe -- I also tried 1-800-4-A-Detail and 1-800-Clean-Car.. all with no avail. Times have changed, maybe the 888 versions are unsecured. Good luck :)

I have no idea about that just yet. Its something that popped into my mind as I said another hair brained idea:lmfao
