Doubt there are a lot of newbies from PEI

aka PEI Detail
Hello all. I'm now located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. For those who don't know, PEI is a province (like a state, but more sophisticated!) of Canada.

I bought the rights for PEI and opened up my own shop back where I grew up.

Nice to join the community.
 
Hi!
So, you have lots of previous detailing experience, or is this a "fly by the seat of your pants/jump in with both feet" kind of deal?

Thanx for the welcome Jaysb95.

Big Leegr, I have some detailing experience in a shop, mostly interior, engines, wheels, washes, cut polishing, etc. Haven't done much carpet dying, and limited waxing, though I enjoy polishing the most.

Most of my experience is in a paint renewal system we developed. I've gotten to know paint qualities and imperfections well as I work in the clear coat removing scratches and fading. It is fun, but tedious and tense work. I do regular detailing to meet customers, relax, get to know more and different cars, and pay for shop time as I develop skills.

So yes, I have previous experience, but yes this is a jump into deep water for me. Franchise rights came up and I grabbed them. I'm a little over my head, but not too much. A significant economic downturn a month after you open your shop doesn't help. :huh: We have a pretty small economy in PEI, with not a lot of luxury cash.

But I wanted to take a risk and blow my life savings.

Are there a lot of pros on here, or mostly weekend warriors?
 
Welcome to the City, PEI!!
I just do my own cars, but I enjoy making them look their best!
I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of your work with your lovely province in the background. :)

Just posted some pics of a 71 Vette here in the Corvette forum. Thought that was the best place, but I might be wrong.

I really don't know the best way to take pics, but I'm sure I'll find a thread on it somewhere here.
