In the past 7 days
 
I did a Quicken report on the last 60 days:

Over $1000 mostly from Autogeek, but some from local auto parts stores. Of course I was just getting set up and the total included a PC, pads, foam gun, and creeper stool.



I'm sure I'll have some product left over come next spring, too. I only do paid details once a week or so on weekends. I'm set with a lot of Poorboys, Klasse, 303, Stoner, Folex, LC PC pads, Eagle One......still need a few more MF towels, and some more of the Duragloss line.



Another 4-5 weeks or so, and I'll be breaking even. I'm having fun and enjoying a new hobby that brings in some extra spending cash. Plus, my family and friends are happy with the results. I'd have to get a whole lot better/faster/smarter to be able to scratch a living out of this, but maybe it will be something good for additional retirement income a few years from now.

As soon as your break even its a great feeling. Then it normally takes one detail or two to get another shippment and still have money left over.
 
I'm thinking that we form a group -- "D.A." (Detailer Anonymous) where we all sit around in a group and admit our sinful addicition, after which we all have coffee and donunts. I'm sure my wife would sponsor my membership as she is getting real tired of seeing Brown come to me house 1-2/week.
 
haha I would be a member of the Detailers Anonymous - My family always jokes when the UPS truck flies by my house that she missed me today because she is sick of carrying my big heavy boxes :)
 
I've also learned to use the open / snatch / shuffle technique. This means - open the box and snatch the packing slip/receipt in one swift movement and shuffle it into my pocket before my wife sees how much I spent. Trust me, once you master the technique life will be much better.

My problem is when I rip open those boxes...the damn packing peanuts are working against me I never seem to pick them all up and my little weiner dog always seems to get one stuck to his nose with static to go show the world I made another purchase haha :)





--All kidding aside, I always feel..while it may cost money to get into this hobby, it is something that you can make money from to help offset some of the costs and it is something to keep us all hard workers and always double checking ourselves. I just purchased the vapor steamer last night because...while it did cost me $150 - that purchase will help my details become more professional and even more unmatched compared to other detailers. And if I can be that much better than others in all the small details, people will notice my attention to detail and continue to come back and make referals to friends. -- Maybe this isnt true for any of us, maybe Im just making an excuse for my addiction



For those of you who don't know me, my name is Josh...and I have a problem. :cry:

It's been 2 days since my Zaino delivery..and I can frequently be found sniffing my Z products in the garage late at night...yumm

LOL, that's funny. I'll go out to the garage and bring in a bottle of QD and set it on the end table while I watch T.V. When I get bored with the program, I'll read the label, sniff the goods, practice my bottle holding technique.... :o
 
I forgit the pics

Beason - tell me how the GR-40 works for you, my bottle looks completely different than that and I'm wondering if they changed the formula. Mine's an 8oz white bottle with gold and black writing.
