New Guy From NOVA!

Hey all,

I have been snooping around for a couple months now, and thought I should introduce myself.:xyxthumbs



I am 23 year old college student. I go to george mason, and just started a (very) small detailing business about a month ago, so far just friends and friends friends. But once it heats up I am sure I will have some more business. I live in a small town which is full of rich people, so I only do cars local to my town and offer pickup and delivery!



I am a heavy poster on e90post.com and before popping into autopia, I learned ALOT there. Scheerspeed, FMINUS, joyriide, picus, and to name a few. (I think there is some overlap with some of these members):laugh:



Anyway I have had my PC for about 2 years now, and have a FLEX on the way. I am pretty proud of my little collection of goodies, and one thing on my wishlist is a CRspotless! I pretty much use C.G products, Zaino, and Menzerna!



Now that I have introduced myself, you guys should see me around the forum! Thanks for everything guys, and here is a picture of what I have so far!!

I think everybody missed my thread,



So far I have done 4 cars for customers (officially) now and 3 more lined up next week, but I have been doing friends cars for years! Really enjoy doing it and think this is a great place to learn more!!:xyxthumbs

Hope your huskies do well this year in the sport you are talking about!!!

Hey welcome to the forum! Nice to see another NOVA person. You have a nice collection of supplies there. I'd say you better start detailing for money just to help pay for all your supplies! ha..ha..! Thats what orig got me started.

Hells yes!!! I bought such large quantities planning ahead for business!!



Where are you at??? Do you know warrenton?



Chemical guys is crazy expensive (with shipping when all is said and done)!!



I really like zaino's flat shipping fee!! :spot
 
I'm over in Fairfax/Loudoun. I am constantly buying new stuff also. Not as much bulk though just yet. I am like you in that I only detail occasionally. I have a full time Job that I love so I do not need a large client base to make a living at it and that really allows me to take my time with a clients car. I mostly do full details and am targeting High End cars. I'm not really into cleaning Apple sauce from the rear seats and picking out 2 yr old french fries from between the seats LOL! I will if I have to but most of my clients take care of their cars to some degree. Anyway welcome and I will look forward to seeing some of your work posted on here. I need to post some more myself when I get the time.

I understand EXACTLY what you are saying!! :thx



I really feel the same way...



I am not buying turtle wax so I really don't want to do an 87' accord...



I will detail anything almost, but I have turned down jobs simply because it was beyond repair or the customer was looking for a 80 dollar detail!!
