Services you guys offer?

Shawn, I have a Glasweld kit for sale that is lightly used and has plenty of resin, pit filler and all the other tools needed to get started. It is the last generation pressure vac unit but works great and is like new. I had great results with it. PM me if you are interested.

Is window tinting hard? I was thinking of doing mine in my vette, afraid about the back window, I can do the two side windows, I was thinking 15%

I'm hoping to get same started, I'm kind of telling them I can, but not advertise saying I can do it yet, just to make sure I can do it correctly before telling everyone I can.

Same here. Headlight restoration isn't hard, I just need a few more supplies for badly damaged headlights (like the ones on my parents' car). I don't have any unigrit sandpaper, but I really should order some.
 
Window tinting def. takes a sometime to learn to be able to do things right. Cutting isn't terrible... but the shrinking of back windows is a talent as well as being able to fix an early bubble etc.... outsource it....



One of my best friends owns his own tint company, and we happen to be renting a shop together, so he quotes me a semi discounted price, say 160 and I charge 200-225 (example). While trying to upsale the detail etc and vice versa for details upselling tint. You may only make 40-65 bucks more, but you didn't do anything but make an app. and a receipt. 3 cars a week=$120 times 4 weeks, 480-500 more in your pocket.

Not bad, sounds like a good investment, how is the customer flow, busy?

Thanks, I've been researching wetsanding for a while now, what I've seen is use 2000 grit, 3000 grit soak over night or at least 30 minutes before, and keep plenty of water on the surface, working the same way and dry periodically to see if scratches are being removed to not over sand the clear.

I hope you're not wetsanding on customer cars when it sounds like you have no experience in it, other than youtube videos.
 
I'd say I get him 1-3 cars a week, and say out of 10 cars a month, we get 2-3 details out of it. So it's not horrible. My friend who owns it, stays very busy! Slower months are nov/dec/jan/feb but that's why you get retail jobs so they keep you busy. We're in IL so tint on front windows is about to be legal... we're excited.
