I know the topic is weird, and I'm sure this is the first post like this. (maybe) Anyways.... what types of clothes do you wear for detailing? Do you wear cloth, polyester, etc. etc.? Just curious, because one of the next things I plan to do is make my business outfit. (I'm still stuck on color, but that's beside the point)


Okay, thanks and hope this isn't to hard to understand.


(Pics would be cool too, up to you though) :)

Well I only detail on weekends from home. Customers usually drop their car off on a Friday night (when I am still in my normal weekday job clothes). Given I am in the privacy of my own garage I simply wear a pair of drawstring shorts with no zips/buckles etc that could scratch the car, and a comfortable t-shirt. I then change into something a little more 'presentable' for when the customer collects.
 
I always wear a pair of black Nike mesh style shorts and one of my DriFit Nike t-shirts. On a cooler day I have a pair of Nike pants and might even add a Nike hooded sweatshirt. In case you can't tell I'm a Nike fan...
 
It depends what I am doing and the temperature outside. Normally, it is shorts, t shirt and flip flops. If I am doing machine buffing, I wear closed toe shoes.


My biggest thing, is making sure that my employees do not have many zippers facing the paint. I always have a few extra button down flannels for people to wear instead of their zippered clothes.
 
Khaki shorts, comfortable shoes, and a white moisture wicking t-shirt with my logo on it. Looks very professional.


 


I get my stuff at www.logoup.com
 
Queensboro.com


 


I spent a bunch a few years ago and have a lot of options- lab coat, coveralls, long sleeve, short sleeve, sweaters, jackets, coating briefcase, travel bags, etc. All with my logo. I make golf towels for the high end customers and leave them on their bags. Was a good investment. I never meet a customer without some logo attire. The lab coat is worn only for applying coatings, but has a nice effect.
 
I think it's also important for your website, business card, and attire to follow along a certain pattern


 


You dont want black and blue business cards, maroon shirt, and a black and red website.. not that its bad, but I think you should make yourself recognizable all around to the customer


 


But basically, my banner, business cards, and shirt (hard to do it for the website), is all set up the same. So people automatically start to recognize me a lot more


 


but to be direct, I have (10) black Hanes poly shirts, with my name up front, and name/website on the back. I think im going to start wearing Nike shorts when it gets above 100 F. But usually I'll wear some comfortable cargos with no belt 
 
Depending on the time of year...


 


When it's warm Kaki shorts, sneakers, and a company t-shirt. I have company Polo's for when I'm meeting with higher end clients or going to an event. Also, have hats made with my logo.


 


When it's cold out jeans, work boots, company t-shirt, and a company hoodie. No zippers on the hoodie.


 


All my logos throughout my website, business cards, banners, shirts, hats, and hoodies all match. Only different is my t-shirts and hoodies I have in both blue and black. So I can change it up some times.
 
I had to make a big change a month ago.

People thought I was cleaning my own Rv.


After that, I realized that I needed a change of appearance.

Enter my CG green aprons. Now, there is no question that me

and my crew are workers, not residents. Plus, we are more efficient

due to the pockets on the apron.
 
Thanks again guys!


1 last question.


When you look down at your shirt/jacket/etc. is the logo + name on the left or the right side?


Silly Question. But thanks! :)
