For posterity.... here's the original copy from the first page
Mike Phillips VIF or Vehicle Inspection Form
I have a lot of people that have e-mailed me and also sent me PM's to get a copy of my VIF form for their detailing business. This form is vitally important and if you're detailing cars for money, either part-time, full-time or as a hobby then you should not touch the car until this form is filled out and signed by your customer.
Due credit where credit is due
I obtained the original version of this form years ago from my long-time friend and professional detailer,
Lenny House. I tweaked it with my own customizations to make his form work better for me. I've also asked for input from my good friends and professional detailers,
Renny Doyle,
Joe Fernandez and
Robert DiTerlizzi.
Living Document
This form will be a
living document, that is... I expect and encourage all our forum members to get a copy, use it and
if you find a way to improve it for the benefit of all of us then your improvements will be added and the official form updated. I consider myself a perpetual student in that I'm always learning and always open to new ideas, technology, pads, products etc. This also means I'm always open to feedback to improve this form to continually make it the best it can be.
Plus, your name will be added as a contributor to the form. Below I will maintain current Screen Shots of the form as it evolves.
