Morning (at least it is here). By the looks of things I'll be changing my detailing work from workshop based to mobile. Most would see the reverse as the ideal situation but mine is motivated by money more than anything. The rent on the workshop I am in is the cheapest around & currently ~30%...

Give a gentle push on those side bits...most bumpers have clips along there & they might not be seated properly.

Agree with the extras being thrown in...either for the car or first few services free. Don't let them get away with it.

Long story short, just picked up a Hilux with a canopy on the back. The last owner had a section of material between the rear of the cab & the front of the canopy to protect the contents inside from weather (for some reason there's no front window on the canopy). Definitely want to remove as it...

I'm sure there would be different charges depending on what the customer wants.

(Not sure if this is the right section to post, assumed most people in this section are business owners...) Looking for some inspiration to set up a detailing vehicle, keen to see what everyone else has without trawling through heaps of threads. So post up your current setup, a couple of...

Haha, I haven't been on Autogeek for a while but jumped back on to pose this exact question. Situation with me is: slow business, customers don't care about anything more than a shiney clean car. Bills are mounting & not getting cheaper. My biggest cost is the workshop rent...it isn't fully...

Love showing my customers this image when they want a leather clean. Rear seat, obviously the left side is not cleaned, no conditioner applied to the right, just cleaned. Owner didn't think it was that bad before. And the final result...

Feed back please Where I operate my workshop, detailing is not a big 'thing'. Where I am originally raised & schooled it is much the same. I get referred to as a 'car wash' pretty much daily even though the customer knows I don't just splash & dash, they know I do detailing but refer to it as...

Mines just under 15%.

What he said ^. I basically have the big bottles of interior cleaner & silk shine because I <3 it, the polishes & waxes are all the small bottles until I'm convinced it's a good one & I'll buy the bigger one. That and it's cheaper on the bank balance to get 2 small bottles & buy a new one when...

Sounds like you're in the same position as me, I'm about a fortnight away from installing new lights (2 warehouse style units & few more fluro's) in my workshop. Lining the walls the week after for a fresher, cleaner & more brighter look. Keen to see your results.

Does he have a wife? $500 says she did it & either too afraid to admit it or didn't even know she hit something. Even if you were to pay up, it sounds like his big mouth will still spread a bad rep about you so you may as well fight it I say. Meet with the GM & explain all the info you have &...

Chemical Guys Silk Shine has a delicious smell, nearly drank it once.

Can't afford it, don't buy it?
