    Mobile Generator Recommendations

    Possibly Mark, leaning towards the Honda, but I'll entertain the idea on yours. Price and any pictures? No biggie on derailing the thread. On a related note for those of you switching to a shop would you still not want to keep your generators for that random client who demands (and willing to...

    Headlight Restorations: Best Product & Warranties?

    It seems like this subject is kind of like "how long does a pair of jeans last". Going to really vary. Looks like I'll keep kicking with Opti-Lens.

    Mobile Generator Recommendations

    I thought the same thing, but after seeing a couple members here on the forum post about their HHR setups it seems pretty great. Save on fuel and still have enough cargo space. I haven't got one yet, but I'm leaning that way.

    Headlight Restorations: Best Product & Warranties?

    Do you ever have anyone scoff at only a 1 year warranty? Mind me asking your price range? Yeah short of doing automotive grade clear coat that's what I thought was Opti-Lens, but wanted to make sure.

    Mobile Generator Recommendations

    That Honda eu2000 is pretty sharp looking. Looks like it would fit my needs great. A quick Google search revealed you can get one for $999 including shipping. Plus if for some reason I needed double power it looks like you can buy a 2nd one and connect them together. May seriously consider...

    Mobile Generator Recommendations

    Been amping up to actually get a vehicle for mobile detailing. Looking towards maybe an HHR. Either way I'm thinking that getting a mobile generator is a good idea to power tools. Maybe to use a small 110V air compressor (so I can have access to blowing dust away, and using a Tornador) or...

    Headlight Restorations: Best Product & Warranties?

    Seeing what is the latest and best "permanent" product for headlight restorations? I've used Opti-Lens (10ml syringe tube) on several vehicles with great success with only car's headlights I did turning yellow in less than a year. I suspect it was something that was my fault in either the prep...

    De-cal Removal

    Another vouch for that 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover. When my main job was working in a body shop that's what we used for removing all the old decal residue and any other adhesive material. It does run and evaporate very fast so on vertical panels that you can't soak I would leave a use...

    Which products do you go "name brand" and which that you go generic?

    Hmm sounds like sticking to name brand for everything may still be the best option. I just figured some of the more "simple" things like APC or glass cleaners may not matter, but who knows.

    Credit card fees.... who's charging them?

    "Credit card convenience fees. Credit card companies charge a fee to businesses who accept their cards. This fee when paid or incurred by the business can be deducted as a business expense." Rock on for the IRS link to the rule. This seriously seems like a no...

    Electronic or Paper Receipts?

    What does everyone do as far as receipts? Electronic, especially with paired up with any of the software's out there like Square or Intuit Quickbooks is convenient especially not having to deal with paper waste. Or do you go with manual method or even print out receipts? Pros and cons?

    Credit card fees.... who's charging them?

    I'm glad this thread arised as I was coincidentally talking this over with some people about my business. A lot of good points for and against the fee. I was leaning towards telling potential customers at the time of booking that there was a convenience fee for credit cards, but I"m leaning...

    Which products do you go "name brand" and which that you go generic?

    I'm sure there are some people who buy ALL the products from a certain brand from all purpose cleaners to waxes, etc. Then I'm sure a lot, like myself, pick and choose different brands depending on the product like they. For example I like Optimum No Rinse for my rinseless car wash, quick...

    Mobile Detailers, Storing Supplies?

    I've seen your posts before, but I can't recall do you have a full blown trailer setup or van? Wonder if that impacts protecting from the heat/cold better. Do you cover Madison County, IL?

    Mobile Detailers, Storing Supplies?

    So is there really not an issue with high temperatures effecting stuff? Pretty much don't let it freeze and anything else it doesn't matter?
