I've searched and searched, but couldn't find anything on it. I agree with the view on management. I know it's a long shot, but I was hoping it could be a point of pride for the complex or something when they are looking to lease. Like an amenity or something. Flyers can get annoying, but also...

To add to the pricing issue, I've considered only raising the price of the basic wash to persuade the customer to add the wax. I've also considered not claying the car prior to the wax application. It doesn't seem to add much value to a lot of my customers and I feel like the value will be even...

Hi everyone! I've been planning for the last month or so to set up some contracts with apartment complexes. The basic idea is to set up at the front office of the complex and detail the residents' cars all day. I'm planning on putting flyers on everyone's door there to get the word out and it...

Thanks Bill! I had no idea.

That's good to know. Thank you

Thanks I'll check them out. I just bought Griot's 6" so buying the Flex is out of the question at the moment.

I believe the roof is a type of hard plastic. Was planning on just washing it and hitting problem spots with APC. It lives outside currently and my grandfather isn't looking for perfection.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

So I'm looking at buying this 3M Marine Rubbing Compound to remove the oxidation and hopefully the scratches. I'm thinking I'll try my DA, but if it's too slow then switch to the rotary with a wool pad. Then would it work if I follow the compound with Klasse AIO or will it need to be followed...

Is there a chance that it's just a standard clear coat? It seems to be different IMO, but I have no experience with RVs or boats so I wouldn't know. If it is a gel coat, my dad has an old rotary I could borrow and I'll just buy a wool pad for it. Can I just approach the wash and LSP similar...

Hey guys, I've been asked by my grandpa to detail his RV inside and out. I want to make sure I have enough supplies before I start this as I've never detailed an RV before. I'm looking at this as a great way to stock up on pads and accessories for my 6" GG DA also. Here are the pics: Some...

Pretty excited about getting my first DA!

Wow. That does not look fun. When I clean headliners I use a steamer and blot the spot with a towel after. APC on tougher stains. I've never had water spots though or that much surface to cover. Good luck! I can't imagine how your arms are gonna be burning when you're done with that!

The glass wasn't bad, but he had just taken it to the local car wash so maybe it was able to get it off the glass and not the paint

A DA is definitely the next thing I'm buying. I've been looking at Griot's. I may have to get that over with and start learning. Is a one step easy enough to do as a mobile detailer? Also, how do you normally price that/how long should one take? Thanks!
