Hope it brings in some customers and allow me to build my skills to do a higher level detailing program. My idea is use this to get my name out there. Not making a...

    No turning back now…

    Thanks Jon! I do a lot of side work with mechanical, modifications and body/paint so this just fills it in a little more. 4 kids to feed so more money is never a bad thing. But it may take over. Thanks for the product recommendations! Right now we are using 95% Megs products. I knew from the...

    I ask for advice: Evaluate my detailing fluids & what I may need?

    That unit has some miles huh... Hey, I am sure I speak for more than a few. Your articles are very well detailed, to the point, and even without pictures easily understood. Hard to accomplish especially when explaining technique. Just wish I was closer to be able to participate in one of your...

    I ask for advice: Evaluate my detailing fluids & what I may need?

    More excellent suggestions I had not thought of. I would have gone GC but the local place I went to was out. Once I use up the DC I had planned on going with GC. Seems a clear winner in all of my research. Thanks!!

I want to be best suited for most anything I come across. I feel I have a pretty good base but want your guidance on what I may be missing that you feel...
