To add to Godspeed's great explanation, I will attempt to complicate it. Have you ever been in a position where you knew what dilution % you wanted to achieve, but didn't' know how much IPA to add to the water? (YZ)/X= Where X= The percentage of your IPA (ex. .5 = 50%) Y= Dilution ratio you...

Does that cover if you actually mess something up during the detailing process?

I plan on setting up an LLC soon.

It makes cleaning crevices so much easier

Click on the link: Rug Doctor I got it from Wal-Mart for $125. The head is difficult to maneuver, but it works.

I started it @ 6pm, in hour into the job and I was in the dark w/ only a flashlight. That slowed me down A LOT. But you're right, I was back tracking a lot. At the end though, I was exhausted and she was very happy.

Absolutely agree. My budget is limited at the moment, but getting a better extractor is in the future. I used a rug doctor, It worked, but it took time, as I had to blot with a rag as well. I have a Mcculloch Steamer, but I didn't use...need more practice with it. To vacuum I used a...

I'm going to ask my daughter to make me one. Ergonomical for sure

I could see that working. I need to do a bit more research on process of doing boats. I'm guessing, everything Marine-oriented is very tough, including the hull coating.

Depending on the size of the RV that could really stretch the $20/ft. Do you add to it, if the RV is taller?

So, there I was getting a haircut, talking about detailing with another patron. he asked, "You do boats?" I replied, "I don't" "You should, you can get $20 a foot" Not trying to make this a huge thread, but Is there a "rate-per-foot" on boats and RVs?

That is funny

Really great advice. One thing to remember, it's probably already been hit, but remember: slow is smooth and smooth is fast. At first, I was so worried about doing everything fast that I wasn't doing anything correctly. One day, I finally took a breath and started timing myself doing it...

I just finished establishing business name, EIN #, and Bank Account. It's time for business insurance now. I'm going to talk to a local insurance company on Monday. Any hot topics or things to be aware of that pertain specifically to mobile side of detailing? I'm not very knowledgeable in...
