Hello geeks. Today was a great day. I have always received tips from every job I have ever done. Today was different... I have put in 2 13 hour days the last 2 days on a new client with a 04 Chrysler Sebring. Client heard about me from an older lady I had done an interior job for about 3-4...

I try and trade services as much as I can to better my business instead of paying the cash. Easier for me that way because I have the inventory all the time. Can't always say the same for money.

I paid $2525 cash. Talked him down a grand because it needs rotors and pads all the way around and needs 2 dents on the driver side fixed. They are not huge but not small enough to ignore for getting graphics. As far as 3-4k on a wrap...No sir. You have to know how to trade services for...

Cool giveaway :props: My interest would be in these 2 newly added items. Satin Tire Gel - (Been looking for a great dedicated tire gel) Revive Trim Gel - (Always looking for longevity with Trim gels on black plastics & Areas under the hood.) Best of luck to everyone.:dblthumb2:

This is what I do. 3 5 gallon buckets full of hot water and 2 oz's of APC+ for 30 minutes in very hot water. Why 3 buckets? 1 exterior,1 interior,1 for everything else towel wise. I let them soak anywhere from 20-30 minutes but turning them every 10 minutes and getting as much out by hand as...

Thanks :xyxthumbs:. Never knew about the leaf springs that's is something I think I need to look into. :props: Thanks Todd :props: If the work flow keeps up maybe i'll have her done by December the way I envision it. Pricing it so far is going to be about 3-4K for everything including the...

Thanks :xyxthumbs: I won't be going crazy at first I'm going to take my time building it so it wont be nothing over night. I will buy things here and there but more than likely with my bills and family to take care of wont be fully mobile for a few months. I started this whole venture with...

Pics as promised. Little damage on the drivers side but nothing major to make me not want to buy it. Trip to the body shop will fix that no problem. Big thing for me was the van is 13 1/2 years old with ZERO rust and the engine was sound with low miles! On to the pics Lots to...

Thanks :) maybe I should go smaller I would be doing about 4 a day but wasn't sure on the sizing I needed for a tank. If you don't mind can you send a PM with the link where you got your tank?

Hello Geeks, Well been browsing since January for a decent priced and decent shape AWD Astro cargo van and today one went up for sale and I snagged her up. I pick her up in the mourning :) This is my biggest business purchase yet. I'm stoked about building it over time to my likings and what...

That's why they come and go no offense. People come to AGO. Read, do a job then find out they are decent at maintaining a finish or removing a stain....spend however much on supplies. 2 weeks later they want to go into business. You truly have to be in this business because you love it. Not for...

Clients like the pickup & drop off service because it is less work they actually have to do and just another thing you do in your "service". As far as doing it at their home/workplace compared to a drop off service. For me anyways is about the same so half the time I get to use my place, other...

As stated above direct sunlight is king. Get some shades and move the car around if needed to inspect different panels. If you can't get it under the sunlight and don't own a light (or are not getting far with the one you have). A trick I have found is going to a empty lot at night under all...

Yes it works on Billet aluminum just be gentle and take your time. As far as the cones go I use Original powerball,mini and about 90% of the time it does everything I need it to do. What drill are you using?

I agree with the rest on D156 except it's not really a wax it is a synthetic sealant with more sealant properties than wax properties. A good combo I have found that works well for about 6 weeks (can upload pics later tonight) if you want to go with the sprays is D156 topped with Xmt 360. Both...

:iagree: It's claymagic who owns the patent. Although the good ol korean blue bar works pretty well also if you can find them at a steal in bulk. Little harder to knead but does a great job. I use mothers most the time and find it too easy as far as kneading goes and find myself more times than...

ELBOW GREASE DUH!! j/k :) Any dawn dish soap should strip all protection off and is cheap and effective.

Because my steamer is still heating (takes 11 minutes) but I normally let it warm up for 20 for less water drip and use the idle time as stated above. And I do use D103 just not directly on the surface I normally put a good 4-5 squirts in a MF towel and run it over vinyls and plastics along with...

Well sometimes you have to just pass. It is after all your name on the line. If I know I can't get the results I want or my standard because they gave me a time frame that is one that I the professional know cannot be done. I don't take the work. Word of mouth gets out and it can hurt ya.

Boy that sure looks like a comfy way to spend a day reading the forums :)
