    Mobile detail detail on public streets/lots?

    That just seems totally untrue. If people don't want you at their house maybe it's time to reevaluate your presentation.

    Question for mobile detailing guys with small vans?

    I run an on demand shurflo pump. Gravity feed is terrible and no pro should rely on that.

    Question for mobile detailing guys with small vans?

    I run a 2.6 gpm Honda gas with 110 gallon water tank. I rarely fill it up. With it completely full I can get six jobs out of it, maybe 7 but I rarely do more than 2-3 vehicles per day as my jobs tend to be on the larger size.

    Mobile detail detail on public streets/lots?

    99% of your business should be in somebody's driveway. You're over thinking it. I've been in business three years and I've never done a job on a busy public street. I tell my customers if your driveway isn't clear, clear it. If it's not a boat or an RV I don't work in the street period.

    How to Make Money on SUV's

    If it was taking him 7 hours to do essentially a wash, clay and sealant on a mid size SUV as a pro I'm guessing he's no longer in the game.

    If you're trying to be a professional you should be buying the best towels you can get your hands on not buying them at Costco or the auto parts store.

    Advice for someone considering a mobile detailing side business?

    Fwiw I was referring to the fact that terrible hard water and extreme heat are usually a bad mix and that he will most likely have to carry his own spot free water.

    Advice for someone considering a mobile detailing side business?

    Re: Advice for someone considering a mobile detaling side hustle!!! Impossible to use the water in many municipalities. I'm assuming Las Vegas is one of those places.

    Most appropriate,time, place to hand out business cards etc?

    To your friend, of course he is breaking a law. A federal law. A mailbox is intended for receipt of postage paid us mail only. That's a no brainer.

    Most appropriate,time, place to hand out business cards etc?

    Almost every customer that I do a job for asks for multiple cards so that's a good ploy. I'm going through about 200 cards a week right now and I'm super stingy with them.

    Most appropriate,time, place to hand out business cards etc?

    That's needle in a haystack stuff. Save your business cards for people that ask for them, you'll get poor enough return using that method forget just giving them out to random people.

    How to remove Nasty Film on Interior Plastics?

    The problem with the dash and door panels is the grain. That's where the brush comes in. You'll never get it out of the grain with a rag.

    How to remove Nasty Film on Interior Plastics?

    It looks like cars that I do that have sunscreen all over the doors. It's really common here. The only thing I've found that gets it out is lightly diluted apc and one of those yellow scrubby interior brushes.

    I'll give you an anecdotal story about bofa merchant services. I used to run an online golf business, one of the first actually. I sold ping fully customized where you could completely configure it online and order it. Ping decides that they want to eliminate my business model so they say you...
