If it's anything like the car we fixed last year that was cleaned with a scratchy sponge, we had to wet sand, compound and polish.

I think you guys are mixing up the words professional and expert. You're a professional when you earn a living (or in some cases simply making money) doing something, be it playing golf or detailing. You can be an expert at something without being a professional. I mean it's right in the...

Just to give you an update, because I know you don't care, we did almost $15k in June. The last month we did under $10k was July 2018. Not that you believe me. But, I know you do because I know you check my instagram because I know you ripped off how we do our IG pictures, so you know how...

BMW leather typically starts looking a little worn at 3-4 years. Obviously, YMMV based on your driving habits, mileage, local temps, garaging status, your weight, etc. Many factors will determine how your leather will wear. My wife drives only to and from work at night and in the moring...

Clean and condition the seats a couple times a year. Then trade the car in 3-4 years. Honestly, you're overthinking it a little. I'm sure the product you listed is fine, but there's better products available as Chemical Guys is typically pretty overpriced for what it is.

Advice? Yeah, try not to let your car get to be 100 years old. LOL

This is the reason that businesses fail. LOL Seriously, if the OP has Apple money to help with his branding, by all means name the company Lemon Drop and then spend $100 million to make sure everybody knows that Lemon Drop is an auto detailing company. Otherwise, follow my advice. Or follow...

I'm not trying to tell you how to run your business, but if you're name confuses customers and is not memorable and doesn't provide a clear indication of who you are and what you can do for people, it's not a good business name. You like it, that's great, that's not enough to make it a good...

You chalk it up to a lesson learned and I guarantee you it won't happen again. Every person that has started this business from scratch has been beaten by a job or ten. It's part of any business really. Honestly, the time for adding extra charges for services was when you first discovered...

Honestly, I don't care for either. On top of that, they're both really busy.

You've got to get the food out of the car. I know your kids are little and little kids like to eat in the car, but they're not going to die if they go without car snacks for a few days. Believe me, I have multiple customers with little kids who do not allow eating in their cars and the kids...

Just out of curiosity, why did you start advertising a service that you couldn't provide? Personally, I've thought about branching out into several different areas. You know when I'd advertise that? Long after I was competent at it, certainly not when I was still watching youtube videos to...

Wow, I can't believe I missed this the first time. You don't have a clue. Traffic? LOL Phoenix? LOL Whatever.

The picture is pretty blurry so it's hard to say for sure, but typically scratches on the film in straight lines like that are put in from having some type of debris in the track or in your case, the portion of the track where the glass slides into. Or it could just be the the track fits very...

No, in fact you really want the panel prep to be the last thing you do before coating. Why risk recontaminating the paint after you presumably just completely decontaminated it?

Anecdotal I'm sure, but I've done probably 100 six step headlight restorations with mine and it's still going strong. I did have to replace the plug on the power cord because it caught fire about six months ago.

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but those look like the plastic is pitting. So not really specs of anything but deteriorating from the inside.

+1 I just had time to detail my rig last week for the first time in a couple months. I've run a hose over it a few times to knock off the big stuff, but detail it, no way, just not enough time in the day when you're busy every day. And I mean every day.

Steam, flood with clean water, scrub, vac and then steam again with the triangle brush covered with a towel.

Took a mental health day and detailed the rig today. LOL
