Subbed. Very interested in this subject.

I watch for the grammar lessons: Uh, looks like blowed my motor uhhhpp. lol.

Very nice write up. I think it would be easy for myself, or anyone else, to nit pick on definitions of detailing and pricing, and other points. What stands out is that you put time and thought into writing this, spaced everything with paragraphs, and the pictures were a nice touch. I think a...

Can you be more specific in regards to comparing the odor of each product? On a scale of 1 - 10, with Iron-X being a 10 in rank odor, where on the scale of odor would the McKee's product place?

Do you guys have any legal language in your paperwork/agreements/contracts that protect you in such an event? I am in the process of redoing my paperwork, and am including such legal language to assist in protecting me from false accusations and customers with agendas. I have never had a...

Depends on your methods and the tools on hand. Also depends on the condition of a vehicle. Rinseless and waterless can be whatever you want them to be. You can use a hose, or not. You can rinse, or not. You can use water, or not. You can use spray bottles, pump sprayers, air tools, steamers...

Go to Ink Remover? I have some decent ink stain remover products. I would say they are ok / good, not great. I am still looking for that go to Ink Stain Remover product. Suggestions?

Well said and very good points. This conversation has been a bit over simplified, and we have all been speaking in very general terms for the most part. It is important to point out that the nature of the word detail implies a host of professional services. The majority of businesses that...

Paint correction is the very heart of detailing. All other services are lower in rank. A thorough cleaning is part of detailing, but is just part of the bigger picture, and not the big picture. Professional detailing is a true education and application of science and understanding regarding the...

I use spray waxes and detail sprays all the time. Never get streaking. When you say streaking, do you mean runs? As in a single stream of product running in a straight line from a window seam, door seem, panel seam, etc...? Product will stream out of cracks and crevices, you have to watch that...

There may not be an official definition of detailing. That does not mean it is not defined, nor does it mean anything goes, just because anyone can get away with it. Paint correction is a cornerstone of detailing. That does not mean a lesser service does not qualify as a detailed service. It...

I agree with the customer. If the advertised detailer only offers cars washes and simple wipe downs of interiors, this business is a car washing business and not a detailing business. While washing a vehicle is part of the process of a detail, and a detailed wash is certainly different than a...

I have no issues with UPS. They have done a great job for me. If something is different now, as in a higher number of damages or claims than previous years, then something has changed within the company. Most likely: - Higher demand on production (Bills Per Hour). - Raised expectations and/or...

I could never use Iron X as a Clay lubricant. The smell is just too bad. It is that difficult to put up with. Gets on your clothes and shoes, stinks up the air, stinks everywhere. Whenever I finish, or can sell off, what is left of my Iron-X, I will be giving McKee's a try.

Solvent and steam. If that does not work, try a heat gun. As for the other, I would go for a cash settlement. This job was poorly done. Probably a new guy learning on the job. Just a bad break, gotta roll with it, but get compensated.

#1 Marketing tool: The quality of your work. #1 Piece of advice to a new guy: Get legal first.

Several options. - A cheap steam cleaner is great for both cleaning and blowing out cracks and crevices. Good for engine cleaning as well. Look into McCullloch 1385. - Air Tools (Requires Air Compressor). Air guns and The Tornador are pretty much a necessity for interiors. They are also great...

The following are very good for allergy sensitive and chemically sensitive customers. Meguiars D106 and D116 Griots Garage Interior Cleaner

Excellent! Very well said. Good idea in referencing the 10% ceiling. This touches on a foundation rule for investing. The rule: Never invest more money than you can afford to lose. A rule that almost everyone breaks, and almost everyone who does so, pays for it. No one is going to bat a 1000%...
