I think if you paid for a logo, which apparently can be had for $5 at fiverr, you can slap it on all your documents, pictures, flyers, web flyers etc. And u can use a free program like paint.net, which is really intuitive and very easy to learn, to do just that. Its like microsoft paint, but...

Gimp isn't vector either. It's more suited as a photo editor too

The software to do it right costs a lot and takes a lot of time and trial and error to make something decent I personally use paint.net which is free, but it's not intended for graphic design. It's not a vector graphics program. I'd suggest hiring someone for a logo on like fiverr for cheap...

Awesome video lol

Thanks guys. Im regularly changing things around with my business, including what i offer and at what price. I don't typically get tires surgically clean enough for a coating on all of my work, nor do i apply tire dressing by hand. I think an extra solid 30 mins of labor is about right

To control a rotary, you gotta let it do its thing. Glide it around, and steer it mostly rom the rear handle and not the side handle. Keep it flat. The hand on the side handle or the head of the polisher is just a guide. I find it much more smooth with the side handle off, and just guiding the...

Thanks mark I planned on adding it to a dp coating package at no charge. Also paint correction work As far as the aio jobs and sealant jobs, I think a small upgrade fee is necessary. Maybe not $30 for $2 worth of product, but there is a decent amount of time involved.

I'm thinking about offering tire coatings. Specifically the OTC turtle wax coating If you don't mind to share, what do you guys charge? I was thinking a $30 upcharge for one coat on tires instead of dressing

I agree that most people will never view detailing as skilled. BUT I think the point to charge a "high" hourly rate is to target people who already view it as skilled. I doubt they want the tunnel wash detail crew to touch their car, and some of those places are charging $300 plus for a full...

I designed my own with space for their info, our info and the services paid for. Space for signatures on the back with disclaimers

If i were to start from scratch with $220 Harbor freight da $50 5" lc backing plate $15 Meguiars microfiber cutting discs x2 $20 5.5" lc flat pads (5x white polishing, 1x blue waxing) $35 Meguiars ultimate liquid wax or meguiars ultimate paste wax $20 30x microfibers from SAMs club $30 Roundup...

Thanks for the input guys Ill likely be investing in a few dry me a river jrs bc of the price and size. What concerns me a little is the listed gsm, but it should be a major improvement over our costco towels for drying. Ill also be picking up some super plush towels (like 10) for really nice...

^Agreed You can set yourself apart as a more expensive, more skilled, higher quality detailer. There will always be people wanting to pay for the best services

Right now i use a bunch of smaller towels to dry cars with. Im interested in purchasing quality waffle weaves dedicated for drying. I have however read somewhere that waffle weaves are more suited for blot drying as opposed to dragging bc it doesnt move comfortably Is this true? I like to...

Yes you're right there is a risk of light swirling. Also steel wool does shed a little bit. Even still, I'd rather use that over a spray on acid like spotless that may etch glass and is dangerous to your health. If the waterspots are somewhat fresh, they'll polish out with a da and compound...

Meguiars bc it's cheap and works well, is marketed extremely well and is not overhyped. It's easy to go with what everyone else is using

0000 steel wool and a cleaning polish/wax to lubricate the surface Some don't like it, but I've been doing this to hundreds of cars with no issues

Wow! Definitely shows that you guys do awesome elite level work, in a way that isn't boring or slow. Anyone deciding whether or not to choose you or your competition won't have much of a decision to make after seeing that vid. Seriously And what the heck is ghetto music? You gotta be pretty...

It depends on how bad the scratch is. Also, if it truly is scratch and swirl free then there shouldnt be an issue with the hand polished section standing out. Id pick up a polish and a compoud, and start with the polish first. Then try the compound if that doesnt work. Maybe meguiars ultimate...

Good advice. Definitely spend a lot more time dry brushing and vacuuming if you dont have a wet vac. Also, maybe consider a foam carpet cleaner
