    Most people spend less than 3 minutes looking on my site. I want them to quickly and easily find the info they are looking for. Sometimes those fancy sites have to much going on.

    I'm in Massachusetts and the rule i go by is once the night time temps start dipping below freezing then it is to cold to effectively detail.

    Paint transfer removal

    It should polish off easily. Any good compound should do the trick.

    Enter HERE for a chance to try New Griot's Garage products!

    The Boss 15 has become my favorite polisher. It's actually the only Griot's product I have ever used so I would love to see some of their other stuff. Count me in.

    Pros, how long do you take to do a "full detail" on a sedan?

    It depends what you have for equipment. It would take me between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 hrs depending on condition. By full detail I'm referring to my deluxe detail.

    New Shop Build

    What are those buildings called. I see a lot of guys running detail shops out of that type of building but I don't think there are any around me. When I google "auto bay for rent" I always get old service stations. What do I google to find a building like that?

    Advise need for mobile part time start up

    I hardly ever use my business cards, only time I use them is when I leave one in a customer's cup holder. Maybe it's me but they seem old school. My wife is a graphic designer and marketing professional and she is always pushing digital media as opposed to printed media.

    Advise need for mobile part time start up

    Yes. It was through Yahoo small business. It's some other company now that bought Yahoo small business. It is nothing fancy and was set up using some basic templates from the site. After customers get their cars detailed they don't hang on to your card or the receipts and they just Google you...

    On the logo I can't read the small writing. Prices are dependent on your area. I would say the website is must. My site is like $10 a month, I couldn't imagine not having one. When people need to get a service done they just Google everything.

    Polisher Suggestions For A Newbie?

    If you want a machine that is more comfortable to use go with the Cyclo Pro. It is a versatile machine because if you upgrade your polisher someday you can use it as a scrubber and it will last a generation or two.

    unique ways of getting new customers

    Have you had luck with it? I don't see how a place where people post pics of their food, cats and kids is a good place to spend advertising dollars. Spend the money on what works- Google ad words express. Detailing is a service, people search for a service when they need it. People don't...

    Pricing is dependent on your market, I'm in Massachusetts so I can't help.

    What steps to take to legitimize mobile detailing?

    Yes, you need a dba if you are doing business as anything other than your name. You do not have mobile detailing as part of your legal name so a dba is required. Your accountant will help with paying your taxes. In Ma we don't need to collect any sales tax on services so you are ok there.

    are you a quality or quantity person

    I'd rather do 6 quality jobs over one big quality job. Word of mouth is what grows a business. I would rather have 6 happy customers than one.

    Detailing Menu

    I'm at the other end of the state so different market but I do know and talk with some of the established guys near you. Where did you come up with your prices? If you look at your competitors you are very low. So low that you may only get calls from the really cheap people.
