It depends how your business is structured, this is sole proprietorship or a corporation? There’s a big difference between those two because for example a sole proprietorship is easy to file business income and expenses at the end of the year with your personal taxes where as a corporation...

I have a 1le as well and I will say good luck with that! Haha I hate stepping on the brakes after cleaning the rims because the brakes dust like crazy. A good assortment of brushes and I like the foam finger pockets for getting in the books and crannies.. If you keep up with it I like the...

Absolutely! It’s funny because I have multiple vehicles and i always try to squeeze my Camaro in before she figures out what I am doing, because once she figures it out Then i am racing to at least get the Camaro (daddy’s yellow car) done so she can then help with the other vehicles I...

So for Father’s Day with auto geeks 20% off sale I decided to finally splurged on a few items and purchase a new Montana triangle boars hair brush for quickie washes on my cars (mainly my 2500hd) Lately my five-year-old daughter Abigail loves spending time with her daddy when i wash my cars...

Yeah, before I was fully equipped with my trailer a customer told me that he had a water hose and nozzle available so I thought cool I don’t have to load one up, when I got there he had one of those stupid coil hoses that would slingshot back to the house every time you let go of it. So I spent...

I was mobile for quite a few years and I will say that it is so much easier bringing your own stuff. For example I had my water tank and hose reel set up so it was so easy to pull my hose from my trailer compared to trying to hook up to a customers hose or water spigot. Plus by having a...

I agree with this Of course insurance is always recommended however I went for years without it only detailing a couple cars here and there because I factored in that the cost of the insurance plus a deductible I would be better off just paying for any damage out of pocket. I never drove...

Condo association bylaws are enforceable. Most of them ban vehicle maintenance, commercial vehicles, trucks or vans with ladder racks or lettering, boat and trailer parking etc Some ban parking regular pickups and leaving garbage cans out and anything else under the sun that someone finds...

Practice with your friends (face to face) or family. The more you do it and start learning how to talk to people the easier it gets. Even though they might not have intentions of getting the car detailed or can’t afford it at least you can play around and practice with them and get their input...

You have to continually sell yourself, for example anytime I saw someone with a nice car even at a gas station filling up Or something I would compliment how nice/clean/cool their car is and get an idea of how receptive they are. Then start asking if they maintain it themselves or if they have a...

This is exactly what happened to me, I used to love detailing my cars and figured that it would be a great way to make extra money. Then I started doing customers cars and I lost a lot of my passion for it. Plus my life priorities changed and a car isn’t such a big expense to me anymore like...

I stopped detailing for money years ago but I work full time for the railroad working 230-1030 pm with th/fr off and I work construction in the morning 7am til noon during the week. Usually work around 65 hours a week but it allows my wife to be a stay at home mom. I can tell you it depends on...

Must be a great forum since us “old timers” keep coming back!! Haha I remember when you first came to auto geek mike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure Klasse But the forums certainly were different back then since the smart phone was basically a brand new concept and uploading pictures was a huge pain! You had to upload pictures from your digital camera to your computer and try to pick the right format to upload them to the forum...

I just looked at my sign up date and realized that I signed up over 10 years ago now! My how time flys! I remember how excited I was when I first found this forum and the hours I have spent here reading, learning, and comparing products. I am proud to say that this was my first forum that I...

I did not have a pressure washer, my pump was used just with a garden hose which provided great pressure. I also did not have a separate battery in the trailer, the power came directly off the main battery in my truck But yes if I had a pressure washer the pump would feed water pressure from...

I had a wire run from my truck battery that automatically connected when I plugged in my trailer lights. I changed the 4 prong plug to a 6 prong trailer connector Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1 Plus you could also use the pump without the pressure washer to do a standard wash or if you want to be more gentle than using a pressure washer... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
