    Wax residue

    I used to do the exact same thing on my own cars. Customer cars I am waaaay more meticulous. I almost always would find spots about a week after I did my cars. Customer cars always get 2 or 3 walks around before I give it the ok. I've actually gotten calls to clean up other detailers' leftover wax.

    I just booked another estimate through the group for sunday morning. They're really good as far as referrals AND you also have access to other contractors who have good reputations.

    Stupid mistake please help!

    Any update? Pictures? I think everyone would like to actually see the damage so you can get more accurate advice. As was already stated, DON'T do anything else yet.

    I was heading home from work. The commuter bus that I take has WIFI but they block anything that has streaming content so no youtube or tunein.

    Did I ever. I nailed the Streamer down for $350 and it was in brand new condition. Sold it to buy a Guild Pilot that I kept for exactly 1month after I found it was a dud when I took it to a gig. One of those times I was over the moon happy that I always bring 2 basses when I gig

    The one I'm playing on "The Seeker" is a Streamer standard tha I bought on Ebay. The Corvette LTD / Streamette is a bit of a case queen these days. They only built 75 of em and there are only 74 left as one was destroyed by guitar center hacks.

    I would look up "small business groups" in your area or "small business referral groups".

    Thanks ! A couple of them have since been downsized but my 2 main basses remain which are the Corvette LTD (more commonly known as the Streamette) and the Fortress Masterman. Love them both. I get pangs of guilt when I sell a bass but sometimes it just has to be done.I think the most I've had at...

    Nikon...Blowing off steam

    That sucks. Bad battery? Bad charger? If you do go with Canon, We have 3 Power Shot cameras and LOVE them. One of them is about 9 years old and has had the snot beat out of it and the only thing that ever happened is the battery door flew off once. Snapped back on and it's fine.

    Best bet is to google them in your area. Like I said, I kinda found mine by accident as my exterminator is a member and he mentioned that they did not have any detailers in the group. I actually lost an interior job to a group member who cleans carpets. I'm guessing that they felt that someone...

    Try as I might, I never learned to read music. I was never a great student in general and in music I found that I learned more my listening so that's what always worked for me. My Upton was a Jazz/Bluegrass Hybrid which was renamed a few years later. Gary is a great guy to deal with. I jokingly...

    Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan you're killin' me. I bought an Upton about 9 years ago. Had to sell her when money got tight. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her.

    Before spending ANY money, see if there is a local small business group near you. Last year at the behest of my exterminator I joined his small business group which is essentially a group who use each other for referrals. I've gotten 3 new customers in the past month from them which may not...

    What to do when more challenges appear on vehicle after original estimate?

    I just gave a customer an email quote based on a Cayenne that I recently detailed. The quote came with the following " When we schedule the appointment, I will walk the car with you and we can address anything beyond your package that would need attention ". I do it with every customer and if I...
