    Pricing / Customer Crossroads.

    It seems the two customers you referenced, know what quality is, and what it's worth. I too get a lot of people who see my prices and say $55 for a car wash...! I say if all you want is a car wash, take $5, and go to any local drive-thru car wash and call me when you're finished. I then go on...

    Yet another Opti-Coat thread...

    Thanks Corey. I have been franticly researching the forums trying to find this information, mostly for myself... but also in order to intelligently explain and ultimately SELL this to my clients. I think in light of all the questions and uncertainty surrounding Opti-Coat, a sticky is in order...

    opti coat on headlights?

    That's why I originally bought it. Works great. Can't comment on durability as my oldest application is only 3 days old.

    taxes

    I'm not sure if there are any qualified CPA's or business lawyers on here, I am not. You seem to have quite a few questions and as a new business owner, you should. In order to make certain you do not miss anything which might leave you exposed to tax or other liabilities, I would recommend...

    taxes

    I live in Michigan. I have to collect sales tax on any merchandise I would sell, but not on services (yet). You'll want to contact a CPA or at least familiarize yourself with your state's sales and use tax requirements. This information can usually be found on your State's official website.

    Depends on where you live. Some states require sales tax collection on services, some do not.

    Yet another Opti-Coat thread...

    OK... so I would look for the same characteristics as if I were removing a traditional sealant or wax: No more beading indicates removal.

    Yet another Opti-Coat thread...

    Yeah... but I am by no means bashing or questioning the durability of the product... Just that it's relatively new to the market and I am looking to the future when a client returns for a re-application. How do I know if the coating is still there doing it's job.

    Anyone tried using these on a rotary...? I'm headed outside to give it a shot!

    Yet another Opti-Coat thread...

    I recently purchased Opti-Coat and my intent was to use it strictly for headlight restos... however, I am quite intrigued by it and it's longevity. I thought about testing on the Wife's 2005 Equinox. My question is, and I know it is supposed to be a "permenant" coating, how do you know when...

    Painted plastic and rubber parts - How to detail?

    From personal experience, watch plastic bumper covers when using the rotary. Some newer bumper covers and even trim pieces are not painted in the traditional method. They have a coating or film on them. Kind of like a vinyl wrap you'd see on a commercial vehicle.

    Myths In Detailing ?~?~?~?~?

    I think that is just in case while applying the wax, if you accidentally induce scratches/swirls, it wouldn't be as obvious. Mike Phillips had a term for it ... straight line... something...
