    Advice for a startup

    I agree with the previous comments. Dealers will give you work. Be prepared to work cheap. I would focus on gathering detailing supplies and basic tools. Never mind the big power wash unit. Unless your gonna go wash houses or something. Get yourself a small gas or electric unit. I started...

    Metro BasterBlaster 665 MPH?

    I have one as well it's awesome and if you don't run it on its own 20 amp breaker it will trip your circuits. We do a lot of motorcycle detailing and couldn't imagine life without it. (Regardless) of wind speed coming out of the hose)

    How would you handle this?

    Ya guy's like this need a slap! Your best chance is to tape that bad boy up and start sanding. Depending on the thickness of the paint.if factory your good for 1500 and perhaps a little 1200 for the bad ones. My guess will be to shoot for removing MOST of the scratches and not all. That way if...

    Logo Removal

    Hope things are working out for you. When you have severely dried decals it can be a real pain. It's just time consuming. You asked what to charge. My suggestion to you is to establish a labor rate. Then you won't have to worry about losing your shirt when stuff doesn't go as planned. I have...

    Picking up a new trailer, suggestions needed!

    If there is any chance to trade the car for a truck that would be your best option for pulling a trailer. Then you could go a little bigger. I have a 6.5x12 with a ramp style rear entry. Had it wired by an electrician for outside/inside 120 amp power and 8" fluorescent interior lighting. I've...

    Logo Removal

    Heat is essential! I have done this type of work for a long time. Go to Loes, you can buy a nice heat gun for $40 and it will last you a lifetime. Yes an eraser wheel works nice but you will need a compressor and some of those tools can cost upwards of $500! Now for me I heat them, then take a...

    Odor Removal Problem – Any Ideas?

    I almost think this is all too much. ozone for 24 hours? What was the dealer thinking! Then a bag of air fresheners on top of that. Now your just chasing all the wrong they caused. One would think after the paintwork, a thorough cleaning would have worked. We have all smelled cars fresh from...

    Extractor Problems

    A few years back I had a thermal cp 5. Talk about a headache! It broke all the time and repairs were expensive. I currently have a malco xtrax 1200. It's bigger but there is always at least two of us to lift it into the van. It works well and seems to be bullet proof. I went for the bigger unit...
