    Taking the plunge?

    Yes and no. Get your legal ducks in a row before starting... Insurance, license, HOA and EPA. You can work on everything else once your up and running... Online presence and other marketing you chose to pursue.

    Water tanks

    Water softeners replaces calcium and the other hard minerals with salt. The salt still causes water spots but it is easier to remove. My city claims water TDS at 444 but I've seen it as high as 480. The RO/DI takes my wash water down to 0 TDS. I can count on not having water spots which saves...

    Water tanks

    I fill mine up at my house. Our city water is extremely hard so I run it through a RO/DI system.

    Quick question on business

    I agree with above... Build up slow and roll the money earned back into the business. I started part time 1-2 cars a week and increased my equipment, products and services over time. I'm now full time with a 7x14 enclosed trailer filled with everything I need. I'm currently saving up to get the...

    Flex 3401 vs 4inch backing plate system carnage

    Speed preference aside, if the backing plate cannot handle the max speed of the machine it was made for then it should come with a advisory on it. I've had 2 fail with felt ring oiled, and plates installed with the proper washers and bolts. 1 after a panel and a 1/2 on speed 6. The other after...

    New guy from Texas

    Welcome from New Mexico. I recently went full time with my mobile operation. I used to not be a fan of windows either but then I got some huck towels. They make it easy.

    Flex 3401 vs 4inch backing plate system carnage

    I had this happen with my first LC backing plate. Ran it at speed 6 and got about as far as you did into a correction before it melted. AG replaced it and it picked up another. Installed on both my 3401s, swapped out after each panel and never went about speed 5. A few corrections later and one...

    Chevy SSR Side step help

    As a detailer and also a two-time Chevy SSR owner, I can tell you the best thing for this is magic eraser. Wet it and get to scrubbing. I have pretty much tried everything in this work the best. The runningboards on my automatic were horrible and after about an hour each worth of scrubbing...

    Importance of the word 'detailing' in a business name

    There was a lot of feedback. Didn't go so well since the seminar turned into a ploy to sell a computer based class.

    Generators

    Champion 3100 It's quiet, sips gas and does a pretty good job of running my equipment. Carpet extractor and steamer both work together on it 90% of the time. It can't handle when both heaters cycle on at the same time. Can't heat up my carpet extractor while running the master blaster. I've...
