    Prices: to list or not to list?

    He isn't saying he's booked that far BECAUSE he has prices on his website. He's saying that he is booked out 3-4 weeks DESPITE having prices on his website. The original assertion in the thread was that having prices on your site scares away customers and doesn't let you "Sell" your product to...

    How much coverage, opti-coat?

    10 cc will do a typical midsized vehicle including wheels in my experience.

    Article on Improving Client Base

    Very true on the pricing aspect. I started out 2 years ago during my last semester of high school. My business strategy was to be the cheapest guy around to get my name out there. I had a fair amount of calls, but no one I wanted to do business with. Why? Because the people who were attracted to...

    Detailer near Altoona, PA who does OptiCoat?

    I have a friend in this area looking for a great detailer who installs OptiCoat. Anyone here fit the bill? I feel much more comfortable recommending a fellow AG'er than some guy I pulled off Google!

    Scratching Microfiber

    Replace. I'd never feel comfortable using them on the paint again. You may THINK you have all of it out, but you won't know for sure until you leave a nasty mark...

    Map of outstanding detailers?

    I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, or if this may already exist, but I had an idea. I post all of my client's cars on Facebook, both on my own business page as well as in several car club groups I associate with. Some of these groups are nationwide, and frequently I'll...

    Polishing and OptiCoat, splitting into two days?

    Normally when I do this kind of work, I much prefer to start very early and end very late in order to get it all done in one day. But I just got a new customer who's schedule won't allow me to do this on his car. So I'm asking yall, if you had to split this up into two days of work, whats the...

    When customers just don't listen

    I recently did a full correction on a good buddy's black car. As is normal procedure with all of my customers, I instructed him on how to maintain his car in order to not have his car wind up in the same position. And since he was a friend, I even sent him links to the exact towels and other...

    A little disgusted with my Mytee 8070

    If the manual that came with your vacuum says two years, then they legally HAVE to abide by that warranty, under the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act. A manufacturer can't arbitrarily shorten your warranty after the purchase has been made.

    2 Basic Maintenance Wash Questions

    I have personally ditched the 2BM almost entirely, and gone over to rinseless washes for almost everything. Even if I have to use a pressure washer to knock off heavy dirt/mud, I still go back to a rinseless for the actual wash. Reason being is that when using the Garry Dean method, I've...

    Seriously Swirled Genesis Coupe

    My most recent project was working on a full correction on a friend's Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I drive one of these as well, so it was a fun treat getting to bring one back from the depths of improper care! I arrived at 7 am to meet up with the owner and check out the car. After a quick wash, I...

    Offering a car care kit to customers?

    Hey all, I've been getting busier and busier and at this time I'm no longer really relying on maintenance washes to keep me busy. This is great, because it's definitely not as satisfying as paint correction, coatings, and all the other fun(and better paying) stuff that I'm finally getting a...

    First experience with Opti coat

    From what I've seen, 2 cars per tube is pretty average. Some get three, and I've even seen some guys bragging about only using 3ccs or so on a car. I'd be skeptical of good coverage at that point. The stuff isn't cheap, but it isn't expensive enough to justify cutting corners like that. I'd say...

    To those with a physical location/storefront...

    This detailing business has reached a point where I think its time to get a physical location for my business. Definitely looking for somewhere that has enough inside space for a car, an overhead door to pull it in, etc etc. Can anyone else here comment on how much theyre paying for their shop...
