Will any small sample bottles be made available? I can't speak for longevity yet, but I like everything about this product (V1)other than the spray application part. Only because my shop is not a perfect environment. The slightest breeze will distribute the product where I don't want it and I...

Just missed this. My order is already shipped. All PBL products. I could of saved an extra $30-50. Oh well, next time...

I've been in the same boat as you. In fact I started the same exact way by getting business from a car flipper. I've done interiors by hand using shampoo/brushes and then a shop vac. I'll probably purchase a tornador first since that seems to be plenty versatile and it could help with my...

I have 3 kids under the age of 5. I'm lucky if I can keep up with the interior of our mini van. My cars are used to test products and longevity so they're not the cleanest. Time with family is more important than a clean car. Everything is different when it comes to working on others cars...

You need to use more lubrication. The clay shouldn't make any squeaks. Claying is a lot about feel. There's a certain amount of drag or catch that you may feel throughout the process. Just keep adding lubricant when this happens so the clay glides more freely across the surface. Marring...

I haven't used any Wolfgang products, but is the finishing glaze an actual glaze or just the name they went with? Only asking because I wouldn't think it would be compatible with the coating. Great results by the way.

I pay around $90 a month for insurance on my one employee. It covers workers comp and damage to vehicles. Now this is for an automotive shop and not strictly detailing. I learned to do my own payroll after I got tired of paying $80 a month for a company to do it. You want to grow and I think...

That right there is an entire discussion on its own that would lead to hurt feelings and probably get shut down due to speculation. Life would be much easier if all claims were true and didn't contain any fine print excuses. I would like to tell my customers with confidence about the...

If it meant absorbing a few extra dollars in exchange for working on exotics then I don't see the problem. In my situation, I would detail an exotic at cost right now just to put it on my resume. I also don't charge differently between the waxes and sealant that I use. Takes me roughly the...

In an effort to try and establish myself as "different" in my area my campaign has been around using long lasting products, and trying to push the fact that my protection will last longer than budget wash/wax places. Many people still only know of wax and don't have a clue about sealants or...

I only just started using the PBL diamond coating but I've asked some similar questions. I found that in temps of 90 degrees Fahrenheit it flashes extremely quick. I don't apply it in those high temps anymore because I end up using more product. Even at 70 degrees I found myself having to...

Nice eclectic selection of products. I like to see detailers mix it up. Great results.

I only asked because I want to be informed in case my customers ask. My personal weekly car care lost it's appeal once I traded in my fun car for a much needed/used mini van and a Prius. Ugh that was hard to type out...

How long will one application last for? Ballpark figure on a daily driver in California climate. I see the bottle can last 6 months. Is that with a weekly application?

I would watch them. I'm always interested in how businesses evolve and run. The shortcomings, advertising that doesn't work, which business plans to pursue according to ones needs. I actually like to hear more about people's mistakes just as much as successes. I'll grab some chips and a drink...

No that makes sense. I was buying stuff slowly and being smart about looking at used equipment, but then I missed out on a few jobs because I wasn't ready or didn't have the tools. I'm in buying mode now, but discipline myself that I need a plan to sell the service if I'm going to spend money...

I tried accessing AGO last night and was met with a note saying the site was being worked on. I honestly had a withdrawal as a twinge of anger went through me. Haha...I must of reloaded the page a half dozen times within 3 minutes. I've always enjoyed taking an object that's beat up and...

I found a few online too but I'm not familiar with their quality. These bottles will hold product so my customers can maintain whatever work I've done for them. I don't want to give them something where the pump stops working after one use. I just figured if AG carried it then it's been...

I spoke with Andre and got some facts. I may start a thread or search more for opinions dealing with high ambient temps... Got a couple things cleared up that were opinion based from other members. Thanks to those who took time to respond.

I've tried posting this and one other post two times so hopefully it works this time....Anyways I could of sworn I saw someone in a post mention some small sample sized spray bottles they used. I searched the online store and could only find squeeze bottles. There is a plastic manufacturer but...
