    What Do you Think Of my prices?

    ^^Straight from your website... I can't make this up. But back to your original question: For a 'geek detailer I think your prices are too low. My average full interior is $200 and AIO is 200-250... But I focus a lot more on coatings nowadays so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

    What Do you Think Of my prices?

    First thing I would do is get rid of any pictures with Armor All tire shine in them.

    2013 F-150 Correction & Opti-Coat Pro+

    My shop is too small for how busy I am. It's not unusual that we have vehicles outside being worked on. I have 3 full time employees and I'm booked out a week. This year I've averaged a coating a week and the last 2 weeks I've done 2 coatings a week. It hardly even slowed down this winter with...

    2013 F-150 Correction & Opti-Coat Pro+

    Most of it was shot with a Cannon T5i and a few GoPro shots. I'd have to ask my friend about the lenses he used.

    2013 F-150 Correction & Opti-Coat Pro+

    My personal opinion Hyper Compound has a hard time removing 1500 grit sanding scratches and leaves a really nasty haze. I love Hyper Polish but will definitely be using M100 on vehicles without black plastic trim. The lack of need to tape is the main reason why I use the hyper line.

    2013 F-150 Correction & Opti-Coat Pro+

    This pickup came in with heavy brush scratches, the worst we've seen. After several test spots we ended up wet sanding and correcting with the Optimum Hyper line. We coated with Opti-Coat Pro+

    Product Review: Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating v2

    I do have to say PBL is one of the easiest coatings I've ever applied. I did at least 5 vehicles with it last year. My one complaint is longevity. Not one vehicle was beading or sheeting on the bottom half of the vehicle after 3 months. I'm now warrantying every application with Gloss-Coat.

    Coating options, costs

    I explain the differences between the different price points. Gloss Coat doesn't include wheels, glass, and trim, a warranty, doesn't last more than 2-3 years, and isn't nearly as resistant to chemical etching. The Optimum coatings are strategically priced with characteristics and benefits in...

    Coating options, costs

    I only offer GlossCoat, Opti Coat Pro, and Opti Coat Pro+ First I talk about the benefits and warranty of Pro+ and ask if $1200 sounds like a fair deal. Then I deal with objections and if they will not commit to $1200 I work to find their sweet spot $800 or $400

    Rinseless and Black Vehicles

    I've been told that with ONR the polymers encapsulate all the dirt and you don't really have to have any care with washing even on perfect black paint. They say you only need one bucket and doing more than one panel at a time is no big deal. And that as long as the ONR is on the surface you...

    All in one interior cleaner?

    Optimum Leather Protectant is a good light duty cleaner and protectant.

    Need ideas for a touchless wash

    With a coating you should be able to foam with apc, dwell, and rinse with the pressure washer.

    Scheduled a Modesta Install

    I'd really like to get my hands on a sample of Modesta, CQFinest, and Ceramic Pro 9H to compare to Opti-Coat Pro+ Seems to me that those are the top coatings on the market today. If Modesta is anything like OCP+ all that is required is bi-weekly wash and a yearly decon wash, no toppers required.

    Reccomend a durable Pop Up tent

    I was actually just looking into this earlier today for my vendor booth at car shows. 10x20 Pop Up Canopy 10x20 Pop Up Professional Canopy Looks like the more expensive one weighs 50lbs more and uses 600 denier polyester instead of 500. For almost double the price and the fact I'll only be...

    Wheel-well brush/tool help?

    I find the Speedmaster wheel brush to work great, not sure why you had a problem with it, you can flex the end to whatever shape you want. If you're having issues that bad maybe you need to jack up the car.
