    RV Pricing? and Fibreglass polishing?

    Great info mate, thanks! I currently don't own a rotary polisher, just my DA, but I was going to invest in one regardless. I'll let him know he's looking at around $20 a foot, grab some gear and go have a look! Cheers guys

    RV Pricing? and Fibreglass polishing?

    I'm going to schedule an inspection with the guy, maybe bring my DA and some product to give him an example of what it will turn out like. It looks to be around 25-30'. Will get back to everyone with how badly oxidised it is when iIsee it

    RV Pricing? and Fibreglass polishing?

    Hey AG family, I know this has been asked a few times but the search engine won't let me search for RV and I don't have time to be hunting through the forums for an answer. I have a client who's approached me for a Complete Exterior Detail on his RV. He's not sure on measurements, but it seems...

    tips on getting new customers

    How I started was by doing super cheap details for friends and family to showcase my skills. $50 for a full detail etc. Then I took photos for my facebook page (very important, shows people what you can do/have done), and got them to leave a review. This gives people a sense of confidence in...

    Chemical Guys InstaWax for quick details?

    Pretty much my feelings atm. I don't mind it for when I've only got a half hour to do my own car, but I don't think it's something I could effectively use for clients

    Chemical Guys InstaWax for quick details?

    I usually just use a Megs Cleaner Wax for all my low end details, but got some Instawax for a quick "top-up" wax fr my personal cars, thought it might be a good idea to use it with clients. But what you guys say is true, not as speedy as it sounds!

    Chemical Guys InstaWax for quick details?

    Hey guys, Was just wondering if anyone has used Chemical Guys InstaWax spray wax? And if so, would you recommend it for your lower level details as a quick way to wax a car? Cheers! -James

    Landed a good lead, what to do with it?

    Well it's been great for me so far, and I haven't even done his car! He likes my passion for what I do. Shared my page of facebook and got me 15 likes in 10 minutes! Excited to see where it goes

    Landed a good lead, what to do with it?

    Hey guys! So I just landed a detail client that runs the "underground" car meets in my home town. No Need for Speed type stuff, just semi-organised car meets, usually held in large car parks. Anyway, so I'm curious as to whether anyone has any ideas on how to fully reap the benefits of this...

    Detailing as a side job?

    This. Don't make your prices so low that people expect them to stay that low. Maybe start with an introductory special of some sort. Otherwise you will forever be getting paid less than you deserve.

    questions about detailing

    ONR wash, clay, followed by a cleaner wax, usually takes me around 3 hours, give or take depending on the size of the vehicle, condition etc. Add an hour or two if the interior is involved. Check your local council to make sure you're allowed to do such business first :) EDIT: Also, charge...

    questions about detailing

    When I first started (about 3 months ago) I just made sure to under-promise, and over-deliver. That way client's expectations are exceeded and they'll tell their friends :)
