Question directed towards Mike, but others are welcome to chime in. Was there a defining moment? Something happened and you just knew your vocation was a professional detailer? There is a book called "Mastery" written by Robert Greene and its about how "masters" became masters. Albert...

Ahhh Ft. Wayne, I'm not too far from you. I'm from Lima, OH - about 45-minutes away down highway 30.

I live with my grandparents 5 minutes away but I grew up at this house. The rest of my family still lived there and I would stay there pretty much every single weekend. I was at work and got a text with a picture of my mom's house entirely engulfed in flames. I'll post up pictures tomorrow...

Some replies from detailers on that Facebook group where the question was original posted:

So, the car show season is just around the corner for us northerners, it may been going on all year round for some, but it's about kick off up here in Ohio in April. My question is, how do you get your name out there at these events without sounding desperate, annoying or on the other hand...

If I did a pickup, I wouldn't be using a trailer. I'd be using the bed. Would look for an S-10/Colorado or a Ranger/F-150 with an EXTENDED BED. Perhaps a Toyota/Dodge/Nissan but I'd rather Chevy/Ford. It would HAVE to be white because my logo is 'blue-on-white' color scheme. However I feel...

Been thinking about doing this, but with motorcycles. Buy them in November/December when they're cheap...then re-sell in spring time when their prices are back up.

https://www.facebook.com/NikosAutomotiveDetailing Looks like that's what I'm going to be going with.

Those are accounts Bamboo. Pages are able to be merged. www.facebook.com/pages/merge It even says: I selected my 'new' page in the first menu and my 'old' page with all the likes in the second menu. ...and it wants to merge everything to my old page. Lol damn. I'm trying to contact some...

I just went to attempt to merge them. FB only lets me keep the one with more likes which is the 'Niko's Automotive Detailing". Damn lol

I was just wanting the 'Likes' because it gives my FB page relevance, you know? Don't want to lose all of that. But merging? Elaborate? I'm all for starting the "Molina Auto Detailing" Facebook with WITH the url was www.Facebook.com/MolinaAutoDetailing and then merging it with the current one...

Unless Facebook will allow an exception or there is a way to "bypass" the limit of username(URL) changes, then it's going to have to be Niko's Automotive Detailing because I can not change the username to www.facebook.com/MolinaAutoDetailing or www.facebook.com/Impeccable Detail. It's stuck at...

####. I may be stuck with "Niko's Auto Detailing" I can't change my Facebook url. It's www.facebook.com/NikosAutoDetailing and that's what it's going to stay at. It won't allow me to change it to www.Facebook.com/MolinaAutoDetailing or anything. I might be forced to use 'Niko's Auto...

I've been struggling with coming up with a name for my future detailing business. It will be both mobile and fixed. It was originally "Niko's Automotive Detailing". I read Mike's post about having your name in the title of your business is a good thing. So, I figured that would work. However...

Predicament between the ending of 'detail': Midwest Auto Detail by Niko Molina or Midwest Auto Detailing by Niko Molina Trying to combine having a "sellable name" with having my real name in it at the same time. The "By Niko Molina" will be in much smaller text, under the company name and...

I've went through and liked all of yours. Heres mine: https://www.facebook.com/NikosAutomotiveDetailing

Do you guys wear T-shirts or polos? Why?

Any of you guys have pictures and/or write ups/logs of pickup-based detailing rigs? Looking for ideas & inspiration.

Aha, so we have a vote for the pickup. I'm personally leaning towards the pick up as well but I'm completely open-minded to the idea of the cargo van and perhaps other suggestions.

I have a question that is relevant to the thread: I was originally going to start out part-time as a mobile detailer and I selected a name: "Niko's Mobile Detailing" However, I thought about it and I decided I'll have a BOTH a mobile detailing unit AND a garage/home-based fixed location. So...
