    #1 Tip if You Could Start All Over?

    I've been a regular at the same gym for the past 6 years and know most of the regulars there and the staff. The people that are 'regulars' at a gym tells a lot about their work ethic as a person. They're normally a lot more organized and driven than people that don't go to the gym. So that...

    Mobile Detailing: Small Pickup vs Cargo Van

    Once I decide to pull the trigger to purchase a vehicle for mobile detailing Spring 2016, I'm going to have to make a good purchase based upon my needs. I will at times, daily-drive it to my 9-5 job. I commute 80-miles a day to/from work so MPG would be important in my choice. My vehicle will...

    Owning coin OP washes & a profesional detailing business?

    Why did you not purchase it? So from the replies thus far, it seems like it would be a good idea to own both. Would you have both next to each other? Or would you have them at different locations?

    FLEX vs Rupes

    Which do you prefer and why? Take $$ for each to operate & maintain out of the equation. I feel like this debate/question may have been asked before but I didn't see any threads. If there has been a thread on this subject, I'd appreciate it if you could link it to me.

    3 Day Classes

    I've noticed there is no sub-forum for them, so I suppose I'll post here. What constituted the extra day to be added to the original 2-day class set up? Was 2 days just not enough time to get all of the information Mike wanted in? Had to cram it? Also, when are the classes for July going to be...

    Owning coin OP washes & a profesional detailing business?

    That would be quite the setup!! Have the coin-op/wash bays out front and either behind or to the side of the coin-op/wash bays, the building that contains the professional level detailing.

    How do/would you charge employees?

    Owning coin OP washes & a profesional detailing business?

    Anyone done this? Or know anyone that's done this? I mean, they hit two markets... 1) The cheaper coin-op car bays for clients' DD's that don't really care about paying for a pricier detail and just want a quick wash. Typically just want a quick little shine...I mean after all, they wouldn't...

    Whats the difference between Mike's two books?

    'Guide to A Showroom Shine' vs 'The Art of Detailing' Bought both (Art of Detailing signed by Mike), the DVD and Renny Doyle's book. Read 'Guide To A Showroom Shine' first, then read Renny's book (which is GREAT by the way), then picked up 'Art of Detailing' and begin reading and its almost a...
