    Beaten and Battered 2010 Nissan Altima Tons of pictures

    Really great job. You made that look outstanding. Those scratches are almost non-existent. I'm impressed. How do you like the nano skin products?

    How often do they return

    Depends. It really varies depending on the clients daily lives and how many kids they have....lol. I'd offer 20% OFF next detail service and put an expiration date 60 days out. Many times my clients have me book their other car after I'm done with their first one. To increase market share...

    washing cars at a dealership

    It may not be possible for him to go get "formal training". So what's he do until then? I'm sure many of us learned on our own vehicles. The question is can he obtain the skill necessary if he stays at his current job, while only practicing on his car? If he chooses to go that route,...how...

    What are your thoughts on yelp!?

    I'll save my opinion for later but I wanted to see what others thought about it. Are you on yelp!? Do you advertise with yelp!? Have you had reviews 'blocked'? Does your competition use yelp!?

    washing cars at a dealership

    I think you'd be surprised what you could learn detailing at a dealership. Granted it's not up to the standards here,...but I would guarantee you'd pick up some useful techniques. If you don't start at the dealership, how will you learn? And how long will that take before you grasp a basic...

    Thrashed Corvette brought back after life in a field....

    Great job man. It's frustrating to see nice cars being neglected. You saved it.

    Prices Up on Website or Not?

    Admittedly, I haven't read Renny's book, and I'm sure he'll forget more about detailing than I'll ever hope to know. However......put prices. It eliminates 'cheaps', (those looking for $20/details), and it gives your potential clients an idea of what details cost. I always put 'starting at'...

    Share your best business card design tip?

    I use thick cards I design on vista print. Leave the back blank to write appointment reminders and give to clients. I also write "20% OFF" on the back and leave that on center console when done. (Put an expiration date 45-60 days out). Right now they're matte black w/ red and silver metallic...

    Did I hit a jackpot?

    Not bad. I'd put 'starting at' in front of your prices. Folks can back you into a corner with just a flat price advertised. I like your disclaimer re: size of vehicle, etc. Here's what I put at bottom of my flyer/rack card: "Final price determined by actual size/condition of vehicle"...

    Did I hit a jackpot?

    Added expense of a vehicle/trailer? You have a vehicle now, right? Can you detail out of it, just to start out? (You don't need a trailer). I detailed out of a Mitsubishi Galant when I first started. Don't worry about higher end details. Just do a great job at a price that generates revenue...
