    Fireworks set off on cars

    Our area has seen a few incidents with kids placing fireworks directly on top off on top of vehicles and setting them off. I'd like to offer to help mitigate the damage as best I can. I know the diffinitive answer is a body shop, but know most people can't afford/don't want to pay for that...

    When you are not detailing....

    This is an interesting question for me. Generally the question I'm asked is "what do you do outside of work?" and my answer is detailing. I'm a career fireman so my schedule offers me a lot of time to run my detailing business. If I'm not doing either of those, I've got a wife and 2 kids (and...

    Detail motorcycle

    I charge $30 an hour for bike detailing. I go over the bike with the customer and get an idea of what level they are expecting and give them and estimated time to complete it, generally 3-5 hours. I also prefer to do this type of work at home instead of mobile. I enjoy bikes, and they are easy...

    Taking the plunge and starting an auto detailing business in Metro Detroit.

    Sorry for the delayed reply, been busy around here. I don't have advice on all parts of your post but I'll give you what I can. What I've found from production detailing is that people don't want a spray wax. I initially offered this as a cheaper option but customers would be disappointed and...

    How to clean your foam cannon

    I bought my Cannon a few months ago. Mine is slightly different than the one in the pictures. After removing the black handle there appears to be two nuts in close proximity to each other, however, they function as one unit. Use a wrench on the one closer the main housing, and on the one...

    Detailers in South East Michigan?

    Hey guys. First off, I'm located in St Clair County, MI. I'm interested in building a relationship with any detailers in my area to help trade work with. I receive calls from people outside of my general service area and would like to have someone to refer them to. Also, I'm very interested...

    Progress

    Thanks! When I put my packages together I anticipated clients would be more interested in exterior services and my packages reflect that. I also thought that having more options would allow people to tailor their own service. Most people calling simply asks for a "full detail" and a lot are...

    Hey guys! Happy to say that I've been receiving more work than anticipated! So much so that km having to schedule services a week or two out! The thing I still need to work on is: reorganizing my packages to better suit the average customer. Right now, my calls are about 50% referral and...

    Haven't posted in a while here. Been pretty busy between the real job and finding out we have another baby on the way, but here goes! I've made a few more modifications to the trailer and built a hinged shelf to cover the pump/battery. This shelf also serves as storage for all my products...

    Taillight Help

    Don't want to hijack, but I use a rotary set on the slowest speed with a wool or foam pad to correct lights, is this practice risky? My flex won't run a small enough pad for me to do certain lights.

    Another starting out thread

    Never heard of or used 3D products, so can't give you an insight there. All the other products you listed in work well and are spoken of highly here. I wouldn't worry about not having a pressure washer. You can get use a foamer with a garden hose if you feel it'll help you appear more like...

    New site evaluation....

    One more quick thing, make sure you check the link on all images and anything on the site. Wix automatically sets them up the link to their page when clicked. Either remove the link or redirect it to the appropriate portion of your page.

    New site evaluation....

    Hey Mike. I'm using wix to host my site as well so I now how tricky it is to get the mobile site adjusted correctly. Mine still isn't! I'm a professional fireman, so I did snicker a little when I read the part about tradition and washing/waxing trucks. The tradition is there, but in my...
