    just got my wheel woolies...now disappointed ....

    Wheel Woolies 3-Piece Kit, wheel cleaning tools, wheel brushes "That’s because Wheel Woolies are soft wool heads mounted on long handles." The other website must have sold you a different brand, CG WW's are wool that much I know and the WW on AG seem to be as well but I'm sure some use synthetics.

    2 bucket...1 bucket too many

    Someone before said it was like the garry dean wash method but that video I linked to was the garry dean wash method modified in the same way yours is, not the rinseless method he is popular for. It's worth watching as it lowers the amount of towels used allowing this to actually be practical...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evFTeRxtEEo Garry already had this idea (the video is exactly what you describe but does not take 13 MFs).

    Does anyone pressure wash a car before using a rinseless wash method?

    As the expert you have to sell itusing that expertise. If they have issues with a rinseless wash how do they feel about you applying a DA, rotory or sand paper to the car during a detail/paint correction?

    What do You Define as Production Detailing?

    I never claimed you said it was sloppy only that such seemed to align with your view based on your ability to label the work as done by such a facility, I am saying it is sloppy (hard to disagree that not cleaning a dash during a detail is sloppy when it was promised isn't it?). Henry Ford...

    What do You Define as Production Detailing?

    FUNX725 you said that a job where the dash wasn't even properly cleaned sounded like work produced by a production detailer. Sloppy would define a job like that hence the inference. I also said "seem to" rather than stating my interpretation as fact, for good reason. You are welcome to make...

    What do You Define as Production Detailing?

    After reading quite a few posts using the words "production detailing" it has become evident that some define the term differently than others. Mike Phillips talks about doing high quality production detailing...

    business flyer/coupon/advertisement sample request

    Find a local car club and arrange a demonstration for them. It's more likely to land you some decent jobs and less likely to pollute the parking lot with flyers everyone tosses.

    Webite Critique

    You want as much contrast as possible between background and text for readability, grey text on darker grey background does not do this. It just looks dark and unpolished because of the lack of contrast. Pick 3 complimentary colors and stick with them. If I were you I would take the 3 main...

    Ads on AGO ???

    Tapatalk has ads, it's part of their app. Really has nothing to do with AGO anymore than it does other forums also providing access via tapatalk.

    Costly detailing

    I'm willing to bet they are full of it. Remember the discount is usually 50-70% and groupon takes about 50% of the profit. It makes no sense to use groupon as anyone but a hotel trying to fill empty rooms or similar service. For me to compound and polish with all of the other package...

    Mobile Detailing Business - questions

    It all depends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evFTeRxtEEo makes a pretty good case for water conservation. I think people often overthink professionalism and lose the human social element to business. I've never had someone say "wow that guy did a great job on my car but he used my water so...

    How to wash a Semi Truck with a Foam Gun

    Mike did every square inch include the roof? Hard to imagine how that would be done unless someone doesn't mind heights and has a scissor lift.

    Costly detailing

    I think we are using 2 different definitions of production detailing to be honest. When I say production detailing what I mean is services preformed on a DD. a package along the lines of Wash, clay, AIO, tire dressing, windows, vac and dash/console clean and protectant added. Maybe upsell to...

    Costly detailing

    Most of my business is production detailing, it is where most start to build a client base because the target market is alot bigger. That being said there is a difference between someone doing premium production detail work and some guy cleaning cars and calling it detailing. As much as I...

    Tip Jars

    I know this is off track and after this comment I will try to refocus as you have mentioned but I just wanted to add that people often misunderstand "the customer is always right" what the term means is that the customer drives demand, if the demand is for Tacky honey boo boo attire then it is...
