    Garage lighting

    You might want to do a little more research. There are new regulations, but that doesnt mean Fluorescent is being phased out. The T8 700 series is what does not meet the new regulations. The 800 and 900 series are fine. Fluorescents are not being phased out. That would be like saying they are...

    Garage lighting

    A few questions. I finally got one side of my garage cleaned out from moving into our new house. The total garage is around 20x22, with 2 single doors. Right now it has 1 light socket with exposed an exposed bulb right next to each of the two door opener units, and while this is enough to be...

    Can you review our prices?

    Not exactly. You need to know your net profit on each job from a cost of goods standpoint, and then know your expenses, and forecast how many jobs you need to complete to cover your expenses. If you put it all together you run the risk of not covering your expenses or making the money you need...

    Can you review our prices?

    I would not look at 3 months but rather an entire year. Also I would break it down in Cost OF Goods and Expenses. Cost of goods is the items that are directly related to the jobs you do, mainly your supplies. This will obviously change with the number of jobs you do as you will have to order...

    Unigrit 3" Sanding Discs

    What happened to these? It appears the 6" are still available, but not the 3". Is this a temporary issue or permanent? Also I do my sanding of head lights by hand. How many uses do you guys get out of the sanding and finishing discs?

    6+ months later...Website finally "done"!! Thoughts?

    Like others have mentioned, the load time is a bit slow. Overall it looks great. The only other feedback I have, and not sure it has been mentioned, is the picture of your rig when the site firsts loads. There is no right or wrong way of taking a picture necessarily, and framing it out, but in...

    Letting 114 air dry

    I have mine mixed 1:16 for panel wipe and it has streaked on 2 cars and not streaked on about 6-7. Not sure what was up, it was in the exact same conditions.

    What are these?

    I sprayed them with a hose and it knocked quite a few off. It rained a short period later, and this morning they have appeared to have moved on.

    What are these?

    Walked outside and saw thousands of these all over my car. The entire car looked just like this small area in the picture. They appear to fly.

    APC's vs tire cleaners

    I guess I have been doing this all wrong, but in have used Meg's D108 Super Degreaser 4:1 to clean all my tires. It appears to be working great, but not sure any issues that may arise using it over time.

    Best wax for White car

    From my experience, 2 thin layers of a good sealant really makes it pop. With white you are not going to get much depth compared to darker colors, but the paint sealant will make it so bright you need to wear sunglasses around it. I will through a coat of 845 or Americana for therapy reasons...

    Dealing with Last-minute Cancellations

    There are options for you, but whether they are right for your business or not is up to you. If you are always booked out a week or more, I would make it mandatory that you receive a deposit for the future service. If the appointment goes through, that deposit will go towards the service, if...

    Credit card fees.... who's charging them?

    It is not regulated by the state in that the state makes the rules. The policies are actually different for each merchant, ie Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX. Now there are states that these rules do not apply because of already set in place laws that void these rules, similar to when you here...

    Interior Detail. Steam and Extractor.

    Thank you. I did not know that. What is it about the Hot water extraction that is better than the normal carpet cleaners for purpose of safety. I would assume i much more powerful vacuum, as I wouldn't think using extremely hot water as opposed to the warm/hot water a carpet cleaner uses? I am...

    Interior Detail. Steam and Extractor.

    A steamer is much more versitle than an extractor is, while an extractor is much better at the one thing it does. I am not a big fan of extractors as there is no way you will get all the water up. When I was shopping for carpet for my house, every carpet manufacture I spoke to said you used...
