I will say don't let the rebuilt title scare you especially if he has before and after pics.No flood vehicles though.Insurance companies total perfectly repairable vehicles.These vehicles are then shipped to other countries with cheaper labor and repaired. I would not overlook a gutted minivan...

If you sand 600/800 on up the darker the hull more steps.oxalic acid might help.Some folks even use muratic acid with good results. Do be careful with chemicals and read directions.Bar keepers freind is very cheap and will save time and money. I could go on and on about what to do and use but...

I agree with smaller is better. How much junk do you have to drag around. All chemicals, waxes, polishes should fit into a small tool bag. I had a ford E350 with a 7.3 diesel and it could haul whatever was put into it. I had everything in there but always found myself using 20% of its contents...

I know several owners who elected to base/clearcoat their boats. It was cheaper then polishing and then keeping up on the gel coat.They look fantastic and alot less maintance.If that is correct then there should be no oxidizing. From your description of condition I would say no on wool pad. The...

From the pictures the gel coats seem to be in decent shape.I know you said you would like to get away without sanding but.... Alot of people simply polish a boat out only to be back where they started from in a few months. The scotchbrite sanding pads might be a better choice for you. This will...

Great job!! I use a product called crab shell on boats. It's mold and midew inhibitor seems to work good for jambs etc.. I wonder if it would do anything for interiors to stop mold from coming back for a while.

The BE electric is the best out of the 3. I have almost the same model mine is an mitm though

For a moment I was like wow!! A gx honda motor with a AR pump for under $500. Withfurther investigation photo is not actual unit. Its a Looks like a Honda Gcv motor with a garbave pump both are consider throw away. Worst case you'll get 6-12 months out of pump then you can buy a decent pump to...

A small 4 cyl automatic truck with a 6 ft bed.There are some really nice ARE DCU toppers out there perfect for detailing.Trailers are pain in the butt in tight corridors.Guess it really depends on how much weight you are toting too.These larger vans will eat a hole in your pocket. A Toyota...

If you go through post office site it has a nice route breakdown.I would have 5000 printed up and saturate your targets.To keep cost down you have to have a good print guy. My guy gets my business cards, rack cards, door hangers, wraps, signs etc..Once they have your artwork layout it's alot...

I would imagine your boat had graphics painted /air brushed then entire hull clear coated??? If so, then the portacable is sufficient to get job done. A car or boat All in one should get you the results you're looking for. Can't go wrong with a coat of Rejex. I like the LC orange pads for...

The DA brushes are ok. I prefer this brush on a varible speed rotary.The extra weight of the Milwaukee really helps out too.I would suggest a lightly used hot water extractor off craigslist.

Yes!!! I park my work vehicle on a busy road everyday. I always poll new customers on how they heard of my services. Quite a few say they seen my truck and wrote down number etc..Its a 24/7 billboard that lets people know who you are and what you do.I always look at business vehicles wraps...

You can also forgo an extractor and buy a rotary. A rotary and a wheel brush will make light work of floor mats especially sand. It will be a stretch to find a new quality unit for under $750.

Would it be possible to get a larger job site box? I own two mytee extractors and are well built units. All parts have numbers and are plug and play. The units are very simple to troubleshoot.Im a fan of myvaporclean product.I have a vapor clean Gaia only $900. Its very compact and has steam...

Seems like everyone here in my area owns a boat. I had a decent response with EDDM in waterfront neighborhood's. I also picked up a decent account by stopping by several boat consignment shops.Also we have some high end storage yards that I've detailed a couple boats out of. Im not sure how...

I would guesstimate 70/30 on those who book and don't. Oddly enough I get 70% of work from word of mouth and 30% from advertising. I do pick my battles and always pass on turds. So I would imagine rv owners talk and tell each other what they were charged and my rates are comparable to others...

I would recommend an hourly rate. With rvs and boat there are alot of unknowns. A thorough explanation to customer of work involved to achieve their goal.The per foot rule can get you into trouble.I would give a guesstimate of 8-12 hours @ an hourly rate you are happy with. When you've done...

When I have an extremely oxidized hull I will prep with TSP. I mist whole hull then wash. It really cuts down on amount of dead gel coat that has to be removed.As far as extending working time of product I use a spray bottle of water. Wetsanding entre hull will save time and permanently remove...

I do like how simple your set up is.I permanently mounted my washer so I don't have to pull out every job. I like everything compact.
