    Pricing a Detail

    If that's what you feel your time is worth one thing I've learned is you can for the most part charge whatever you want if you are confident in your work. Not saying that you should go ahead and charge $100 a foot lol but you sound like you've got it down and it sounds reasonable. If someone has...

    Do you tip your detailer?

    As a detailer I don't expect a tip not because my work isn't good but just for the fact that people don't feel they should after they've already paid a high price for a detail. I can count on one hand how many times I've been tipped which is great and makes you feel that your work was really...

    Painted metal trim?

    Hi I had a question about the trim on my father-in-laws Kia. He had asked me to detail it and I got my first look at it yesterday. I've seen his Kia a bunch of times but never took a closer look until last night. It's got swirls all over and some deep scratches but that's not my concern. He had...

    Let Me Ask You A Question...... Business/Detailing.... Ranting

    I don't think work ethic is with age I think it's all on how someone is raised or how self motivated someone is. I had my first job when I was 14. I was part time detailing boats where my dad worked at that age. If there weren't any boats to detail that day I was painting boat bottoms. I'm 26...

    Donate to the troops

    As a veteran I'd like to say you have a big heart to donate your time and I'm sure the guys that get the free detail full appreciate it. I offer discounts to military, and first responders because let's face it without those guys America would be chaos. Next month is military appreciation month...

    Brochures

    Hey guys I've been thinking about having some brochures made. I've been leaving business cards here and there but that doesn't explain anything about my service. I've been mostly leaving cards at businesses that are run by friends so I was thinking I could leave a couple of brochures with my...

    I personally dislike wasting things I've spent money on I'd have to finish the bottle I have before I try anything else may sound silly but it wouldn't sit right with me if a full bottle of compound was just sitting around lol.

    using megs 105

    I've had the same issue with it being a pain to come off. So I tried different things I've squirted the pad with pinnicale pad conditioner every panel and tried using less and brushing the pad at the end of every section. I've noticed that even doing that it seems like it dries fast and it...

    Tips or tricks on drying?

    I ended up going to lowes and picking up a battery powered leaf blower for $50 and I got a vac attachment for free because they didn't scan it lol. Win win for me! If and when I start getting greater volume I'll def. invest in one of the MB's. Thanks everyone!
