If it's a maintenance wash and you already have tire dressing on the tire (it's not completely bare and really dirty, the dressing doesn't have to be fresh and glossy) take a microfiber towel filled with your rinesless product of a choice and ring it out. Then use the damp towel to clean the...

I have no idea. It's soft and very compressible without ripping/damaging the foam. One bucket. Dirt is encapsulated by the polymers in ONR and they also cover the surface to provide lubrication. You don't need two buckets because once released the dirt and dirty ONR that is captured inside the...

From my experience it's eye catching to potential customers but does nothing to help speed up the detail, in fact, it takes longer to foam everything down, and like you mentioned uses more product than needed. Or really wastes more product than needed, because the majority of the foam is on the...

I honestly would let this customer walk.

Unrealistic expectations. Seriously, if someone showed up at my house to wash anything for $25 you can't complain about the quality, let alone 3 days later, after x, y and z. Don't worry about OP. Just explain your thought process like you did in this thread to the customer and if they don't...

I've had business year round in Maryland. While winter is slower than spring/summer/early fall, people still get interiors dirty, and they want the salt off. Plus, new coating installs on new cars bought around the holidays.

Never would of thought that was possible. Great job. Restoring red really grabs your attention.

Here's what I made first starting out: http://www.incrediblydetailed.com/extend-life-detail/ Feel free to use it as a rough draft.

I ask every customer if they are interested in learning a DIFFERENT way to wash their vehicle. I teach them how to do a rinse-less wash on their vehicle. You would be surprised how many women take to the idea because of how much sense it makes! Clean a less dirty car, more frequently with...

You're about to learn a lesson. Pricing details at the start is extremely difficult simply because you don't have enough experience. I still struggle on occasion almost 3 years in. Ask questions and really look the vehicle over before giving a price. It also helps to quote a range just in case...

It's the cost of doing business, and high quality business. It's your portfolio and education center for your customer.

My understanding is that you can't layer it. But you can apply it twice to ensure complete and even coverage.

I could do it, if you're willing to drive. I'm a solid hour from Fairfax, but it's a good drive. I'm guessing you're interested in a correction and coating? Maybe Opti-Coat Pro? http://www.incrediblydetailed.com/opti-coat-pro/

I would use the pay feature or another type of drag and drop pay website builder. It's an investment in getting new customers. I would want the "best" site in front of them I could get. It's an extension of your business, if your website isn't professional then maybe your detailing business...

Great work. I love it!

Well...end of thread. :dblthumb2:

Start here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-make-money-detailing-cars/71609-so-you-want-found-locally-internet.html My background is Information Systems and Computer Science. SEO is like detailing, you get what you pay for. Same thing goes for your website, if it's not up to par then...

I think a shoulder strap would be more cumbersome. You're only trying the car a few minutes, if you can carry groceries into the house you can use this without issues to dry your car. :xyxthumbs: Still figuring it out. Haven't had anything ground breaking yet.

I don't have an extractor. They all seems to be temperamental and are expensive/time consuming to fix.

Place looks great. Lots of room outside to work as well.
