    Hydro2 streaking!

    The power washer is your issue. Use a hose, you need volume of water on the panel for hydro2 to bond, the pressure doesn't really help. It works fine for wheels but I have streaking when I use my PW and if I use a hose it's fine. Also make sure to rinse the car well prior to remove any soap...

    Need Some Advice on Equipment for Strartup

    Perfect. I'm glad you have a well thought out plan. I would write out a real budget. Get the cash together and make it work. I would buy the Honda EU2000i Generator (a second can be linked together to make 4000 watts, they're quiet and also inverters) you won't be upgrading the unit down the...

    Adding to the menu

    Why waste the time if you can achieve the same results in less steps with less effort? Use Iron-X or wheel brightener to clean the wheel once. Clay. Seal with hydro2. Dry. The average Joe might know about Meguiars...goodluck with Sonax, Optimum, Car Pro, Etc...it doesn't mean anything to the...

    Accounting/Client Info Software?

    This. Professional Business Software that works really well is hard to design, code and implement, therefore the price tag. I actually subscribed to quickbooks for a year (pre-paid) and it's something like $10-12 a month. It's well worth it when you're into 5 figure revenues. Plus I can access...

    Researching opticoat pro + and info is all over

    It's all about what you want. That's a pretty good price to have your paint, trim, glass and interior coated with opti-coat pro products, with a light correction. Considering ~$300 is direct product cost from Optimum. With that being said, if you are going to maintain and be apart of your...

    A little advise on Generators please

    Honda EU2000i. Super quiet, easy to carry and it's an inverter. If you need more power you can buy a second and connection them together for effectively a 4000 watt generator.

    Needing to get a larger shop?

    You haven't given us enough information to help you make this decision. As other have suggested run the numbers and figure out the opportunity cost. Are you only swamped now because of the excitement of spring detailing? Is this going to last? All these things matter. I might just stay there...

    any thought on new apc

    Looks very impressive because it's priced so competitively. If it works better/is easy to use than Megs APC without the chance of chalking up older black plastics like some APC's tend to do at higher dilution rations.

    DP Hi-Intensity APC Plus VS. 10 year old leather seats

    Looks like a really good product. What causes it not to leave a film behind? Would this be a comparable product to Ultima Interior Gel where after cleaning an interior coating can be used?

    I would post your website in the "How to make money detailing cars" sub-forum and ask for opinions. I wish I could tell you a simple answer but I think it's going to be changing around and tinkering with what you already have in place so it works for you and your market.

    White paint on walls in garage

    Definitely semi-gloss, and it makes a HUGE difference with the proper lighting.

    Question for the Pros: Protecting High End Brake Calipers

    I would find an Opti-Coat Pro installer in your area and just have them Opti-Coat'ed while they're off the vehicle. They shouldn't charge you much and it's permanent.

    Check out my website please!

    I would not suggest doing this and follow web design principles. The point of your website is to sell your services, I tried to use your website and didn't/couldn't figure it out and now another detailing business has my business. Make it easy to use and navigate.

    Check out my website please!

    I just sat waiting for something to happen then left your site. (Like most of your customers) Why isn't there any content on your homepage? Start here: Basic Web Design Principles

    Aluminum Dump Trailer Polishing Help

    The expectations are to make this trailer look better, any amount of increased shine and removal of water spots is key. It's very dull and chalky looking, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture. Is rotary with wool the right tool and pad choice? Do I need a specific metal compound/polish...

    Boxes and tape the lids. Or buy plastic storage containers if you are worried about things leaking.
