    Share your best business card design tip?

    One thing that also needs to be taken into consideration is to be consistent with signage and print media. So what's on your vehicle and cards should be them same style and look to maintain branding and keep things looking more professional. One thing that people forget is that as a service...

    Still filthy after power wash/foam cannon

    To remove very fine particles you need a light mechanical touch to remove them. This can be as gentle as a plush microfiber wiping the surface. A product like Optimum Power Clean does a great job of loosening dirt and allowing most of it to be rinsed off. Yet it's always going to me most...

    Distance from paint with pressure washer?

    The paint isn't really the major concern unless it's damaged. The major concern is the badges, emblems , and decals. Just be smart and use caution.

    2004 Acura TSX

    The paint looks pretty good after. However, the interior looked like it need some extra attention. What did you use on the steering wheel to clean it?

    Pressure washers and soap

    You don't want to use a high foaming soap in a siphon tank that runs through the PW pump. This could probably damage the pump similarly to having air in pump, IMO.

    White vinyl convertible cleaning

    Some 303 cleaner and a little bleach and scrub. Should make it 100 times better. I did one on a similar, if not the same, year Mustang, and the neighbors of the owner thought they had a new top put on.

    Owning coin OP washes & a profesional detailing business?

    I have actually been thinking about doing this with a local coin-op that is for sale. The cost for to do what I would want, including the property and car wash, would probably be $800k-$1million. The potential revenue would be anywhere from $150K-$400K with the services I have in mind to offer...

    Don't let this happen to you...

    Thanks for sharing. And sorry about your misfortune. I think I would talk to an attorney to get the rest of the stuff out of the trailer. That doesn't seem legit since that stuff was yours not part of the trailer you were paying for. Pretty sure any mention of an attorney and the police will...

    Branch detail business into house cleaning

    When you can charge $25-40 on average to clean a refrigerator or other major appliances, that can bring in as much or more than the average interior or exterior only express detail. Plus there are a lot fewer pieces of equipment and products needed for the average house cleaning job. Most...

    Branch detail business into house cleaning

    I was actually offered a job cleaning/detailing houses for a local property management company after they saw how OCD I am detailing vehicles. At the time it was summer and I didn't want to commit to it and possibly lose job during the peak detailing season here. But, it can be a way to market...

    Headlamp Flashlight?

    Is that the 130 lumens one? That should be more than enough light for the close quarters work with detailing interiors/exteriors. Do you ever find yourself wanting more light output with it?

    Car Shows

    Every time I go to car show I need therapy afterwards. I drives me crazy that people think their cars are show cars yet are covered in swirls and scratches, and repaints that have more orange than the produce section. I can't really enjoy them much anymore. Saw a little kid use the hood of a...

    any posture tips to prevent a sore back?

    That is a great point that is probably not realized, or forgotten. Another reason to invest in a RUPES and have multiple tools in your arsenal for different jobs and requirements.

    My New HHR Panel as my Mobile Detailing Vehicle

    Pressure washers direct is where I've found them. They have a great search tool and most of their products have a description/specs that tell you the dimensions as well as pressure, flow rate, and if they are adjustable for pressure, among other features. You can sort by brand and find all the...
