    Ideas for showing work at car show.

    Hi everyone. Looking to get some input and tried searching but no luck on what I'm needing. I will be attending a car show that is known to attract a lot of custom/modified cars.

    Input on dealing with cancellations

    I am a weekend warrior and along with that, all work is done by appointment. My problem is dealing with the cancellations. I have people dropping out on me last minute and then have no one to squeeze in and I end up with a wasted day and no money. Most of the cancellations don't ever come back...

    Clay service with no polishing after?

    I've gone through different websites for detailers (some of who belong to AG forum members) and I noticed that a lot of them seem to offer claying the car as part of the detail but no polishing afterwards.....only protection (wax/sealant). Me personally, don't see how that would work considering...

    My aftermarket wheels have a Powder Coated center with Polished stainless steel lips and I just removed them and put my stocks on until my new tires come in. In the mean time I did notice that the SS lips look as if they have minor swirls on them, I guess from everyday driving and whatnot. I...

    Who started from home?

    I'm aware of new potential customers being a little weary about going to someones home to get their cars worked and that can be a major downfall for someone trying to get started in this business even if its a weekend thing. For those of you that started from home......how was that...

    Saving the good stuff?

    Just curious! Seems logical to me that as far as supplies, I would save the "good stuff" for high end/full detail jobs (for customers that actually know/understand full detailing), and use cheaper/more of OTC products for daily drivers (customers who just care about the clean part). I feel...
