Just wanted to say hi and reintroduce myself. I'm Mike (known in these parts as RustyTruck) from Afterglow RV Auto Detailing. I have been off Autogeek for a while because last year business was really busy. This year looks even better with coatings really taking off. I will be asking some...

I wanted a refresh on the website, so I did a redo. I was able to keep the simple clean look that most people like while making it look fresh and new. I updated photos and prices. I reduced my photo gallery from 60 to 16 photos. I eliminated my cquartz finest page.(no longer want to be an...

The Afterglow difference by Afterglow RV auto detailing - YouTube I was wondering if you guys thought this would be an improvement to my website? I would put it on the website home page so it would be the first impression of me that the customer would see. The thing that people always like...

So after reading a lot about steamers I decided it was just what Afterglow detailing needed. I went out and ordered a Kleenjet Pro Plus 200s from Daimer industries. It cost me $887 and shipping was free and only took 2 days. I tested it out and seems well built (made in Italy) and easy to use...

I am attending. This will be my first trip where I get to meet a bunch of you. I really hope to see Mike Phillips and Renny Doyle. I will be attending Thurs and Fri. I won't get to stay at the hotel with all you guys because I'm coming down with my wife and 6 yr old son. I guess there is some...

Most of our customers come from word of mouth so I thought a group like this would be perfect. It is group of business owners that meet one morning a week and give referrals to each other and for each other. What more could a auto detailer ask for than a group of 40 or so other small business...

After finishing Rennys book I realized I was making some mistakes on the business end of things. I redid my website, mainly the Service Menu which is something Renny really stresses. It's funny how one year ago I was the new guy with the low prices and now I charge more than anyone around(there...

This book is dead on in every aspect of business I can think of. This book has me on fire to grow my business this year. This book was the best $20 I EVER spent. This book makes me want to get on a plane and fly to CA to spend a week with this man. WOW. Yes the book is that good. The best...

I'm excited about the new Opti-coat pro warranty program so I gave it it's own page on my site. This is a program I'm looking forward to really start promoting this spring. If you see anything wrong with the page please let me know. I figured it is my most expensive offering so I would give it a...

I bring up the topic because I always see people saying that this company or that company manufactures all their own stuff. I don't believe anyone makes all thier own stuff. The product lines in some of the biggest companies are so diverse that I can't believe that some of their stuff is not...

I ask this question because I know of none. If you look at the owners manuals of some of the most popular cars on the road(ex. F150 BMW 3 Accord) they all say to protect with a carnauba wax or a synthetic wax(sealant) I know a lot of guys talk about coatings but I wonder why the manufactures...

Made a few changes that I think will help it get indexed better. I could use some web traffic so take a look. Feel free to leave me some feedback. Thanks.

Anyone know if their products are any good? How about your professional relationship with the company? They just opened a new detail shop about 20mins from my house, It looks great and will be used as their company training location. I am thinking about going through the program.(which is still...

I re did my auto services page on my website. I actually raised the prices but included more in them. It turns out a lot more of my customers are women than men. I thought auto detailing was going to be all about polishing paint (you would think so after reading mikes book lol) Turns out the...

When I'm on this forum I'm always clicking on links to other detailers website's. Many of you have great websites but few of you actually have any info about you or any photos of you(I know a few of you have your pics and bio up) I think people like to see who they will be doing business with...

I know a couple guys sent me pm and emails about my temporary place holder site site. I told them the new site would be up May 1st so I'm 2 days late(problem uploading photos). I'm glad to say it's up and running. have a click around. I guess it helps the site if I get some traffic clicking...

As part of my express detail service I do a quick sprucing up of the interior. That includes a full vacuum of interior and a quick wipe down of the vinyl. I want to do one step better and I'm looking for advice as to what that step should be. I have a cyclo with aqua carpet scrub brushes. I...

I've been reading a lot of posts about guys not having any luck thru Facebook then I click on their page and see it only has 12 or 15 likes. Once you get over 30 likes your page gets a web address and shows up on a Google search. If you type in afterglow detailing into google it shows up. I'm...

What do you guys think of the new logo. The wife is a graphic designer so I get this stuff done for free. I told her i was looking for something like those old gas a and oil signs from the old gas stations. I think she nailed it.

Well everything just went really well with my first paid customer. The new cyclo polisher really paid off and i couldn't have done it without ONR. OK I give up I'm not sure how to upload a pic on this post,but You can click on my Facebook page to see.
