Alrighty guys... I have a monthly customer who has decided he wants me to do his houseboat. The issue is... the boat is 225 miles away. He is wanting the 70'x16' houseboat washed and waxed. I generally charge $100 lineal foot for this. However, it's a little bigger than what I'm used to. The...

How does everyone else deal with them? I've had three this week. Doesn't hurt much, but that's lost revenue. $450 to be precise. Not sure how I can keep them excited to get it done or whatever, but would like to not lose any really. Sent from my SM-N900V using AG Online

So I just got a new 6x12 enclosed trailer. Thinking about using a garage floor coating. Anyone else have any luck or knowledge of this? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using AG Online

Have you ever met a detailer and after 5 minutes of talking you feel sympathetic for all their customers? Just met one who argued with a potential client that a Klasse sealant lasts forever and can't be to removed so he prefers waxes. He made me $300 so I guess can't hate too much. Also pretty...

Attempted to polish these wheels earlier. Either they're being stubborn or my methods are wrong. 1) Wash with soap and water. 2) Scrub with Megs Wheel and Tire Cleaner with Daytona wheel brush. 3) Clay bar. 4) Polish using meguiars wheel polish kit. Seems like it should work..? Sent from my...

A customer sent me these pictures. He wants it cleaned up due to his kids getting in the car. I wanna take it on as a showcase to potential clients. The black is graphite from a local factory. I've dealt with it before, just not to this capacity. What I'm thinking is megs APC+, McCulloch...

Hey guys! The usual bag I use to transport my interior supplies is wearing down. Looking for something else. Seen the bags on here, seen some tool boxes. Wanted to know what other mobile guys use. The bag I have now is the same size as the big one on here but seems a little smaller than I'd...

I just got an offer to wash the vehicles at a dealership. This would be an all year contract. They are insisting $2 per car. 200+/- cars. Anyone have experience of this? I've heard $3-$5 but didn't know if anyone had better experience. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using AG Online

I'm sure this has been, like the subject days, beat to death... but I've been looking at vacuums for the last three hours and my eyes hurt. What's the best one under $150-$200... mines got the death squeal and I've tried cleaning etc. I'm sure the 100+ hours isn't the problem at all (sarcastic)...

With the warm weather moving in, and my phone getting blown up by customers... I'd like to meet up with some other detailers and possibly even do a car. I'm mobile, so I do not have a shop where we all can meet at. I think this could be an excellent way to possibly learn something new, if not...

I see a lot of detailers meeting up on here, so I'm thinking before it gets extremely cold we meet up. I was thinking Indy or somewhere that everyone is close to. Maybe one person has a car they need done or just do one of ours. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using AG Online

I just received a call from a factory where I'm located about a paint system failure that leaked into the parking lot getting over spray on 30+ cars. Usually I charge about $40/hr for over spray removing. However this is completely different. Any ideas? They want a total estimate bid. Sent...

I am currently doing a show truck for Cummins Motor Inc. It is a Semi with a cargo bed. They want it to look as shiny as new paint and said charge for whatever needs done. Its gonna be a long haul, but with all the product I am using to get the road wear and restore the shine I am thinking...

Hey all! Bought some OTC leather paint. Did a spot on my backseat which rarely gets used. Turned out great. Still hasn't worn off. However, did it for a customer and it wore off after getting in and out of the seat a few times. Any ideas on a better approach, product, or how to? Sent from my...

Alright guys! Been a minute since I lasted posted. Doing 4-6 cars a weeks now. Getting calls left and right! However, I feel like my pricing for paint correction is off. I'm usually doing 60-75/hr or 50 per panel. Hood is considered two panels. Any advice from some vets? Sent from my DROID RAZR...

One thing I am incorporating to my mobile detailing business is a mobile wash. I am trying to decide where to pass flyers. There is a town near me with about 20k people and not a car wash. It is not a high income area. However, there is affluent area about 12 minutes from a car wash. I'm trying...

A very good client brought this to me and I need advice whether its fixable or not. Even just enough to diminish will help. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using AG Online
