Such great replies and good ideas. Thank you all! Mike I would like to start using that form and am interested in a class if for no other reason than to validate my skills. thank you!
I started detailing for the local Porsche dealership in 98. Learned a lot and was an enthusiast since then. Doing my own cars and such. In 2007 I started 360detail. It was a small detail service I ran out of the back of my Jeep Unlimited. Last year I decided to take the jump and really sink some...
I have an order I need to place. I keep missing the recent sale codes. I'm looking for a 15% and flat rate or free shipping code. My email is [email protected]. You'll see I'm a long time frequent customer.
I book jobs every where I go now. It's incredible. When people see my setup it helps them make a confident decision they are using a professional. The pressure washer required a little modification, capping one port, adding a bypass line to another, and of course the extra fitting on the tank.
Right now anywhere from 400-1200 a week. I work at the fire station every 3rd day and detail on my off days. I expect it to pick up a bit now that I got the trailer wrapped.
All the equipment is at the back door. All exhaust ports point away from walls or towards the back. There's a large space between the generator and pressure washer. These two machines are never running simultaneously. Been using this set up for months with no issues. Eventually I plan on running...
I decided to extend the drain valve and lines on the compressor and install a water separator. Put some clamps on some hose fittings and hung my Autogeek banner.
Thanks for viewing!
I built this shelf out of poplar and 2x4s then used spray on BEDLINER for the coating. This holds my air hose and pressure washer hose reels.
With 3 gas powered machines in the back I figured a good extinguisher by the front door was in order.
I built another shelf and painted it blue...
I toyed around with buying skid mounted equipment or even looked at a rightlook trailer. You can build your own for less than half. I started with a custom build 6x10 trailer. I probably could have done a 5x8 but I utilized the extra space for a work bench.
Drove 2 hours to GA to the factory...
I do all my own designs. These cards are front and back. I do a lot of bikes and cars so these should appeal to everyone. I don't like cramming a bunch of info on a card.
I have a 6hp Rigid shop vac with the 2.5 in hose. The hose is short and not very flexible. I about to order a custom 30' flexible shop vac hose for this vac. Buying 30' in 2.5"diameter is not only expensive but it will take a lot of room. I want to go down to 1.5 or 1 7/8th inch hose. Its more...
Hello Mike,
I wanted to ask you this specifically.
I have a LC backing plate on my mikita and Ive had a few wool pads. They seem to be hard and curve around the backing plate. Not only does the lint make 10xs the mess than needed, but it seems to be very stiff and hard to work with.
I...
Sigh. Man I do about 6 cars a week. I've had 2 of these. Great for that weekend warrior. Great for new spots. But really it's no different than a scrub brush, folex, and a full size wet vac. It doesn't have the suction of a good wet vac.
I'm currently trying to research the difference between the 15 and 21. I got excited when I saw Mike Phillips did that car using both machines but he didnt really mention much about them like how they handle, what the correction power was like Etc. it was a 4-6 page thread and I'm pretty sure I...
I bought this at Advance Auto to try out.
I did a test on my 31" BF Goodrich AT/KO on my jeep. Just one tire.
Its extremely Shiny. I did NOT like how shiny it is. BUT I put it on a low profile tire on a sports car and it looks great.
Also, I detailed a lifted FJ Cruiser. I sprayed the...
