Yes, V4. HD speed is in my shopping cart as I'm planning to compare the two soon. The V4 didn't wow me, but I was pleased with the results, as was the cusotmer. I have no issue continuing to use it, but I would like to try HD next

I've never used an AIO until recently. I've always done a one step polish, then applied sealant/wax (on my own vehicles). The AIO I was recommended is Chemical Guys AIO. I've used it a couple times and really did a great job removing swirls and light scratches. It brought back a great gloss...

My boy, Ruger. sorry about the sideways one

For those who have maintenance customers. How are you guys setting these customers up? Is it an add-on to a full detail package? Is it a subscription type service? And what are you including with your maintenance service? I've been thinking about building in a maintenance service but wasn't...

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. I've researched competition and theres really not a lot. There are some, but still few that are strictly detailers. Most of its auto bodies that offer some detailing. There are a couple detail shops, nothing really in my immediate area, and a couple...

seems this thread has gone astray...

thanks. I'm pretty much set with my products and how long each step would take. I'm looking for feedback more so on how my packages are set up and the pricing on each.

Yup, and when someone comes up to see what the heck I'm doing, I smile and whip out my business card. lol

Because from a consumers point of view, and even detailers, the beading LOOKS better. I dont think I've ever heard someone say "wow look at that water sheet!" No, they say "heyyy look at that water bead right up". Its the desired aesthetic. And when you do get water spots, they have a...

Here's the link my most recently edited pricing sheet. I really appreciate the feedback thus far. I've got Nissan Murano scheduled for Saturday. At the time I scheduled it, the Advanced packed was clay bar + cleaner wax so that's what I'll be doing. BLUE LINE PRICING - Google Docs

I dont think we took that as confrontation, I appreciate the different point of views to consider. I have never used Sonax, but taking a quick look at the desciption on Amazon, I take it thats similar to McKees 37 Hydro Blue? At a lower price point, I'm spray waxes are heavily used. If...

I wouldnt say I'd RATHER do that. But theres a place for each. I'd use a spray wax as a maintenance product to enhance, or fortify an existing layer of liquid/paste wax. I would not use a spray wax if there is no wax on the car at all, or if the car needs to be clayed and polished.

I would agree with this. And I also believe that applying by machine is the most beneficial to me, and the customer. It saves me time, and it saves me product. I can cover more area with less product with a RO. And for the customer, they get a service that ensured more even coverage of the...

This is great feedback, Lim. Thank you very much. Based on what you said, I'm considering the idea of making the Pro Package contain the AIO polish and not offering the one step at this time. At least not in the pricing sheet. Maybe keep it in my pocket to pull out with family or friends...

Thats a good idea Cruz thank you. I'll probably add "starts at" with a * for a disclaimer regarding excessive filth/hair. As for the car seats, I wouldnt do it. I dont have kids, so I dont know how to do it. My dad is a cop, and they're trained/certified to do it, and offer that service...

Thanks! I inserted my answers below.

How do you gauge "excessive filth/pet hair"? I'm sure you've had customers ask what you consider excessive. And how do you price that? Do just track the hours it takes you to clean the excess filth and pet hair, and tack that rate on to the cost of the overall detail?

Thanks for the reply, Belo. I appreciate that point of view. With regard to your question on the wax, I'm assuming you're talking about the Intermediate Package? I've actually been thinking about switching it to a spray wax, since I plan on having a list of individual services that customers...

I did my first official job this weekend. It was my sisters car, I wasnt going to charge her because she's a mom of two kids under , 6 wk old daughter, and an almost 2 y/o son, and shes a student working on her PhD (god help her) and because shes my sister. But shes more stubborn than I am so...
