Rep Power: 0 Hey Scott, thats a TON of cars to detail in one day? Is that humanly possible? I know you are a pro but thats 5 cars and a huge van. How do you do it?
I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee to do this Saturday.
125$ for the whole job, and I am going to really take care of this guy. I'm going to try and do a few more cars during the last few weekends this summer.
During the late fall and winter I'm going to focus on getting my website made up and getting a business liscense for:
www.customautocare.com I might even expand to waxing boats this spring as well.
Do you ever need any help detailing? I'd be honnored to work with you for a day and pick up some new tips and tricks. I remember you telling me you have been detailing since 1988. That's really impressive. So let me know if I can be of any help. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for getting back to me so soon Scott. I would def. be interested in working with you on Saturday's in the future.
I have already set aside Sat. to detail a Jeep out east . However, if something does come up where this guy cancels or his wife needs the car I will get back you no later than 10 p.m. tomorrow (Friday) night via e-mail to let you know what's going on.

Rep Power: 372 I did the Solora, and my car.....fully detailed it.....
Then I cleaned my apartment and I got a call from one of my friends. She was getting her hair done and a girl at the salon backed her moms Acura tl into a white pole. So I told her to come by and I would buff it out....
She showed up at my house and I buffed out the rear bumper. All the white paint came off but the bumper was missing paint....and had huge scratches that were deep. I told her she was going to need to visit a body shop.
She told me that her boss wanted her car detailed and that she wanted to get the acura fully detailed...So I gave her 2 business cards...and hopefully I have gained a customer...or two. Oh and I didnt charge her to buff out her bumper.

Rep Power: 0 I detailed one of the bartenders at my bar's Jeep. He was so happy with the job I'll be doing his wife's Sebring this week and detailing another woman's Escort Wagon.
This bartender is really getting me business, he's telling so many people about my work! All my detailing money is going into the "new car fund". Doing regular jobs like this is really helping me out.
31k miles on the CiviC after 1.5 years. It's already time to start saving for a new car!
