How much product overhead to start a store July 06, 2004 02:23AM |
<HTML>how much do you think intial product overhead will run to open up a detail shop? I've been selling trailers like crazy and now its time to move onto chemicals and supplies.
Any links to wholesalers would be appreciated too
I'm not going to sell online, only local so no worry about competition for those of you online vendors. If you want to share your source, can you email me at ShowtimeDetailing@2by2.net? That way you don't display it to the whole world 
Thanks guys

<HTML>If you are interested in carrying "The Best" MicroFiber on the market, feel free to email me.
If you are interested in cheap Chinese towels, you can also email me..., but beware, you can buy the cheap stuff at Wal-Mart or Costco for less than .90ea... (plus it will not help if you are shooting for a reputation for quality</HTML>

<HTML>Great deal for "grunge work"
MF works so much better than cotton for cleaning..., even the cheap stuff, IMO...</HTML>

<HTML>Bud,
Cheap quality microfiber-
1- Lints
2- Causes Micro-marring on the paint
3- Very low durability
4- Low Performance
5-Fray's
I assumed as a "supplier" you would know that microfiber is made around the world..., not only Korea and China..., you must be thinking of some other product...,
Microfiber is even made in the USA.
As a "supplier", do you know the definition of microfiber?
BTW, you said you have "never" had any complaints on the quality of your microfiber...,
I have recieved many letters from new buyers that have commented on the poor quality of your towels..., I have even tried one sent by a customer a couple of years ago and was very disappointed, it started coming apart after only a couple of washes and was already much thinner (yes, I totally agree, all MicroFiber is not created equal..., just like any other product, from Diamonds to Automobiles, there is a HUGE difference in quality
I would normally not have mentioned that, but you did bring up the subject.</HTML>

<HTML>"Waynes world"........what's your response(if you have one) to Ketch's statement?
WAYNE STATED this about microfiber towells:
"I assumed as a "supplier" you would know that microfiber is made around the world..., not only Korea and China..., you must be thinking of some other product...,
Microfiber is even made in the USA".
AND ALSO THIS:
"If you are interested in carrying "The Best" MicroFiber on the market, feel free to email me.
If you are interested in cheap Chinese towels, you can also email me..., but beware, you can buy the cheap stuff at Wal-Mart or Costco for less than .90ea... (plus it will not help if you are shooting for a reputation for quality"
Wayne....now where is "the best" microfiber on the market(as you claim) made again,if not in korea or china.....explain that too us all again?
.....Sounds to me like wayne is the one who does'nt know what he is talking about.....MAYBEE he should research "microfiber" a lot more before claiming to be an expert on them.</HTML>

<HTML>Hi guys...,
Came in late again...
So, what is the question?
What is "The Best" microfiber?
(that is like asking "what is the best wax" or "what is the best car?")
For example, someone may say the best car is a hybrid because of the high gas milage..., someone else may say a F40 because of the high speed, someone else may say a van because of the room..., "get it" ?
It depends on what you are wanting to accomplish.
You would not want to use a waffle weave towel for cleaning..., just like a long nap towel is not best for windows..., that is the reason I supply different blends and weaves, to have the best performance for the job you are wanting to do.
I have tested microfiber towels that actually "repelled" water instead of soaking it up.
I have tested microfiber that linted like crazy..., no matter how many times you washed it.
I have tested microfiber that started to come apart after only a couple of washes.
I have tested microfiber that lost 25% of it's weight after only a couple of washes.
I have tested microfiber that introduced swirls, micro-marring and/or scratches to the surface
"Quality" microfiber will have none of the above problems(or actually- lack of performance)
BTW..., microfiber is not a "product", but the size of the thread....,
Leo makes his own cotton microfiber right here in the good ole' USA
It is a product like any other..., you usually get what you pay for</HTML>

Re: Buda MicroFiber Pricing: made in USA July 11, 2004 09:09PM |
<HTML>WAYNE....that is NOT a complete answer( like your always telling Buda).... the question ALSO to you(wayne) was;
WHERE is YOUR ("the best" as you claim) microfiber made???? (if not korea or china).. KETCH stated that ALL microfiber is made is korea/china !
WAYNE replied with this answer;
"Leo MAKES his own cotton microfiber right here in the good ole' USA"
MY question is to you is;
WHO is LEO ? and where in the USA exactly are they made(name the city)?
PLUS wayne contridicted himself by stating that microfiber was "NOT a PRODUCT"
wayne stated this;
"BTW..., microfiber is not a "product", but the size of the thread....,"
then wayne stated this in the next line;
"It is a product like any other...,"
WHICH IS IT ? A product or not a product?
From your statements here on this forum on MICROFIBER, considering your business is named "waynes towels" I ASSUMED and so will your customers you would know WHERE microfiber is made.Sounds to me you don't know as much as you claim to know about microfiber.....your just continue trying to "sell" microfiber towels by stating their the "best" and charging MORE than there really WORTH to justify the high-cost to your customers..... you SOUND to me MORE like a SALESMAN and not the EXPERT you claim to be on microfiber.
ALL the "experts" here disagree with you about WHERE microfiber is made....I wonder WHO the readers of this forum BELEIVE ?
YOU or EVERYBODY else here?????</HTML>

<HTML>Well CM...,
Since YOU have a bad attitude, I will let YOU do your own research...,
You are not looking for an answer, but instead an argument..., which you will not get from me, LOL!!!
You can be ignorant to the facts if you would like..., it just makes you look "unlearned"
The facts are the facts, and you can not change that
Old Proverb-
" Better to stay quiet and be thought a fool than to speak up and erase all doubt."</HTML>

<HTML>Ketch,
Here is "one" website of "made in the USA" microfiber>
Leo makes his own..., but everyone will have to argue that with him
[www.dftowel.com]
Again, microfiber is the "size" of the fiber, not what it is made of...,
I agree, Korea and China are the "largest importers" of microfiber towels...,
However, I can not give every "source" for the products..., just as ANY company would not post their "contacts", "manufacturers" or "formulas" for products on a public forum.
Where I get my products..., "private information" other than I do have them made in Korea to my specifications and under strict quality control)
(BTW, the information is easily obtained on my web site</HTML>

<HTML>"You get the drift?"
No..., not at all???
What does numbers have to do with "Quality"?
If I had a fleet of ships and multiple complex warehousing with 10,000 employees, would that make the end product better?
If I remember correctly, the post was on "quality", not "quantity"
If we will take notice, it is the "small shops" that produce "high performance specialty products" such as Shelby, Lamborghini, etc...
Hope this helps</HTML>
