<HTML>Recently the Star News published a press release on my detailing clinics, included it mentioned that I was responsable for getting the Assocation off ground. This is totally inaccurate, Brain and Jim did all the work to get it going. I apologize for the misprint. Gary</HTML>by turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>For those that have e mailed me questions about the program, you can now read about it in America's Car Care Business August issue, page 96. That pretty much sums it up. Hope you can gain insight from the story. Gary</HTML>by turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>The above thread was sent to Frank as a Private email. As you can see from how it was posted, it was "cut and pasted" to this forum. I have no reason as to why he violated that confidential trust. I apologize if it offended anyone here as it was beyond my control.

<HTML> Bud, thanks again for your eloquent description on your choice of words (“rag peddler”) don’t worry if I’m offended, seems to be part of your dialog as of late. I take great pride, and satisfaction on introducing a great product to people which they have not experienced before. I also correct people when they refer to MF towels as “rags”, I call them finesse’ towels. They are anythby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Frank, sounds like a winner! I will try it. I do raffle off some products at my seminars/ (MF towels/ sealant ) I'm now putting together a little "detailing quiz" which I will pass out before my class, so people can test their knowledge, that should be fun. p.s. If you have any links or imput on what questions I can use on this test, I'm all ears. Just keep in miby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Anthony, looks really good. I really did like your other web site also. This one comes across well. Bold, easy to read, good access for topics to point and click. and as usual, some REALLY NICE RIDES > PICS. You inspired me to go after high end stuff. Honestly, when I do a car like that, its more like making love, than work. The silver Porsche on the front would "pop" ifby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Just foot note on MF towels. If you are considering starting up your own product line to sell, this is without a doubt the one item to start selling. MF was the first item I started to sell at my clinics, and it is by far by largest mover. You will be amazed how lilttle the public knows about them. The auto industry has done a remarkable job of keeping them a secret. I bring them withby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Robert, go after what is in your heart, and what motivates you. Bud has said some words of wisdom, but it is exactly what he posted here that to me says this field is wide open for the taking. When I started looking at dealers, I looked at the HIGH END ones, not your chevy dealer.

<HTML>Joe, I think that only works BEFORE the post. LIke if you type in word then come to the forum and paste it. I tried to highlight my post, then copy it in word, (which worked fine) then when I came back to the forum to paste it corrected, it would not accept it.

<HTML>Thats great. this year I introduced my first 3 part hands on clinic. It will be at a local high school. first seminar will be class room, 2nd and 3rd are hands on/ we will detail a car in the shop. Since I'm 51, when I get tired of doing the work, teaching will be nice (relaxing) fun way to stay active in the business.</HTML>by turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Not sure if these will show up, but my labor of love today was a SL500/ Interior has Bud's Mink oil on the leather/ Exterior AIO and my sealant. Since it was showing all day today, they will be picking it up on a trailor tomorrow. This Lambo dealer really likes my work, and they have been sending me some really nice rides. Sure beats the heck out of mini vans. <img src=&quby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>One day a smart car shopper went to a dealer looking for a GOOD used car. He was told by a friend to carry a magnet with him, that way he could detect if any bondo was on the car. He felt like he was in control. Walking around the display lot he noticed a car that caught his fancy. The salesman was quick to meet him. As they were discussing the details about the car, the buyer almostby turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Greetings, here is the New Lambo L140 (500 HP 5.0) they just arrived in the U.S. I got to do my first detail on one today, story goes it got help up in customs in Italy, and after several weeks in a rain storm with a cover on it, (see the damage in the finish) after 4 hours, I think I brought it back to life. List price $170,000. How many Cruisers will that buy? </HTML>by turbomangt - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Jim, I got the message you sent, but we could not open the attached file, all we got is a red dot.
