OK allow me to remove the foot from my mouth!!! I received a very nice email from Kate Carr, the current editor of the Pro carwashing and detailing magazine. She reminded me that I DID INDEED SEND THEM THE PIC to use with the mobile vs fixed detailer story. I am embarrassed that I forgot I sent the pic and that I made a stink about this. I apologize to Mrs. Carr, to PC&D magazine anby Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

The content seems to be alright but.. it doesn't look very good. It looks very plain. The type is very small and a bit hard to read. I don't feel you business. I want to be able to get a taste for what your business is about.by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

Look it over and try to figure how much time it will take you to do it and charge him your hourly rate. Make it clear you will do an awesome job but you havn't done a truck that big before. Give him a price to wash it that day but make it clear that once you have completed the job you will know how many hours it takes you and you can give him the price for washing it next time.

<HTML>You go get ém boyeeeeeee!!</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>I don't get it. If you owned a restaurant would you only feed your clients crackers and brag about how they don't eat steak? We charge $60 to wash an Escalade and $160 to wash and wax one. Two of us take about 30 to 40 minutes to wash one and about an hour to 1 ½ to wash and wax it. They is better, easier money in the larger service.

<HTML>................. but if you are or aren’t God it doesn't change my clients perception of the local car washes.</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Maybe your God.</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Let’s go with the assumption that everything you say is true. We are keeping busy and charging $45+ per wash (off route and large vehicles are more) due solely to the perception of the car washes in my clients eyes that car washes are bad. Because millions use it dosn't hold water. McDonalds has to be the worst food I have ever had and they make billions!! People surly eatby Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Also-- Let me add this. How ever the car washes leave cars is OK. It is perfectly acceptable be it scratched, marred, etc....... The line around the block to get in has told me that. I hear all the time how unhappy many are with the car wash, then they complain about me charging $45 to do their car!! Go figure.</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Bud, It might be easier to convince someone that there isn’t a God than to try to convince them that car washes don’t scratch. I have never seen God but have seen many many vehicles butchered by car washes. I am sure there are some awesome car washes but they are far and few in my area. My walk by faith and not by sight doesn’t apply to car washes-SORRY.</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Bud, No test needed. A wash mit in the hands of a Superior Shine employee will not scratch the paint on any vehicle nearly as much as an car wash. I see the results every day all the time. I am in business partly due to the low quality work of the car washes, body shops and auto dealers.</HTML>by Superior Shine - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
