Congrats! I hope my business takes off and I can in turn purchase toys like those :D

[VroomVroom]

Holy smokes! Right on, man. Here's wishing you all the best. You've undoubtedly got the technical savvy, and if you're half as good at marketing you'll be turning away business in no time.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your target? Are you going for premium dealer business, by any chance?

Edit
Let me congratulate you as well on the website. It is simply outstanding. Informative, tasteful, and very pleasing to the eye.

[Grouse]

Purely enthusiasts, this is due to the sheer amount of time i spend on each car. Dealers will not stand for my kind of Detail work. Even high end dealers employ lackluster speed detailing techs. Most of my customers love their cars, Yes we all do as enthusiasts. However i think my customers differ a bit. Many of mine have spent months and years searching for their exact model. These are the customers i look for. Slowly, I am lucky enough that i can buy this and build my business into it.

Hey i was wondering how many customers do you have?? and how did you find them??

im in highschool and i really like detailing my car... and lately ive been thinking i could maybe make a little cash on the side over the summer doing this.

and their are some very nice cars in my area. a guy on my street has a ferrari and carrera, and theirs a lot of audi's, bmw's, mercedes, and etc around here.

My only concern is finding customers. And i think that a lot of people wont trust a 17 year old to wash their pride and joy :(

O and your site is sick. the gallery is awsome.

[DetailersDomain]

notob6,

If you can hook up with a reputable detailer out there that would be best to learn etc...

Start off with a PC or a Cyclo .....Handling a rotary you will need some practice.

You can alway start with your parents, friends, family members etc and grow your customer base from there.

Let me know I can put a start up package for you if you decide to go with this.

[Grouse]

My PDM or PDG arrived today. Wow it gives you alot of info.

[DetailersDomain]

which one did you get?

[Grouse]

the positec dft.

[DetailersDomain]

Where did you get it from and boy you are up early.

[Grouse]

I ordered it straight from delfesko, Here is their site. http://www.autopaintgage.com/auto-paint-measurement.htm They put this together for the Detailing industry.

I was looking at the ETGII also. I however went for simplicity and easy of use over complicated mess.
