    Same here (I'm a High School Student) I was just wondering what you did to get customers? (Don't worry, I wont steal your business :p I'm in Toronto)

    haha it's all good buddy. Honestly I would have to say a lot of it is from word of mouth, and the half drive. I go to a lot of car meets and I post on a couple car sites, so a lot of people know me as the detailer. So once I'm at car meets then people ask this and that, and yeah. Just keep up the work, and be honest about things. There is no way you'll get customers if you have shady business practices, so make sure you don't take whatever cars for a spin, or rev them...etc. It sounds obvious, but those are just some big no-no's.

    Forgot to add this a while ago, I got my Highline Paint Thickness Gauge a few weeks ago, works well but the part that comes in contact with the paint will potentially marr the paint, so I cut some hockey tape and placed it carefully along.

    Sorry the pictures are blurry:shakehead:

    no your going to steal my business, jk. Didn't know you were in TO, you should give me a shout, I could use a hand on some details and you may get some experience.

    Sounds good, but by Toronto I mean Mississauga. I'll consider this though, thanks :)

    Quite the collection you have going B! I'm curious though... since you have your LSP applicators so well organized and maintained, do you wash them out after you're doing using them and then put them back in their respective Ziploc bags? Or do you just put them in the Ziploc bags after you're done using the applicator?

    I have yet to designate my applicators in a tidily fashion. I think I may end up doing the Ziploc idea as well.

    Thanks!
    lol...cheaper than a repaint my friend. This is only like $299 or $199 I believe. It's not to bad.
    Thanks! Yeah I wash them after use, let them dry, and put them back in a labelled bag

    Anything above $200 is gettin up there though. I'm just sticking to a DA for now. But after a very super special exotic detail coming up soon I might get a Flex. But nonetheless, nice collection!! Were young grasshoppers!
