    Does anyone have any advice and recommendations of software that is used to manage your business as a detailer ?

    For example; record-keeping of everything that you perform on a particular car, including waxing, paint thickness, full-service or interior-only, and etc. Basically, having notes for everything so that it can be a point of reference if the need arises.
