She didn't change the subject when I cracked some jokes.

How many tickets you have and how much you want for them?

Some just play along with it. Women are confusing. Just see if she wants to go on like an actual dinner date or did I not see that you already did?

I accept donations...

Welcome to the game Sam, learn to play it better. OHHHH SNAP!

Anyways, one work truck down, on Evo to go.

Nick is that what you mainly do now for a job is have your own detailing business?

Yes sir, it's been keeping me occupied and paying a hell of a lot better. If things keep picking up at this rate, will be looking into a shop at some point.

2 and $105 for the pair

The idiot light is a level sensor that is integrated into the oil pan. Like a fuel light, it only trips when the oil drops below that level. However, when you take the oil pan off, it is VERY hard not to break that sensor. With that already done before I bought the car, I just leave it because I check my oil constantly.

The stock oil pressure sensor is usually on the head and the light only comes on when you have NO pressure and by that time it's too late lol. The spot where the aftermarket setup was is usually where it is and there is a plug off of the harness. So basically you are talking about 2 seperate sensors. The idiot light will always be on unless I get motivated to pull the bulb.

Also he hasn't worked on the clutch yet because the slave isn't there. BUT he has a pump to bleed it donut won't take long lol.

How much do you spend on supplies would you say a month?

The same supplies have last me....the last 2-3 months without issue. HOWEVER, quite a bit was spent on clay bars yesterday for a not so normal job. Removed water proof paint over spray on a full sized Silverado...two guys and about 6 hours of removal alone. Phate1229 was a HUGE help yesterday

BUT, If I was to restock everything, not including the machines, I'd be looking at about...2 grand at least

christ....

Wow ok, yeah definately don't have 2 grand laying around to start one up myself. I want to but have a feeling the quality wouldn't come out as great as yours for some reason haha.

That's also not including the MF towels and such, some which go for $20-30 a piece.

do you have a specific supplier you go to? probably could find something in bulk that help cut the cost down in the long run ri ght?

Lol Nick Oakes is so dope

I do, but there are some suppliers that carry specific products that many do not, the difference is really in the products I use. Most detail shops are more concerned about being cost effective then being quality effective. Every paint is different per manufacturer, example being 2005+ Mercedes and BMW use a Ceramic based paint, that normal compounds WON'T penetrate. I use very high end products that are vehicle specific, yes I've spent $60 for a 16oz bottle just so I can work on a Mercedes.

Any other shop would have just used their harshest compound and their oldest pad and gone to work. Then you get swirl/hologram city, It's a clear seperation, it isn't cheap but it's MUCH more worth it.

and thats how you develop a high reputation.

:mrgreen:

It's not easy to build a reputable name, but I'd like to think I'm well on my way to one. Still branching out and getting the name out there.

BTW, get excited for this EVO thread, talk about a total overhaul. I'm excited for this one

so dope he's the detail pope with a dick like a tug of war rope
