Yes I totally understand, we are going to upgrade our materials after a detailing job or two. I'll fix that, we aren't misleading anyone. We do very quality work and work very hard.

Thanks for reminding me to clear that up! Like you said, all of the money we make go to our parents.

Different streams for different consumer wants. Besides they are trying to pay for college, don't knock them........ DM is not paying for college. They aren't even paying for vendor status.
Agreed. These guys are working hard to pay thru college. I would love to come and support if I was local!


DM currently isn't a vendor because simply we are not acting as one, and not advertising for our services. We are hoping to get our webstore up in a few months and officially becoming a vendor soon after ;-)

@bnassssty - pm sent :-)

Thanks for the advice! We don't mean to step on anybody's toes, we are just trying to help out our families with some of the bills. Lots of inquiries, will start taking before and after shots and posting them here so everyone can get a sense of the work.

Pm replied!

Heck, you guys could always offer them up a spot when you go big too.

As for my reply's, not that it matters here at all, just to keep things honest and open from my side, I know people looking to HireUp for the Summer months and as I always say, to a degree, keep it local. If I can help out a local and help out a local business, and not have it be something I may regret, makes it a possible win in my book.


Then again as most of you know, I always switch into Business Mode at any moment's notice.

Good Luck to Ya Guys and do listen to the advise you've been given.

If you are looking to upgrade your products, it might be worth taking a look at the products that the professional detailers use, such as the ones on Detailed Image or other similar sites. Detailed Image is pretty cool because it's got how-tos as well as a detailing product store.

From my detailing exsperience I would look into different products as some don't work we'll even if they are a higher quality brands. I've been using Adams products and they work great, some of there products don't work as good as others so I will pick and choose different brands for different products. Just to detail one car inside and out takes me 6-12 hours for full detail, I charge Inbetween 200-500 for one car. Having more cars to detail does not always mean more money, most people will come back again if done correctly.
