It's Spring ....
 
time to restock supplies, and get ready for the long days of detailing. so I placed a little order with Rick .. 5 boxes or so ..

pads, bottles, some #21 2.0 some #135 and I picked up a G110 to try .. if I don't like it, I will just give it to my brother ..

you can get yourself setup with a decent starting supply, including a DA for around $200. http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com

This is a lot of bulk stuff, bottles for sending clients home with samples, extra MF towels and waffle weaves, since they have a tendenacy to leave with my clients..

I won't unbox any of this until I am done with the garage in April ..

I 'heard it through the grapevine' that you had placed a 'serious' order. :lol:

Any new goodies in there that you're going to give a whirl?

Have fun Gipraw... and I know you will. :D

lol .. it was large enough to make the wife do a double take when she asked how much .. :lol:

only new thing is the #21 2.0 .. went ahead and got the 64 oz, so I hope I like it, but I was totally out .. so I needed ssomething .. also picked up a gallon of 135.

Most of it was supplies.. bottles and pads .. 12 LC pads, 6 Meg's pads and 6 Edge pads.. it had been a long time since I bought anything.



Thanks Boss .. you know I will have fun playing.

Wow, some of you guys spend money on detailing like I spend on my actual vehicle !! :devil: :devil:

Gipraw you detail as a source of income, right?

I don't do it as a source of income for any type of of normal expenses anymore. at this point in my life, it is more my hobby and a form of stress relief, so I have a few regular clients I keep, plus the occasional referral. so I am no longer actily persuing clients.

I make enough to pay for all my supplies, plus a few extra toys every year.

ahhh this thread makes me want to make my order that much more... but I can't order until the weather smooths out a little more.

Gotcha. I didn't think you did it as a main source of income. But that's pretty cool. I wish people were willing to pay what guys like us would charge for a "real" detail in my area. :coffee:
