The page is pretty cool!

My input:

1. make the slide show faster, 10sec between pics is too long IMO

2. Move the "heck of a deal" line to AFTER the truck/SUV pricing, cause they're only saving $10 for the car but they're saving $40 for the truck/suv.

3. You need to move to Houston so I can get my Impala and Malibu detailed by you.

#3 is the most critical so you need to get on that ASAP!!!


Seriously though, your prices are AMAZING LOW!! I paid a guy $300 to detail my car and the paint correction was good, but yours looks better. Plus he didn't work any kind of magic on the interior like you do.

Just a couple comments....the site looks good. I own my own detailing company as well. You need to have more periodic sales items like wash/wax packages where people can spend $50 and have their car cleaned with you doing little detail work. It's nice to bust out a full detail worth $300 and see the look on the customers face, but not everyone is going to spring for that monthly.

If you build up your customers and have them see you on a periodic basis, then there is more room for profit.

Looks good but I see one typo. Towards the end of the first paragraph you have productson instead of products on

Slide show is perfect now!! It gives you enough time to look over the entire pic but not too long as to where you get bored looking at the pic.


But I didn't see where you said you were moving to Houston, sooooo I need you get on that please!!!

Glad to hear its working for you. I hit a little dry spell after doing 2 cars in a row. Then, all the sudden I have like 4 cars lined up and 2 Harleys.

I really need to get a website going.

Adams is great I mean anyone that has the time can really make this stuff work great. Just takes practice, is what i have learned.

Its good to see you progressing I hope I can do the same.

I should stop being lazy and post the pics of the 2010 SS Camaro i just did. I swear the owner used scotch pads to clean it. I mean for a new car i never saw so many scratches and swirls. Crazy!

Nice clean site. I like that it is simple and shows plenty of examples of quality work. It's definately smart to reinvest in the business, too.

I'll have to get you to do my car sometime one way or another, but probably not this summer because I'm spending all of my money on tools, parts, and probably a third vehicle (I'm looking at full size vans).
