Hey, I was wondering if any of you guys live in New York? I opened up a detail shop, and am trying to get my name out. It is on Long Island in Garden City Park. So if anybody lives in the area you should come check it out! :D I have some promotions going and if anybody is in the area and comes by from the forum I'll give you a special Nissan, Infiniti discount! Thanks! :cool:

Sounds great!

Good luck with your business, if I was in NY I would sure want to patronize one of our own.

Yea it's been sort of slow in the winter because it would not stop snowing!! But now that the weather is nice more and more people are starting to call. "Spruce Up For Spring" is on all the flyers that my fiancé and i are giving out! That winter was the worst, so a nice detail would sure help wash off all that salt!:D I almost forgot, for details I have a page you can check out (it is just a quick page that was thrown together untill i can manage to make a better one!): http://hometown.aol.com/qx4lp4me/

Oh man!!! Today we had some lady's car to do, it was the worst car in the world!!! She claimed that her "dog" went to the bathroom in the car! I had to wear a mask while cleaning the stupid thing, you couldn't even breathe! She had the car detailed from us about a month ago, and we purchased plastic floor mats for her and she needed new ones again because they were all torn up! What the heck did she do, eat them?! But the reason why we detailed it again so soon was because aparently she stunk up the car so bad in that short time that the Hyundai dealer wouldn't even work on it!! Also, just to give you an idea of how bad it smelled, the vacuums we used had to be power washed in the inside because while vacuuming another car it blew out smelly air from the "creature's car" (thats what we knicknamed it!).

A good detailing is what both of my cars desperately need! Need to make that a spring project.
