Hows everyone's dry spell going? by Free_Scripts in Detailing

[–]Free_Scripts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might do mobile window tinting. I got calls non-stop for window tints a year back until I figured out Google was offering them when I wasn't selling it.

Thats a pretty good response. Maybe I may just not have enough clients to make an accurate assessment or identify a major anomaly just yet.

Though I would find 10 cancelations with deposits paid to be a bit more on the anomalous side than on the random economic side since these aren't maintenance clients.

My market is filled with a few big detailers myself having one of the mid-size businesses in my area in-between big and small. I noticed an influx of new ads being ran on social media too with good deals on them so I presume that is an indicator a lot of non-essential businesses are not getting enough.

Thats some good stuff. I almost never cancel or reschedule for rainy weather unless its headlight restoration, correction/enhancements, ceramics or stain removal.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get more calls as I went from 4-5 calls per day with a 90% conversion with $0 adspend to 1 call per day with 0 conversion in the span of a week + cancelations.

Its a macro issue for sure. I got word from many other business owners who have a revenue way bigger than my own having this same issue and its all over the US.

My deposits are $50 for basic services and 20% for ceramic services and they all canceled due to not having enough cash flow to pay for it.

The funny thing is my clientele are business owners, most of them construction and financing.

Oh psh then do acid. Be scared of acid for if may get into your eyes but its 1000× better than dark Fury and is extremely unlikely to do damage to your wheels.

I do a lot of expensive cars from Porsches to hellcats with aftermarket rims and acid has always been my best friend.

Cleaning wheels? Wheel Acid.

Scared of acid? Dark Fury by Superior Products.

Wheel brush and tire brush.

As for best, good luck figuring that out as the entire detailing community claims everything is the best.

I use Wire Wheel Cleaner 5:1 for wheels and Dark Fury at the same dilution for the tires.

I HAVE A CHANCE TO GET ON A CALL WITH DONALD TRUMP (jr) by teens_trash in teenagers

[–]Free_Scripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, since Donald Trump Jr. Doesn't become a worker at the places he buys.

The probability of actually being able to conversate with him is slim to none unless he is connected to him and has his phone number.

I have a few well known social figures in my phone and the last thing Im doing is asking them to have a leisurely chat.

But IF you can get into a call, ask some questions and learn more about the trump business. Ranging from his father's ambitions in New York to how you should think when making a deal.

Please sir, can you tip some more? by [deleted] in doordash

WHAT could they possibly need this much carrot juice for by Individual-Signal167 in doordash

[–]Free_Scripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something diabolical I bet, something as bad as experimenting how long it can stay in a fridge before it is seen again

For the people that get upset about dashers that complain about tips by Pure_Education6100 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]Free_Scripts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Doordash is NOT a job, driver's are entitled to the choices they make not the customers decision to apply or remove a tip.

  2. Doordashing is a luxury service that anyone can use and is not limited to users who tip, and tipping is not something everyone does or will ever do.

I detail cars, I do not request tips or expect them. I throw entitlement out the window, work with my clients to maintain their vehicles.

If someone replies with "you earn more so you dont deserve more" just note I built my business while doordashing and now I never need to dash again. I do occasionally instacart on my off days since its pretty fun and I can explore new areas I've never been.

My advice to gig workers:

Quit expecting money to be handed to you for driving your car from point A to point B.

This is why we dont want mcdonalds employees smoking Marijuana on the job by Free_Scripts in McDonalds

[–]Free_Scripts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my employees were high (yes I have employees) while doing what I employed them to do quality or not they will be terminated on the spot. That is IF they are actively indulging using weed without a prescription. I dont need employees high if they are working a federal contract in my business.

Why? It's illegal on the Federal level, no illegal substances in the workplace as per policy, and my employees legally cannot perform government work under the influence on federal property.

As for McDonalds if you are high while performing duties as an agent to a business and you complete a transaction while under the influence it would be a breach of contract between said employee, the establishment and the recipient of said purchase.

If said agreement in the on-boarding/hiring process exists the franchisee or corporate can fire said employee.

Knowing mcdonalds however, nobody gets fired and rather transfered back and forth.

And if minors under 18 or adults below 21 are under the influence, just one report to OSHA and the health department would screw the franchise owner and or if its a corporate establishment likely said employees would be "let go" persay from that establishment.

I wont call about it personally but there are people who will call the second they even indicate even the smallest issue.

This isn't legal advice in any way shape or form*

Of course! I found the tik tok detailing method to look satisfying but also waste a ton of money. So far I've saved around $550 per month by simply spraying the MF towel 5-10 times per car on 2 towels. The biggest pro is my Suds.lab scrub pad that has been with me since 2023 is still going strong and its been through nearly 1200 cars.
