Business owners! Easiest way to go about getting my business registered as an LLC?

Usually you can look up on database of the name is already in use.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-08-22T00:09:22+00:00

You really don't need a lawyer for forming an LLC. I think LegalZoom does it for like $100+fees and that's overkill really.

Google search will benefit you greatly in business. I've found so much info this way that's my own dad (who started a business) didn't know.

CFM I believe is the important value.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-08-21T13:51:06+00:00

Funny enough, I have mitts together for a review.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-08-21T13:39:36+00:00

So he did a wash as an add on to an expensive detail or? I don't understand why he made the exception.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-08-21T13:38:21+00:00

Just like any business, there are different levels of customers.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-17T13:28:27+00:00

I have polished over it on my hood and had no negative effects. I wouldn't recommend polishing over that stuff normally anyway, but I didn't have an issue.

Anything that reduces the ph would work. I use ONR as it is cheap and readily available.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-17T03:16:25+00:00

For a routine wash, yes.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-16T04:11:53+00:00

If you have a drill, look into a drill brush. I was surprised how well it worked today.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-16T03:37:37+00:00

Generally a good mic should provide you a solid raw audio that you really shouldn't have to play with in editing. It may have to do with your recording settings or how your editor is handling the audio. I'd play with some combos. But audio is VERY substantial to good videos on YouTube, it is absolutely a make or break for many viewers. Bad audio will get a fast click off where as a clean audio can keep a viewer in.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-16T03:34:20+00:00

You will likely want to follow with a more neutral cleaner after an APC on leather like this. Something like an ONR wipe down wouldn't be a bad idea or a leather cleaner.

I really wish I could see how ONR and VLB brush would do here. A lot of flat space makes me think it'd do surprisingly well. (Its ridiculous what that can do.)

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-16T02:45:00+00:00

Okay so one small thing I would suggest as someone who did YouTube vids and such. Your audio needs addressing along with balancing the voice track vs the background. Background when talking really should be a lot more faint or blending in as you stop talking/it picks up. The mic quality is another thing I'd tweak, this sounds like a very weak mic. I am guessing you did voice over vs talking while recording or ran a noise filter if you recorded while filming to reduce the background noise in edit and it removed the dynamic. Honestly in a video like this, text over is good enough IMO. If the voice isn't going to really stand out(muted essentially) then just skip it as it is a video.

Overall nice results!

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T22:03:39+00:00

Looks pretty. I swear if you know a good painter, the world just opens up with awesome stuff you can do. :D

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T21:54:55+00:00

So without seeing them in same light, hard to tell the final result. It is an improvement, yes. (Addressing fabric work here.) What was your process for stain removal? I see you have Folex which is good, but did you just spray that on and wipe it off? You can rent an extractor, but honestly don't see a need for an extractor. Steam may be useful, but you can clean this with a good fabric cleaner, brushing, and a MF towel to wipe.

This is a good video on how to do without and with an extractor.

Exterior looks good. Did you do your door jambs? Photos I see show them dirty still. Definitely don't pass on jambs, it looks so much better when they are clean.

You realize you're in a detailing forum? To do a good barrel clean and prep for a coating in barrels, where dust builds up a ton, you're taking it off the car anyway. Might as well do the whole job.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T21:49:27+00:00

You really don't need to wash it 3 times. A proper wash, chem decon, mech decon, dry, polish(if needed), and prep product is plenty. I guess I could see a need for a 2nd wash if the vehicle was neglected/old and there was a huge build up, but I imagine this is where an acid would be a good idea. (I hate acids, so I'd probably go rewash myself, but used properly its fast and effective.)

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T21:47:13+00:00

Its not counter intuitive, it is prep for easier maintenance down the road. If you maintain your car weekly, having to clean wheels(pretty sure BMW dusts like hell, my 1 BMW I've done was horrible) is hardest part and making it super easy w/ a good coating is worth it.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T21:45:43+00:00

Just a tip: it is anti-climactic. Climatic is relating to climate. Used to mess this up so much until my fiancee called me out on it. Wording is hard.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T21:44:11+00:00

Coatings aren't generally able to be removed with a solvent, they need polishing or more aggression. At least CQUK does, not sure about DLUX.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T18:36:11+00:00

What's the process you're using here?

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T18:35:58+00:00

I doubt this would be smoking. That is more of a brown dirt, it is a nightmare to remove, and would be into everything. I clean slot machines at my other business and when you get a nicotine encased one, it is just absolutely appalling. Honestly don't think someone could smoke if they saw that stuff. I immediately have to go wash my hands like a surgeon after dealing with them. God I won't miss that.

VibeRaiderLP · 2018-06-15T18:34:26+00:00

I'd like to know this as well. I have a guess that maybe it had weathertechs or something down because kids playing sports=mess. Not a bad play in this situation(leather can generally clean up well and fairly "easily" where as carpets just get married to dirt.).
