    this is what I call cheap overhead.

    I recently coverted my garage into a detail shop so some of my clients can also bring their vehicle to me if they want to. I've run my mobile company for 11 years and let me tell you it has been alot of fun doing some jobs indoors. This Porsche is 10 years old and its a daily driver. The clear coats pretty tired but it came out nice. The last pic is of me and Jaime from Meguiars. He came out and did some training with me when I switched over to Meguiars products - we had a great time and may I say these last 6 months that I have been using Meguiars it has took my work to new levels. In my opinion Meguiars when used with the correct process is superior to any other product.

            most of them came from Auto Detailing Solutions in Az. you spend a certain amount ($700.00) and you get on their plan which you receive all those wall banners and brochures, mirror hangers, etc. Thanks for the comments.

              I have a question for you. I have a detail shop now but I am looking to by a home in the next town over from it. I wanted to do a similar thing and have a detail shop in my home garage. I was wondering if your property was zoned commercially and if not do you get hassle from neighbors or the town for running a detail business out of your home? Thanks, and nice garage by the way!

                  Very nice, clean, organized garage. I love everything about it. Great work on the Porsche. Needless to say, I'm jealous.
                  A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                      I live in a county area next to Ojai,Ca. which is outside Ventura - so needless to say my neighbors could care less what I do out of my garage - alot different than the city. I have a buisnees license to conduct work here so I asume there is no problem. Thanks for the comments.

                        SWEET garage!! Wow what an awesome set-up you have created! And it looks incredible being so clean and organized too. I bet there isn't a lot of basketball-playing going on while you are detailing hehe. The Porsche turned out great too!

                            You know, I think the only Meguiar's product that I'm missing is a Meguiar's training employee. Do they come in 64oz jugs? Do they consist of diminishing abrassives?
