I have two questions pertaining to Pro Mobile Detailing that are otherwise unrelated, but I thought I'd ask together and get Mr. Superior Shine or others to fill me in.
1. Water Softening/Deionization
I've read the recent posts about this topic, but most solutions are small capacity, residential solutions. I fill a 150 gallon tank increasingly more and more. I have contacted a treatment facility in Knoxville that offers SDI tanks and I'm waiting for a response.
Joe (and others), what do you use in filling your tanks? How much water do you go through in a week? Any other useful info? I'd prefer not to change filters/recharge every time I turn around.
2. Hiring/Paying employees
God has certainly blessed my labors and I am in the process of looking for someone to work with me PT for now, but hopefully FT by summer. I am doing a 33 ft. camper on Friday and have a friend coming along. I figure I can show him as we go as this won't require extensive training.
Finding someone shouldn't be a problem. My question is more about pay. What have you found in your experience to work best? Hourly or per job? Either way, what amount or % do you pay typically? Does that amount change if you send the person out on a job without you as opposed to just working with you?
If hourly and the person rides with me to a job rather than meeting me there, should they be paid for ride time or strictly work time? Most people aren't paid riding to and from work, but this is a little different. I want to do what's right/fair for all parties.
Any other help is greatly appreciated. I look forward to your responses!
