    Well, I decided to just spend an insane amount of money on detailing gear, so I gave Pirex a little order to play with.

    Or, to put it another way: me and my neighbour have scheduled to open our brand new detailing business this weekend. Wishing for nice weather, and many interested (potential) customers!:shrug:

    So: here are some products Pirex got me to start off with, plus some more:

    I hope so. It`s definately a bit scary, since the market for detailing in this country, especially this region is very narrow...
    But, looking at the growth in interest around detailing over the past year, I truly believe this is a good time to start. Yes, we start small, but hope to advance, as all businesses do!

    Ooh that is a great size shop you guys are starting off with, nothing wrong with that. I really like the shelves too :thumb:

    As the products that's is a wicked collection so far, but just you wait...you'll order more and more and more and more and...well soon you'll run out of room :giggle:

    As for starting small, everything has to have a start. If you don't start you just never know...I mean just look at this forum for example, when it started it only had maybe 4 to 5 members and look at it now :thumb:

    The key to detailing is doing the best job you can and puring your heart to each vehicle you detail, spend the appropriate time required to do the job right and dont settle for second best aim for the moon when you detail...well at least that's what I do.

    Worth of mouth is by far the best advertising you will get, well at least that's what I've noticed.

    Wish you nothing but the best to all of you :peace:

    great start! I love those "junkers" in the yard, personally I would keep them there

    Thanks, I just love the scenery out here.
    Informed you shall be! :thumb:

    Thank you :)

    Yeah, the shelves are something we got for almost free, so it`s ok for now.
    As for the collection, it will be expanded in time, but first we need to see a certain cashflow, unless we just want a big personal collection for our selves :giggle:

    I like to think that my heart lies a little more in the job itself, than the actual profit, even though we always want to make money. I don`t know, but I doubt other detailers round here (at least in this region) have acounts on 3-4 different detailing forums around the world:headbang:
    So, in the beginning, it will take the time it takes to get the job done, because, as you so well put it: word of mouth is THE best advertisement in such small communities as we have here in Norway.

    Thank you, Nica:applause2:
    The yellow one is a 1991 S2 (that won`t start...), the other one is an old beater 1987 80 B3, that`s correct:thumb:

    Yeah, can`t complain as for the space. It fits two cars at once, hopefully it will be put to full use!

    Thanks!
    Hehe... I like junkers too, but they don`t belong to us, and they literally look like crap...
    Plus, the "city council" has decided to clear out as much of such garbage as possible. Just as well, since it`s very close to "downtown".

    Thank you :)



    But some items are still missing, such as a paint gauge, Menzerna 106FF and some more from CG (I think).
    Pirex is in charge of achieving this too :worship2:
