    You ever go down to the used car lot and see those "Maroni" labels (make, model, price, options) and buyers guides on the windows of their cars?

    We started that service 8 years ago, and has morphed into Internet site setup, photos, online inventory, carpet covers, carpet dye, burn repair, trim restoration, headlight resurfacing, "dealer-installed swirl mark removal", (I love that one, especially when they have me do it out back my the "detail" dept. The wash monkeys just scratch their heads in wonder LOL!) and other services, too.
    That morped into the retail market about 3 years ago. d

    As for me... I`m a full time ladies man. Keeping the ladies happy is an all day and all night kind of job. I don`t really have time for steady work because it interferes with my primping time. A mullet like mine takes a lot of time to keep maintained. However, since I can`t afford to keep myself burried in detailing products and take care of the ladies at the same time, I do sometimes go to work. Read my profile for what my actual job is. :naughty

    When I am working it`s respectable enough. Kinda the `business up front` part. I prefer to live the `party in the back` as often as possible. The party in the back has lead to some interesting interoffice rumors that I can rarely deny. :naughty Like Nick, I`m waiting to be accepted at law school mainly because brainy chicks are H-O-T-T-I-E-S! After law school I might go to medical school so I can find a lady who knows `all` the right moves when playing doctor. :naughty We`ll see how law turns out first.

    I`m an IT Operations Supervisor, MCSE Certified Systems Administrator, Computer Programer, professional detailer, Global Computer Engineer, and all around good guy. Spent the last 15 years in Information Technology. BTW: I`m burned out. I was recently release due to outsourcing and after 5 months have a new prespective job after Easter.

    Did I mention the side cash I was making detialing. This is my passion and as soon as I get a client base established I would love to leave corporate america behind. That`s a short term goal.
    The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price.

    Senior Network Engineer. But Detailing is a lot more fun also less work and more gratifying.

    Great job Dude I`ve lost 40 since the 1st and want another 20. I was a catagory 3 rode cyclist for 3 years in my early 30`s. I`m now 49 and looking at racing again this spring/summer. I`ve been rising about 25 miles a day 5 to 6 days a week and weigth training. I`m also married and have been for 11 years. Keep up the great work!

    Thanks Beemerboy. I have been on the South Beach diet. I want to lose another 30 or so. This would put me back to High School/College weight. I blew up after I got married. You know how that goes I guess. 10 year is in July and we are going to Vegas to renew with Elvis!
