Anonymous: I read this book in two days and it is filled with some of the most informative information needed to successfully run a detailing business. This books shares the author's personal experience as well as some of his friends. It answers almost every question someone would have about detailing. It really helped me put things into perspective and plan accordingly. If you are looking for great information, then this is your book. If you are looking for a fairytale this is not your book because the TRUTH is what is shared with passion and clarity. This should definitely an initial investment for all looking to enter the detailing business because it explains all of the successes and pitfalls that one may encounter.

Tirzah M. McPherson: This book is jam packed but almost a little too much. It's tough to get through... HOWEVER I give it four stars because there's a lot of good business insight that is just generally good as well as insight specific to detailing. My suggestion, skim the table of contents, highlight and read the parts that interest you first and then as you continue or start your business start keep this as a good reference manual (your guide on the side). If you attempt to read it cover to cover like a novel you'll burn out... the info inside is really good so just adjust how you approach it as a resource and you'll get a lot out of it.

Rudy: I am college student who wants to start a detailing business to help pay my books and tuition and as a stepping stone into a bigger business and decided to go with Renny. I heard from him from Autogeek.net and from Mike Phillips (also recommend him and his book). I have limited detailed experience. Before I found about Renny and Mike I was learning here and there from neighborhood detailers and car washes. Some of them were good detailers but really lacked the business part of it. Other just plain sucked I mean the guys at the car washes did not even know the difference between a cleaner wax and a wax. Yeah that bad. Anyways, after reading Renny's book it amazed me how much quality information it has. From marketing, sales, detailing, laws, and equipment, and a little more. There are some parts that I think he should of gone more into detail or expanded more and provided some links. However, he exposes everything a person needs in order to become successful. Overall, it is a real good book and tells a reader to always do quality work. I was really impressed with his book that I want to learn about steaming cleaning and train with him. I like how he teaches you about having a good,...

M. Bennett: Rather basic and full of padding. There are so many 'Make a Million' books which are all quite interesting, but leave you feeling like there's nothing more than the basics being discussed and with half an hour to think about, it would be pretty obvious.

I was hoping for some in-depth hints and tips, but really there aren't many, if any. it is basically, just another how to start and run a fledgling business and you could take out 'Car Detailing' and put in any words you like really. I had hoped for just a tiny handful of insights that I may never have thought of.

If your business fails it will probably be your fault for not being focussed, driven and committed enough - If it succeeds, well, I don't think it will be because of this book.

I valeted my first ever car in 1982 - That was before it was referred to as detailing. I do know that of which I speak.

Andy: I bought this book a month ago.
I am a life long detailer, Let me tell you - even if you know how to clean a car and think you already have what it takes it will put your business in overdrive. It has opened my mind to many things - like how to outline a business plan, approach a potential client and representing my local detailing business.
I also like the easy reading - you can pick a topic of your specific needs at any time in your life and read there. I also don't just read the book and put it on a shelf, but use this book as a daily guide and it never gets put away! If your detailing adventure would ever fail it wouldn't be because you didn't have the keys to success.
Because I already have a passion for detailing I love this book.
If you need passion - it will create that fire within you!
