01.11.09 The New Year has been kind to us so far, besides the small stuff like flat tires and minor equipment repairs. We are thankful for your repeat clients and new clients. This morning we had  a flat tire and lost a client appointment, we have many things to work on but are willing to continue to learn and grow to give our customers the best service possible.

12.08.09 Finally moved into our new place.  With all the rainy and stormy weather it has given us a good reason to take a few days off and catch up. I forget how exhausting and stressful moving is.

11.18.09 We are so thankful for all of our clients and new clientele. We are properous even in this economy and we do not take anything for granted.

10.06.09 We are looking into waterless car washing. We hear alot of good and bad things about it. One good thing is that there is no water going down the drains. The Bad thing is that it is not really meant for really "dirty" cars. Most of our clients have just that. It works best I believe for everyday people who want to wash their cars without water. We are going to give it a good run and see what how it works before we dismiss. I like the idea and believe it is the way to go.

09.10.09 Busy week, trying to catch up since we lost a day! It was good to slow down this weekend but now it full speed. Back to business. All the parents seem a little happier now that the kids are back in school.

9.01.09 We are so glad it is finally starting  to cool down. The heat was hard to work in. It completely drains you. We had one of hardest weeks last week. It truly was a test of will power. 

8.19.09 Our powerwasher is officially broke. It broke slowly and painlessly. It gave us enough notice as least so we were able to purchase a new one in time for the new one to arrive. 

8.3.09 We just got back from celebrating Salomons birthday camping in Ojai, such a perfect weekend! We are working on getting our water reclamation system in place this week!

7.23.09 - We are working on building a new water reclamation system. It is harder than we originally thought. We are getting help from a Mobile  Detailing business from Oxnard. Our deadline to implement the system is getting closer, but I'm confident we will make it happen on time.

7.17.09 - We received our new carpet extractor and it works beautifully. It is so much better than our other one. It has been  a  hard week of waiting for the extractor to arrive and dealing with our car being broken down.

It's always something but we are always grateful for what we have and learn from what we have been through.

7.5.09 We are dealing with a consistent problem with our carpet cleaning machine. We are purchashing a top grade industrial one to replace our old one and sell it or throw it off a cliff (probably the later)

6.23.09 In this economy  people will still spend money on three things. Their Kids, Their Pets and Their Cars. These are their babies and they will anything to keep them happy because it make us feel good.

6.13.09 It is amazing how many people do not wash their cars for months. Their cars are coated with layers and layers of months of dirt and grime. Then they have us wash their car and they realize that they had a red car not a brown car.

I personally cannot stand having our cars dirty for more than a few days. Having a clean car just makes you feel good and proud of what your driving.
