Livin' in the big time

Detailing  in 2012  has never been better. Our business has exploded and summer time is coming. We are excited to be getting the cars and trucks you drive everyday looking good and maintaining the quality. We have a sweet new method of interior cleaning that rocks out and smells good when were done. We have fought with  cloth sport seating stains for quite some time and now we have the tricks out of the bag and using them to your advantage getting our seats and carpets cleaner than ever. We seem to be buffing allot lately  covering motor homes, boats, and ambulance's. High definition shine is what we do and covering so much ground we get hands on many different products and getting the best results for each application. We do test spots on all vehicles before we apply polish and sealant to see how to best meet that vehicle's needs.  Happy detailing to all...  Come see us at Shine and Shade here in Omak Wa or visit us on the web www.shineandshade.com

Paint correction on BMW

Before                                        After

Serious Paint correction on this BMW yesterday. I was amazed at how awesome the paint came back. I had to just quick post some pictures of the work. Busy season for us so check out the before and afters. Pass it on if you like. I love working with black. No other paint can look so bad but when cared for no other paint can even come close to the depth and shine. This kind of work is not for the beginner to be able to bring this back takes time and care as not to leave holograms.  Oh and the last pic is a lick of some of the work at hand. From left is a bass boat headed for the fishing tournament on Lake Osoyoos on Sat. Jeep for sale ( full detail) for today- 2011 Subaru for tint, Charger, (22" wheels) - and the BMW just completed. An Avalanche on its way for a full and a 2003 Subaru for the day as well. You think I need help? probably so!

May- Where did you come from? I have been so busy at my shop details are streaming through the door window tint is going on every new car we see and house tint? Picking up. What I wish we could sell more of is the Paint protection films. I absolutely am sold on the value and quality of the 3M film and how it can protect a vehicle.  We have put out some bids but not many sales in this little hick town of Omak. I have this product even on my 98 Chevy I installed it right over the rock chips that were already there. I did touch them up a bit before the install. Looks awesome. This month we are working on a 911 detail project detailing 6 ambulance's for local lifeline. These are hard work as they keep them washed up well but the road grime from the winter and all the high speed runs they make each day has taken a toll on the exterior's condition.  Even though I am a busy shop I always take time to research new products, marketing, and strategies on making our shop more advanced and cutting edge. www.shineandshade.com

Yesterday I was just doing a little mini golf. I love golf. We also are doing a Yukon XL from our spring special on our email newsletter. Free coffee with a full detail in the month of April. I am going to have to work to make money on this but isn't that word work go with any thing tied to the word money? At least I can enjoy my work and some day I will enjoy money in the bank but for now I feel like I'm just chasin payments. BTW this golf is for sale... Diesel, 05, 96K miles and you make and offer. Its not mine but I can connect you with the owners if your interested. Tonasket Wa is the place to be with spring popin out all over I love this place and I love summer so bring it on.

Satisfied with what you got

We have just got our steam cleaner back from a annual tune up and some other new tricks to pull out of the hat to make those water marks and coffee stains in your sport seating go away for good. Your car driving away clean will make you feel more successful and enjoy your investment. Instead of feeling like your car is falling apart and you've wasted your money. Honestly with my 98 Chevy I've owned for 12 years now- keeping it clean and in top shape really saves me money. Some times when I see a newer truck I get the fever... It's hard to understand that impulsive desire instilled in us by all the advertising and good deals on a car we don't have. If you pay close attention to your feelings and keep a tight grip on what you already have you will soon realize its not a new car that brings happiness but stability with less spending and drama. You will notice too that when shopping for a different car you get this gripping feeling once at a dealership that if you don't buy that vehicle today its the last good deal you'll find... do you really think so because next week when you buy it you'll notice another truck or car that really fits the need better and a better price tag attached. A salesmans job in any line of business is to paint you a picture that what you don't have will bring satisfaction and happiness. - NOT TRUE!! Success and happiness is found before you pursue your next goal whatever that may be. If you don't place this in proper order you will lead an unfulfilled and empty life. You may not even be aware of this state of mind because one can become accustomed to habit of always spending or having to go to the next event or get your next fix living for the weekend as some songs are written. What about today I love today as even I have to work. It's sad it took the first 10 years of my married life to see it this way. Now I will not look back and regret the past anymore... if I do I will miss out on today. Its called peace. The only way to find this stability and peace is Put God first, then your family and there needs and God will fill your needs with out you even trying to do it. See when we live for others then Gods in control and I don't have to look for my next blessing or purchase to make me happy He wants to give me good gifts. But if I put me first like so many people say then I look for my own satisfaction, selfish is the word.
