Ram Laramie Longhorn Leather
Dreamworkz posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I recently pruchased a 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn EcoDiesel about a month ago and I have to say, it is one of the best trucks have have ever driven in my life. Selling points on it were the EcoDiesel and the MPG's and the interior. The interior is the brown saddle bag leather and it's awesome and has the exact smell of saddle leather. But my main question is, is Adams Leather & Interior Cleaner and Leather conditioner safe for my leather interior that I have where I don't have to worry about it discoloring or any other thing? Of course on the tag that was on the truck it states "use a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and mild soap." Of course I'm against using and type of soaps on leather because it will dry it out. I figured I would come on here and ask the question and not on the Ram forums because I only use Adams products and do not want to use any other product. Thank you!! ~Nick~ -

Possible Career Change NEED HELP
Dreamworkz posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
A little back story, I won't try to make this a novel. I've been working for a property management company for 20 years now and love the job and the perks that come with it. Last year I thought I would've had the chance of buying the company from my boss, but a friend of mine got it before me. Now that friend is my boss. It's not so bad, but I feel that I should getting paid more for what I have and been doing for the company. I've been getting paid the same amount for over six years now and been askig for a raise for quite some time, but it's just not cutting it eventhough the company pays for my cell and health insurance. I do more of the grunt work for the company than I do of the logistics (i.e. talking to customers, putting in bids, etc.) I take care of getting equipment to and from properties, making sure employees are doing what they are supposed to, making sure the job is getting done right and efficently, things like that. Love my job, but like I said, my pay isn't showing it. Now, on top of that, I have a little side business. Dream Workz Automotive Detailing. Granted, it's not an "officiall" business, but it does bring in some money. You could call it a hobby, because the money I get from it, I'll spend it on detail products here at Adam's of course. I mainly have done friends and family vehicles, and on a rare occasion a person that heard from word of mouth. I love doing it because of the satifaction I get when I see the customers eyes when they see their vehicle from when they had it to after I get done with it. Okay, now on to something that may change my life and my families. I got a message on Facebook from a guy who owns a mechanic shop in the cities and it was out of the blue. He saw my work with Dream Workz and was very impressed. His shop works on BMW, Range Rovers, Astin Martins, Ferrari's, Benltey's, etc. High end vehicles. On top of that business he has a detailing business detailing the said cars and more. Both are very successful, but the detailing business isn't really a company, it's a "doing business as" the mechanic company. He wants me to come in and restructure the detailing company to the way he forsees it and how I think it should be via marketing and possibly expanding it. Right now there is only one guy doing the detailing, answering customer calls and concerns, and making appointments as well. So I would be basically doing the logistics and detailing on top of it and possibly being co-owner of the detailing company. Mind you, before yesterday, this guy (the business owner) and I have never met. He seems like a really nice, down to earth person that I could possibly see being a partner with. But... I have been running these ideas in my mind and wanting to try and get a grip on what I want/should do to better my life and more importantly my family since I have a wife and a 5 year old sons. My family comes number one in my life and I really want to provide and set them up with a life that they can enjoy and have fun. Right now, we are struggling to make ends meet due to the fact that it's the off season for my current job and my wife isn't making as much as she was. We eventually want to buy our own home and get out of renting, which we have been doing for the past 5 years. I just want to get everyones opinion on this. Should I stay at my current job that is stable and in hopes of getting a pay raise to what I should be getting in the next few years. Or, should I take a risk, quit that job and take the reins of the detailing company and make it bigger without knowing if and when I will have money coming in to support my family and I. That is one thing that I haven't discussed with the mechanic owner is money. It's a lot to think about since this is huge for me. Let me know and thank you for reading and sorry it's so long. ~Nick -

I run a lawn care business and in the contract it states that we cannot be on the property before 7am either it being residential, commercial, or town home. Obviously this is during the week days. Dream Workz Auto Detailing using Tapatalk
