Hi Matt,

I was thinking of doing the echo and was wondering if you've had experience with Finish Kare Paint Decontamination System? I was browsing the ZAS site and stumbled upon this 3-step decon system?

In the description it says this kit is capable of removing paint decontamination beyond what washing and claying is capable of. Does this mean I wont have to use claybar at all?

Thanks, hope alls well at your end.

Hello Mate

The Finish Kare system is what I started with earlier this year. Its a great system
you still need to use a clay block but you should not get very much or any contamination (turns block a orange/yellow colour. My Atomic is more advanced than that but is still being perfected and beta tested by the two guys right here whom I trust the most.

ZAS is one of my product suppliers.

hello all

Well time has come to change the business name to something more modern and catchy
Before I get signage on the building, new business cards and work shirts/promotional items, a new name needs to be made

So guys what do you recommend

here are some great names in other industries

Autumn Leaves - gardener and landscaping
Well hung exhausts

I think approaching it from a non-gimmicky avenue is the way to go. You want potential clients to see you are serious about what you do, and choosing the right name that will promote your Intensity, Flair and Passion for detailing is the persona you want to elude to.

Inspired Excellence Auto Refinishing
Visionary Perfection
Flawless Perception automotive re-finishers
Inspirational Developments (considering your product marketing side with this one)
Pure Perfection
Fantasy Auto Re-finishers

Just a few to think about Matty

They may be a little gimmicky but those sort of names are relatively easy to remember for the verage person, Perenial Paint Protection can always be shortened to PPP. :)

I do like a few of the ones you came up with Shav :)

That wasn't a personal dig at you Papa Smurf. Sorry if it came across that way. Just making a statement in general. Some of the names you came up with are very good and worth considering. Just thought I'd state that sometimes making up names that sound 'corny' are not the way to go about it. e.g. 'razzle dazzle detailing' or 'shineys car correction' or something to that extent. Sounds a bit 'cheap' and 'cliche' in my opinion, but it's Matt's choice in the end.
