Reclaim Equipment Detailing Industry and NPDES, EPA, Storm Water Rules
It behooves every professional mobile auto detailer to stay up with the reclaim equipment necessary to comply with the NPDES, EPA and storm water rules. Every company has a responsibility to not pollute the water supplies. If you are an auto detailer perhaps I might be able to assist you in complying without breaking your bank. There are inexpensive ways to keep your waste wash water out of the storm drains. The Detail Guys, my company, has been forced to upgrade our units to comply with the latest 2003 EPA Rules to insure clean waterways. As the workload of our franchisees and team members increases, we have upgraded our systems requirements to include larger reclaim tanks and new vacuum units. Our newest approved "Polypropylene" Tank for reclaim has double the capacity. They are made from a high tech polymer designed for durability and long life with increased UV protection to prevent algae growth and bacteria from forming inside. These tanks will be painted with special paint "Detail Guys Blue" very similar to "Sapphire Deep Sky Blue" a color used on a few exotics in England. It is smart to use opaque tanks for reclaim so you do not end up growing black algae inside due to the sunlight. For more ideas on water reclaiming you may wish to go to our website to get ideas for your auto detailing business. www.DetailGuys.com We have also been working with two other companies on reclaim devises to round out the latest and greatest technologies. One out of San Diego and another out of West San Fernando Valley also in CA. We are raising the bar in this industry when it comes to environmental compliance and eco-system security so that our future generations can live healthy with the cleanest water. We can show you easy ways to comply with these laws without spending a small fortune, although we do not sell the equipment, we do know all the best vendors and where to get the best deals. There are many entries in the Bible (12 that we found), which describe our duty to protect what God has created for us. We believe this is the least we can do with such an ominous gift. You might want to think on this. "Lance Winslow" - If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs

Your franchise agreement's term expires in the near future and you are contemplating whether renewing the agreement would be a wise business decision.

Many people learn from their life experience to pace themselves, consume vitamin-rich foods, exercise and get sufficient sleep(at least 6-7 hours in every 24 hr. period). But while these steps are vital at every stage of life, they are even more crucial you first launch your business because the mental and physical strains are most severe during this time frame.

But a work-from-home business will generally demand a broader spectrum of responsibilities than that. Much like a movie actor who decides to direct the film as well, the home-based business entrepreneur must rise to the occasion, and often with their life savings on the line and very few benefits.
