Curated by: Old School Auto Upholstery Techniques (419 videos)
In this Sunday Mailbag episode, we're cutting through the noise of the billion-dollar care product industry and discussing why "diversifying" is the secret to a profitable upholstery business. Topic 1: The Care Product "Scam" Stop wasting your money on expensive silicon-based cleaners and conditioners. I explain why most of these products actually harm your materials in the long run by plugging pores and causing cracks. You’ll learn the "old school" secret to making your dash and seats last years longer using nothing more than a damp cloth and some simple sun protection. Topic 2: Why You Should Never Turn Down a Job From million-dollar show cars to everyday wheelchair cushions—money is money. I share why specializing can actually limit your income and why those "quick in-and-out" small jobs are often more profitable than massive, weeks-long restorations. In this video, we cover: The truth about silicone-based "protectants" and planned obsolescence. Why a simple bath towel is better than a $15 bottle of cleaner. Adhesion promoters vs. Acetone: Why the old way still wins. How to keep your shop's cash flow moving by saying "yes" to every project. The reality of "pride" in the shop vs. actual profit.
