Read back on your questions and you will find I gave my time freely to answer them correctly. Then all you can do is insult me, thanks.

Detailing is indeed hard work and not a good hourly rate compared with having 3 or 4 windshields all repairing at the same time. Can you earn $150 per hour detailing, no of course not.

I have done far more in my life than those few things I listed. I bid you farewell and will not bother answering your questions again, unless I feel that to do so will benefit others.

Well, I guess you should tell us how you approached this repair. Popping a star repair might help open some legs but it's still a star repair and not a bullseye which may require prob flexing to open up the star legs. What did your CD or Video training tape tell you? Not much, I would imagine!

Hobby or not, please seek some professional training. You will benefit from it greatly in a short matter of time.

Good Luck!

Oh, one other thing to mention. When I first started in this biz I owned a full service shop. We provided glass replacement and repair, auto detailing, auto electronics, window tint and other. I also built race cars from ground up and raced them for 15 years.

2 years into my business I realized my windshield repairs weren't any better then my competition. That's when I spent the extra money to be professional trained to become better. That decision has paid off ever since.

Just like Screenman, I have trained many others to succeed in this business. The people I've trained payed me up to $300 a day, sounds expensive but you know what? They are all doing well. Because they do things right.

ok,i saw on you tube by expert villege the guy says you should always pop a bullseye to connect the cracks.i know! i should'nt listen to you tube!.but i'm new. i have tried it that way and it seems to work but that is why i asked [ i quess a stupid question]. the dvd just shows how to pressure,vaccuum 3 or 4 times pit fill and cure for a bull. a star drill,pressure,vacuum 3 times on the 4th pressure put pressure on the legs to flow the resin in pit fill and cure. is that just the basics or is there more to it? like different tricks like heating around the tips to flow the resin in.i will get some training.i'm looking at the delta training. i don't mean to sound like a dk head,but when i'm pushed i push back.thanks for the nice reply

I highly recommend the Delta Kits training. All of your questions, and many more which you have yet to ask, are addressed in the training. Its a friendly, hands on program led by experts. You'll have the opportunity to work on most of the types of damage you will encounter once you are out making repairs.

Good luck!
