Where Can I Get a Do-It-Yourself Car Washing Kit?

If you are a consumer who likes to wash their own car then you are probably in the market for a do-it-your car wash kit, yet it is so hard to find one these days. Sure Wal-Mart has something of this nature and so does K-Mart/Sears. Yet when looking at these we see that no one/company has truly captured the market. Why?

Well it seems that Mr. Clean has done an excellent job and maybe you have seen home wash kits often enough at major retailers. You know the; Bucket, soap, wash mitt, chamois. Perhaps you have sometimes also seen gift packs with wax too and applicator and tire dressing all in the bucket. Why have entrepreneurs not capitalized on this huge market of DIYs or Do-It-Yourselfers?

The trick is to keep the kit under $20.00 or $19.99 and such, this means that if you are not the manufacturer of all the products you must buy them and put them together and larger retailers will chisel you for price point. In other words you sell to them for $8-9.00 and the retail is $19.99 so the question is can you put all that into a bucket that itself costs $.88 each, shrink rap it with advertising label and put all those contents into it for $4 to $5.00 so that you can sell them to the major retailers at $9.00 to $11.00?

Well those are my thoughts on this subject, by the way, I agree with what you are thinking for the most part as just the other day I was looking for a Do-It-Yourself Automotive Wash Kit. Indeed this article is meant to propel thought and perhaps it is of interest to you in 2007.

A-ha, Morten Harket: If you want to do something with me, ask me.mov

We were scared to death we would annoy Morten and he would run for his life, if we touched him or screamed. At 0:15 He looked down at me and said Hello! and smiled at me Wonder what was he thinking at that moment... Maybe he thought I was going to grab something I shouldn't ;-) Then at 1:15 I tell him: I need to wash my hand and I show it to him, still with his autograph intact! Then someone ask him about Chile, what is going to happen with the shows there. Everybody is really concerned about our brothers there. Their situation couldn`t be worse. Pray for Chile! Try to help them in whatever way you can. Then I run out of batteries, but I put new ones! if you want to, you can watch the rest at www.youtube.com Thank you for watching. Comments are really welcome. Cecilia, Uruguay

Help For the Feet and Hands - Healing the Damage

Your feet and hands are probably the most overworked parts of your body. Just think about how many times a day you need to walk somewhere, grab something or pick something up. Doing the "dirty work" means exposing the skin in these areas to harsh chemicals, rough materials and lots of grime and bacteria. Just think about everything your feet and hands go through every day and it is no wonder they can end up looking dry, wrinkled and neglected.

Take a Hands on Approach!

Dry and cracked skin is a common problem for many hands and feet because of the constant use and exposure to external factors (such as cold weather or chemicals). Simply washing the hands and drying them without providing extra care can be damaging as well because many soaps contain ingredients that will rob the skin of essential oils needed for good hydration (and good hydration means smoother skin).

A good moisturizer is the best defense against these problems because it will replace essential nutrients and oils to the body. Depending on the level of damage to the skin present, a heavier duty moisturizer may be required or it may simply take a few days to see real results. Rough skin (such as calloused palms) will benefit from a daily moisturizer as well since they are also designed to soften the skin.

Tidbit to Remember In some professions it is necessary to wash your hands several times throughout the course of the day. This constant washing will help sanitize the hands but will dry them out just as quickly. Carry a small travel sized lotion in your purse, pocket or even at your work station to apply following each wash.

Woe to the Foot

The feet are an area of the body that suffers from dryness, rough texture and calluses. Add these up and they may not be the most pleasing area of the body to look at and can lead to severe foot conditions over time. There are several ways to fight this damage and keep your feet looking fabulous for the next time you step out in flip flops!

Exfoliation and scrubs are great for combating those dry heels and callused toes. The build up of dead skin leads to wrinkles and rough textures so it is important to remove these useless cells regularly. Most scrubs should be used bi-weekly to monthly because over exfoliation can damage the skin as well. A good scrub will have a course texture and will typically leave the skin feeling refreshed after just one treatment (although several may be required to reverse all damage).

Lotion for......your feet? It is common practice to lotion the hands, face, arms and legs but do you ever stop to rub a little moisture on your toes? A simple daily moisturizer (many body lotions will work for this) can work wonders on rough and scaly skin that appears on your feet. Take a minute in your daily routine to refresh the feet and offer them some relief. Some foot moisturizers contain special ingredients that will help soothe aching feet while hydrating as well.

Never forget that your entire body is covered with skin and although different areas may require different types of care, neglecting any portion of the body is a bad practice. Your skin does show much to protect your body it is time to return the favor by protecting the skin with a few easy steps. Most treatments require only minutes to complete and can do wonders in smoothing texture, improving tone and reversing the effects of age on the body. Try showing your feet and hands a little love and appreciation for a job well done today!

Is Your Shampoo Safe - What Ingredients Are You Using to Wash Your Hair?

Anyone who bathes and wants their hair cleaned uses shampoo. Some shampoos promise your long flowing hair while others make sure that your hair is glowing. These are wonderful sales talk and most people are vain enough to be drawn into it. However, only a few people know that these shampoos have ingredients that are risking their very health every time they use it.

Most people do not look at the back of one's shampoo where all different kinds of ingredients are listed. There is various research that has shown that your everyday shampoo have various chemicals in them that could cause serious risks in your health, such as memory loss, eye irritation, skin irritation, hair loss and even cancer.

Here are the most common ingredients of a shampoo that can give you health risks and what those health risks are:

1. Fragrances used in shampoo contain a number of chemicals and most of them cause headaches and rashes. Some can even induce coughing and vomiting to a person.

2. Propylene glycol causes allergies. This ingredient can also be found in your everyday toothpaste.

3. Sodium lauryl sulfate can cause asthma attacks. This ingredient also damages a person's hair follicles which can lead to hair loss for some. They are also known for irritating a person's eyes.

4. Diethanolamine can cause liver and kidney cancer. This ingredient can also be toxic to one's brain.

Maybe you are wondering how these shampoos still stay in the market even if it has been proven to cause these kinds of health risks. The regulatory authorities on these kinds of things does not investigate spends most of their time researching prescription drugs . Meanwhile, shampoos, which can readily be bought in a supermarket can be forgotten and ignored.

Researchers of National Institute of Health have directly found a relation between shampoos and damage in the nervous system. These researchers are concerned of possible health risks (especially nervous system disorders) due to continued use of certain shampoos .

This effect is due to the chemicals preventing neurons from communicating with each other, resulting in the slowing of these networks of neurons. These slowing of neurons will cause problems and prevent normal brain functions.

Another research done by scientist about these chemicals found out that there are synthetic chemicals that disrupt hormones. These chemicals, since they are used daily, never go away cause your endocrine glands to stop functioning.

The endocrine glands regulate every body function. The thyroid, pituitary, pancreas, ovaries and testes are all part of this system and all of them are linked to the brain's hypothalamus. The chemicals found in shampoos are acting as endocrine disruptors and causes your body to send false signals to these glands. These false signals will cause serious problems such as memory loss, cold, flu, hair loss, low blood pressure, malnutrition, heart disease, cancer and can even cause infertility. These are just a few and do not even take into consideration other diseases they could get due to lowered body resistance.

These malfunctions of the body organs can be deadly and costly for consumers. Without knowing about it, they are the ones that put themselves in this predicament. Most people do not know about these chemicals they just keep using on their head that can cause them more harm than good.

The best way to protect one's self against these chemicals is to read all the ingredient found in their shampoos and study about them. Study the side effects these chemicals could cause your body.

Mobile Car Wash Arrangements at Corporations

When a new entrepreneur sets out into the mobile car wash business they often wonder how they should go about arranging exclusivity to wash at large corporations or office buildings. One question that is often asked is; "Do I have to pay for the rights to provide your car wash service there?" truly you would be advised to do this as a last resort you should attempt to shy away from this really. In fact you would be well advised to not mention such things. Although it is not totally uncommon in the industry, you will find that the amenities you provide for their employees far surpasses their small earnings from a percentage of your gross take or a few dollars per car.

Now with that said, there are some instances it does make a lot of sense for instance it the Corporation or building gives you something in return. For instance if they provide you Assigned stalls to work in, water outlets, reclaim clarifier area, email alerts to tell people we are there, collects money for us and takes their percentage out. Then it could make sense. Also if you are in markets where lots of payola goes on such as CT, NJ, PA, TX, NV it might be required, but generally if this is the case you will know soon enough up front, as the owner or controller of such properties will say straight up; "What is in it for us or What is in it for me?

Sometimes if a parking garage company or a valet service is involved then it does make sense to use their ability to sign up your customers and pay them a commission. Think on this.

Mobile Car Wash Business in Sparks, Reno, Spanish Springs and Fallon, NV - Is it a Viable Market?

Have you been considering opening a mobile car washing or detailing business in Northern Nevada, it is a relatively untapped market worthy of your attention. Not long ago an emailer asked about the potential of starting such a business in Northern Nevada in the Sparks-Reno Area. And asked what I thought about the potential there? Here is my reply:


I see you have contacted us for information on the Mobile Car Washing Industry and below is the information you have provided. I see you are in the Reno-Sparks Area and just out of the Military and wonder if this is a possible new career for you? Reno is a good market for this type of business and although there is a little competition, not nearly as much as in the Southern Nevada market in Las Vegas or over the hill in Sacramento.

One thing that might be of interest is that the City of Sparks has some NPDES permits that they enforce vigorously and you will need to invest in a reclaim system, block off storm drains when working, and remove the wash water waste affluent. Spanish Springs near Sparks sure grew up fast and that too is a decent market for both mobile car washing and detailing.

Indeed, there is also lots of growth in Fallon, Nevada too now, perhaps worth a day a week on your over all route? Maybe even a jaunt out to Carson City might make sense, lots of customers there as well. Yes, one could build a nice business there. Although the weather can be an issue in Wintertime, it is still doable as the snow makes a mess of everyone's car. Thus, I give a two-thumbs-up to the Northern Nevada Market and recommend it as a great place to run such a business.

No Justice

The US Navy is allowing a priceless collection of captured antique bronze cannons to disintegrate before their eyes at their oldest base, in Washington DC, the Washington Navy Yard. What can we do about it? Springfield Arsenal LLC has tried for nearly a year to get something started with the Navy to at least halt the ongoing destruction of these cannons, It may be time for new approaches, such as writing our elected representatives. Ultimately of course, the cannons aren't the Navy's personal property to neglect as they see fit, they belong to the American people, and I know many of those people agree with us that such irreplacable items deserve much better care. ____________________ I've been watching the fine bronze cannons at the Washington Navy Yard deteriorate for about 30 years. This rare, fragile specimen, cast in 1686, is showing a lot of pitting, delamination, and general corrosion from the elements. I've asked the Navy if they couldn't move this one particularly fragile specimen indoors. They replied that they chose to leave all the guns outside, and have done nothing I can see to protect them in the ten months since I corresponded with them. This made me wonder if there wasn't some law or regulation which requires government employees to at least attempt to mitigate damage to historical property when they are aware it is occurring. Does anyone know if there is such a law, regulation, or requirement "on the books" anywhere? The slideshow linked below shows the ...

How Has the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Affected Popular Beach Cities?

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has been prevalent in the news all summer long. Residents might wonder how this catastrophe, also referred to as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, is affecting their favorite vacation spots. Since Sanibel Island is obviously a beach city and part wildlife refuge, this is surely one of the most important destinations in southern Florida.

What affect has the oil spill had on Sanibel? Royal Shell Vacations, which is Sanibel Island, Florida and Captiva Island's premiere vacation rental firm, recently reported that there is no oil evident anywhere near the beaches of the island. As a precaution the company announced a beach watch to assure residents and visitors that the beaches would continue to be oil free throughout the summer. In fact, the company is so dedicated to resident satisfaction that it is offering a special refund policy on its vacations if any oil does wash up onto the beaches.

Sanibel Island hotels and Island restaurants are still operating normally, as are Sanibel events in the area. What about the reports of "dark-colored clumps of algae?" This is not actually related to the oil spill. Beachgoers who have noticed these clumps are actually filamentous blue green algae broken off from submerged algal mats. The Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation stated that these clumps are not related to oil spills, nor are they harmful to the environment. These algal mats are often found in marine and freshwater conditions. These mats' suggested place of origin is the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River or even beyond.

While many people are fearing the repercussions of the oil spill, residents of Sanibel and Captiva, FL should be assured that the location is currently not threatened by the actions that took place primarily west of the state. This is important to realize, as some vacationers may be canceling plans to visit this Island, when in fact the beaches are just as beautiful and safe as ever.

Sanibel Island real estate has been increasing in value ever since the 2000 year. The median price of a house in the city is now just below $900,000, a 50% increase from ten years ago. This island city is an important part of the state's economy and a popular destination for both tourists and newly relocated career professionals. The beaches and wildlife refuges put Sanibel Island on the map. For more information about the beaches of Sanibel Captiva, visit the official city website.

Kampala and Kasubi Tombs - The Created Natural Wonders

Kampala City is located in Buganda Region though the current government want to seclude it from Buganda could be due to political climate in Uganda, but the real fact is under Buganda, geographically and historically. The City has many attractions, one of the them is Kasumbi tombs.

This is the place were fallen kings of Buganda called Kabakas are laid to rest. It is located in west of Kampala, Rubaga Division, it take about 5 minutes from down town Kampala to the tombs passing via the newly opened highway called the Kampala Northern Bypass. The tombs are regarded by the Baganda tribe as the major spiritual centre for burial of their kings.

Four successive Kabakas (Kings) of Buganda were buried in the same tomb house at Kasubi namely;
- Mutesa 1 (1835-1884)
- Mwanga 11 (1867-1903)
- Daudi Chwa (1896-1939)
- Sir. Edward Mutesa (1924-1969)

Kasubi Tombs have a unique architecture, large rounded thatched hut, very magnificent and currently considered as man made natural wonders of the world, could be compared with the Egyptian Pyramids Inside the tombs there are pictures of the four kabakas laid to rest rest, nice backcloth wall coverings, coloured weaved mats on the floor, it is so clean and peaceful, in the corner there is taxidermy leopard. This was a pet used by Kabaka Mutesa 1 and the myth behind the story is when the Kabaka Mutesa 1 died who was so close with the leopard became so abandoned and started becoming violent so it was put down and brought to the tombs.

Out side the huge tombs there are other small tombs thatched huts which are about 10 surrounding the major tombs, these were burial places of the kings wives but it is not known how many were buried in them as traditionally Kabakas were regarded to be polygamists.

Outside the gates of Kasubi tombs there are no much to offer such as nice restaurant, hotel or coffee shop even decent wash rooms. The closet places are Nakulabye, Mengo or when you take Northern By pass highway Kasumba Square could be the place to go for these lacking facilities. Kasubi tombs is worth a visit once you are in Uganda because it is historical and cultural.
