Big Strides

I've been at the Fort Lauderdale boat show setting up a small part of a booth. However, once again it made magic on a display on our neighbors display. Don't have much time now, I will try and get more Items posted.

Well, things are looking good. I heard from the Insurance company today of course not answer yet but they are looking for info.. Keep your fingers crossed, I am hoping to have an answer this week and start selling....

Friday Night first event

This past Friday night we went over to Lauderdale marine center for the Captain and crew boat show kick off party which was a fund raiser for a local charity. There was 6 of us there 5 in the New ZTuffStuff shirts. A lot of people asked why all the shirts? We told them we were asked to wear them and we got to keep the shirts... Since we could not sell any product and or show the product I just wanted to get the logo out. Party was a good time. Thanks Lauderdale marine center

It's coming along.

Well, It's Friday at 5 Pm. Another great day for me, however busy.. I was able to get a 55 gallon drum for a display at the Fort Lauderdale boat show.. Got my first couple of T-shirts printed for tonight party at the Lauderdale Marine center.. Got the finished verbiage off to the printer today for the Logo's and the business cards to the printers as well.

But the big new today !!!!

I went over to Mase Generators today with a friend to pick up my 55 Gallon drum I'm going to use in the Boat Show.. When we got there everyone was busy cleaning things up for the boat show as they will be in the show as well. They had two people working on the box truck cleaning it. John the office manager and I started talking (My friend worked for them) he told me that he had heard I was starting a new business and one of the things was this new Cleaner called ZTuffStuff.com. I told him yes and we spoke for a little bit. He asked if I had any, which I did in my truck. He told me that there Box truck was not coming clean that they had used every cleaner known to man to clean this truck and that nothing work and would I put my mouth were my money was. I said, well lets try. We diluted the product to about 30% product and 70% water and sprayed the trucks box. Well, you guessed it it came right off... John and the guys cleaning the truck could not believe what just happend. John the manager stood there and said " Well, you've done it your going to be a wealth man" Of course, I said that's not what I'm after rather just something that works on the market and should the wealth come I won't stop it. Of course one of the first things I will do is get someone who can write, do the blog.

I had one guy asking me if I would sell him a gallon or the rest of the gallon, I explained I can't still waiting for the Insurance.. But once again, my product came thru....

Go ZTuffStuff Cleaner....... Well off to the Lauderdale Marine center party to show off the new Logo .......

Have a great weekend..

Great Endorsement on Monday

Another ZTuffStuff, Inc. Story:

So, on Tuesday of this week we had our friend Rich, who just moved here from San Francisco show up to show us his mother 89 Cadillac Eldorado. The car was in amazing shape however his mother parks under or near a large tree and the paint had lots of mildew on the car. Rich took it up to our local car wash on Federal Hwy near 26th street. The Car wash talked Rich into getting the car wash, waxed & Clayed. So Rich agreed, however the guy who was going to be detailing the car came to Rich and told him after trying to remove the stains from the painted bumpers with everything he had including waxing and the Clay that the bumpers will always be stained and that the only way to remove the stains would be to have the Bumpers repainted. Rich told the guy that he had a friend who was just starting a chemical company and thought that his Chemical could remove the spots. The Detail told Rich that if his friends cleaner that could remove those stains he would buy it now. So, Rich came back to the house we grabbed some of the cleaner and sprayed the bumpers of the car. We waited a minute or so scrubbed the bummer with a rag and the bumper was spot free. We all smiled and said well I guess we will be selling some cleaner today. Rich went back to the car wash to have the detailer finish the car without the spots on the bumpers. I heard that everyone came out to see it and could not believe that the stains were gone and within minutes. It turned out that Rich was going to have to leave the car for several hours so he asked me to come pick him up. When I got there, the guy told me he wanted to buy several gallons of cleaner and told me that I had to sell it to Distributor. I explained that I was still waiting on liability insurance and that I could not sell any yet and that I was just starting the company. He most of told me 10 times you've got a big hit on your hands and that maybe he could sell it for me into the car market. I explained to him that I needed to start off small and grow and that the car market was not the market I was targeting at first. He asked me twice to please let him be the first car wash with the chemical and that he would be the first one to buy it.

So, of course it made my day !!

Start of ZTuffStuff

For those of you who know me know I like to keep my things in tip top shape and along the way I wind up doing some crazy things. Yes, Sometimes I get hurt and sometimes they work out. So, here is the start of ZTuffStuff, Inc.,

About 5 yrs ago I bought a used Sea Ray. The boat was very dirty and messy as most boats are. The leather/Vinyl inside was dirty. The Vinyl on the outside needed to all be replaced and the boat did not shine. So, for weeks I worked on the boat cleaning it with some success. Using all sorts of cleaners from various boat stores and hardware stores and paying up to $30.00 a gallon for some products. However, after much cleaning effort and TONS of elbow grease I came to the conclusion that the outside vinyl just could not be saved. So, I went to get a quote on how much the cost would be to replace the Vinyl seats, Sun pad and vinyl bench cover on the boat. The cost was outrageous. So, I thought I would have to live with it until I could afford to have it replaced. One of the first trips I took was down to Key West for a weeks vacation. One Day it was very overcast and rainy and all I could look at was this stained sun pad on the bow of the boat. Wanting everything of mine to be in perfect condition, I thought I would go out to the bow and try and clean the Sun Pad with everything cleaner I had on the boat. About 15 minutes into cleaning the Sun Pad, I remembered I had yet another chemical on board and thought I would add that to the mix. Well, within Minutes and with some light scrubbing the dirt and grim started to just run off the pad. I quickly did the whole pad and could not believe what had happened, the sun pad looked brand new. I had tried every chemical separately to clean the sun pad and nothing worked individually. When I combined them the pad came out effortlessly. I was so happy I ran around the boat testing little spots on all of the Vinyl and all of it was coming clean! I was amazed. In Fact, there was another boat owner on the docks whom I did not know was watching me and admiring how clean my sun pad became so clean. He asked me to try it on a spot on his Vinyl and it did the same thing. The problem was that I did not have that much of the mixture of the chemicals and now this gentlemen who I did not know had a big white patch on his boat deck bench. So, I wound up having to have a friend who was driving down from Fort Lauderdale and asking him to stop and pick me up the chemicals. I remember him telling me that why couldn't I just use one chemical so that he did not need to stop at different stores and I had to explain that they all work in unison. Well, he brought the Chemicals to me in the Keys I was able to finish the gentlemens bench on the other boat and the new ZTuffSTuff Cleaner was born.

Starting out

Hi Everyone,

So I've been told I should start to Blog all of my success, so that I don't bother all of my friends via E-mail. So, I will start to post my success and failures if any on my blog spot.
