It is a brand new facility. In fact,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cthere are a few things to fix\u201d before his certificate of occupancy becomes permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The shop has 3,800 square feet of work space and includes a custom-built clean room and a training facility. The first training session was in October and attracted auto detailers from across the country. He hopes to help build credibility for a new industry, working with colleagues to develop standards and a certification process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As an information technology person, LaCross worked as a systems administrator and operated data centers. His experience in running a business carried over into the current enterprise. It also helps in his effort to develop standard operating procedures for everything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">At the same time, he was preparing cars for auto shows and doing other detailing work, using space in the back of an automobile service shop. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->He opened his own place in Burnt Hills and then moved to a shop on Route 9 in Queensbury before moving to his present location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">LaCross prides himself on his attention to detail, \u201can almost OCD level of perfection-seeking,\u201d in his work, he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The company does three kinds of re-finishing: ceramic coating, urethane film, and paint correcting. A project typically takes from two or three days to a week to complete and can cost anywhere from $500 to $10,000 or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The ceramic coating replaces wax and sealant and gives an automobile body a high level of gloss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt looks like a really high-end wax and will stay that way,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The paint protection is a clear urethane coating.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The surface is \u201cself healing,\u201d able to repair surface scratches and nicks. And it can be pealed off. A paint correction treatment consists of fixing uneven spots and blemishes in the car\u2019s factory finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Currently, there are two people working at Legendary Auto Salon but LaCross is looking to hire additional people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">He is looking for people with some experience in auto body work. He will train the appropriate people, including sending them to the manufacturer\u2019s training facility in San Antonio, Texas, where he trained. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Training can be a slow process. For example, LaCross estimated that it takes 300 to 500 car treatments to learn to properly apply the urethane film treatment. \u201cYou learn by doing it over and over again.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">He said that he often uses rental cars to train new craftsmen. The rental companies are happy to do it. \u201cWe return the car in much better condition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Typically, the shop can handle three or four cars at a time and, according to LaCross, they are booking now for June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In the future, LaCross may expand into the unit next door to his and may refinish boats and small industrial equipment as well as cars. Recently, he did work on a small excavator and was able to \u201cfeel out what would be needed in the way of new techniques and equipment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">More information about the business is available at www.legendaryautosalon.com.
