The Worst Secret Technique I've Ever Witnessed!

This thread here,

Just got hired for detailing *sort of long intro*


Got me thinking about a Secret Technique a detailer, (of sorts), shared with me when I was doing some Mustang wetsanding work for a body shop.

Here's what he shared, his secret technique for dressing the dash. This was on a newer Mustang, like a 2005, or 2006 and this was probably in 2007, so it was pretty new.

Here's what he did... and when I watched him do this I was shocked but then it got worse...


He took a popular vinyl dressing, the guy with the shield, I thinking it was the extra large size, for his technique he needs it. Next he opened the spray nozzle to a medium stream and then starting spraying it full force all over the dash, everywhere, the gauges, the vents, the buttons, EVERYTHING.

I was in shock!


It was a huge, wet mess. I thought to myself,

"I can't believe he just did that?"


But then, without missing a beat, he grabbed the air hose with a air squirter on it and started blowing the dressing with high pressure air all over the dash. Basically blowing all the excess into all the cracks, crevices, vent openings etc.

He blew it until most of the excess was gone and that was his secret technique.

I held in my disbelieve and laughter and made some type of compliment and thanked him for sharing.

It's still hard to believe what I saw that day and I'm glad he's never going to detail any of my rigs and I feel sorry for everyone that receives the Secret Technique!

I actually knew a guy that used to do that, ha. Before I took over my shop...I used to work for the previous owners. They had a guy there that would do this very same thing. I can't count on both hands how many times he blew dressing behind the gauge lenses, stereo faceplate, and other things, ha.

I told him to stop doing it many times. He didn't stop until one time he completely broke a customers stereo. Unbelievable.

Does Mr. Phillips's post sound familiar?

I think there were some that gave you similar advice in using a water hose on vynil floors. Never liked the thought of introducing rust inducing water in places it shouldn't be, but that's just me.

Someone ought to have explained to that chap how much more money he could be making by using significantly less product to get the job done....
