    Re: Customer’s Truck Arrives Muddy

    I do it because it was an idea somebody gave me, and I love the results. I know, based on AG forum discussions, that not everybody agrees with it.

    I use HDSpeed and 845

    Yup. This seems to really cause a big argument on here. I have tried a bunch of polishes (205, Griot's CC, and others). Do they perform? I think that they do a fine job. But.......

    I use Speed because as a light polish because (at least for me), nothing works as easy, and it leaves the paint insanely slick.

    To me, I don't care that Speed has protection in it. It just works SO GOOD.

    I then top it with 476.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Just as many others have already said, don’t quote without seeing the vehicle first. And as far as the topping of an AIO job, I personally would not top it with something like 845. If I want it to add some more durability, I’d use something like UFF. It’s much faster and won’t stain any trim.

    If it were me, I'd skip 845 on that vehicle. If that's your go to for details keep goin, but if you've lost time by removing more mud than you thought call it done.

    HD Speed is good, there's some others that have really jumped ahead though.

    That is why I was genuinely curios. How long does the Speed protection actually last that you need to add a wax/sealant after it? Shouldn't HD polish+ give the same cut, if not more than Speed?

    Re: Customer’s Truck Arrives Muddy

    I haven't noticed anything more than a few weeks of protection from HD Speed. I also top it with Coll 845 to extend the protection. I, like PaulMys, do like the clean/light cutting properties of Speed.

    Re: Customer’s Truck Arrives Muddy

    Hard to tell, but it doesn't look THAT bad. My Jeep gets worse than that fairly regularly just driving down the dirt road after it rains. But it definitely does add time to a detail. As others mentioned, I'd inspect but price and point out your expectations upon arrival.

    HD Speed and 845 has to create a great finish. I recently did my wife's lease turn in with HD speed and Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish and was blown away at how that turned out. I'm sure the next buyer will be happy with it, too.

    Re: Customer’s Truck Arrives Muddy

    relatively new to detailing and $400 for the work done seems reasonable to me.
    i dont find anything wrong with doing a bit extra for free.
