Back-up polisher, ya never know. You also might want to invest in some more polishes. The ones you mentioned may not always be the right ones for the job. And maybe a lower end wax, Dodo can be expensive and people may not want to pay for that extra.

Yeah I considered MaxWax

as Well as Pinn. Signature Series 2 since its WOWO ..though it would be worth it to save some time. not exactly cheap though

Other recommedations on good cheaper waxes?


Yeah Ive considered picking up some Menzerna Polishes also.


2nd D/A will have to wait as I just bought a 6x10 enclosed trailer w/ V nose :awesome:

I think Optimum spray wax is a must have. It is so easy to use but offers fairly long lasting protection.

Terry cloth towels are great for things like drying engines, tires and undercarriages.

Thanks. I actually just bought a large pack of these from Wally World the other day to assist w/ dry cleaning my pads from my d/a


Great Advice.. hadn't even thought about using some of the terry cloths for drying the engine and tires..

I was trying to figure out what I was going to use the rest for. :xyxthumbs:

you're missing a tire dressing (as tuff shine is a tire treatment I'd say) unless they have a tire dressing as well (not their tire clear coat)
xxx for an entry level wax
i'd suggest eco touch tire shine (for tires and trim) -> and their wheel cleaner very effective and bang for bucks
also you have nothing to treat trim?

Is the CQuartz DLux Plastic&Wheel Coating (http://autogeek.commerce-search.net/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autogeek.net%2Fcquar tz-dlux.html)

worth getting or possibly

GTechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer 15 ml. (http://autogeek.commerce-search.net/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autogeek.net%2Fgtech niq-c4-trim-restorer.html)



Should I buy a good Black Trim Sealant/ restorer???

IMO, you are using very expensive products to try and turn a profit detailing...unfortunately most people arent really interested in paying very much to get their car detailed...youll have to find a very speciallized group of people who will pay top dollar for qaulity products.

While they are pretty much all great products, I can see with lyour time and labour being able to turn a decent profit using these products. try finding good quality products in bulk...youll make some money that way.
